Recently, folks at the Non Profit Blog Exchange have been preparing for their next virtual event. I took this as an opportunity to add several non-profit blogs to by bloglines.

Today, I read a few interesting posts that I would like to highlight. Over at Mission Based Management, Peter Brinkerhoff writes about Sarbanes-Oxley and its implications for non-profits. He links to a couple good resources on the subject.

Ethan Zuckerman recently wrote about what is going on in Jordan. Ethan co-founded Global Voices, a site that calls attention to important blogging around the world. Reading both his blog and the Global Voices blog is a great way of getting a much richer picture of what is really going on in our world.

One global issue that has gotten a little bit of press here is the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Deemed the Kyoto accord of tobacco, the United States has not signed the accord. However, the American Cancer Society is doing its part to curtail smoking.

RelayBlogger has an article about the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout blog.

Finally, for a little levity, donorpowerblog has this link about “How Google might look, if it were run the way many nonprofits operate today.”

I hope everyone takes a few moments out and reads some of the non profit blogs and blogs talking about things going on in other parts of our world.
