Hewlett Foundation | The Philanthropy Blogosphere

Hewlett Foundation | The Philanthropy Blogosphere: "More broadly considered, the episode was another coming-of-age moment in the flourishing philanthropy blogosphere. Once a backwater of the online world where a relatively small number of people interested in philanthropy talked among themselves, these blogs have grown significantly in presence and profile in recent years.

Their writers now routinely receive press credentials to blog at major conferences like the Council on Foundations, their postings are monitored by influential publications like The New York Times, and foundation program officers join in the conversations on the blogs, using them as sounding boards for policy and sources of ideas."
