Disruptive technology or not, I applaud Posima, a website development application, for its latest effort – helping non-profits obtain a web presence through the Posima Cares program.

Non-profits are always juggling so many necessary tasks with so little support, that many can’t justify the time and money necessary to create a website. Posima cares. We understand that non-profits are working hard to make the world a better place and we want to help. We have the tools to give them a web presence quickly, easily, and beautifully… without the restrictions traditionally faced. And starting Feb. 1… we’re going to take out another constraint.

100 free accounts to non-profits. Very cool.

Users will be able to introduce their efforts through text and pictures. They can setup mailing lists for volunteers and/or donors. Funds can be collected utilizing Paypal “Make a Donation” buttons. Events can be showcased by uploading video to Google then streaming it through their Posima-powered website.

People get caught up in silly things far too often (“do you think our company is really web 2.0?”) and don’t focus nearly enough on what’s truly important. This is a good first step and it would be great to see other companies follow this example.

Welcome to the conversation.

Hi, I'm Fraser and this is my personal site where I write about the things I'm interested in: start-up strategy, the web, music, and life.

My days are spent commercializing emerging technologies. Currently I'm helping to deliver the promise of semantic web to the consumer market at AdaptiveBlue. Previously I was at Trivaris, a Canadian seed stage investment firm.

I am a co-founder of Innovation Night, a community driven event supporting entrepreneurship in Canadian and US cities.

Here's what I'm doing right now:
