Hi, I don't relish describing myself but here goes.. I am a hybrid of: happy mum, soul-bird, Charity Digital Media Consultant (caps!), travel tech start-up director, late-starter.

Suffering Fb / Twitter fatigue? Could Pinterest be the story-teller your charity needs?

I've always loved Maslow's hierarchy of needs - it's all about human fulfilment but note that the 'self' is not a selfish self!

The Cemetary of Books is itself a world of mystery. When it refers to the 'Rock of Gibraltar' I had a little pang of homesickness. But I am beginning to think homesickness is more about reminiscing about or missing a stage of life than missing an actual place. The people, experiences and feelings at the time gave the place its meaning which kind of explains why sometimes when you go back you feel displaced.

JustGiving Xmas Insights - an infographic of 9 years of JustGiving donor habits at Christmas

CAF Giving Widget: Delighted to see CAF launching their giving widget, which their charity clients can add to their web pages, blogs & Facebook pages. Hoping it will improve online fundraising for many charities, and bring plenty of new ones on board too.

The "World Giving Index" is the first report of its kind looking at charitable behaviour across the world. Using data from Gallup's Worldview World Poll. CAF looked at three different types of charitable behaviour - giving money, giving time and helping a stranger and used the results to produce the "World Giving Index". Australia and New Zealand topped the Index. Malta was found to be the country with the largest percentage of the population (83%) giving money, the people of Turkmenistan are the most generous with their time with 61% having given time to charity and Liberia was top of the list for helping a stranger (76%). The study also found that being happy is more of an influence on giving money to charity than being wealthy.

Sarah Hughes Should say I found this on the Good website - www.good.is. The About page is powerful, nay moving: "What Is GOOD? In a world where things too often don’t work, GOOD seeks a path that does. Left, right. In, out. Greed, altruism. Us, them. These are the defaults and they are broken. We are the alternative model. We are the reasonable people who give a damn. No dogma. No party lines. No borders. We care about what works--what is sustainable, prosperous, productive, creative, and just--for all of us and each of us. This isn’t easy, but we are not afraid to fail. We’ll figure it out as we go."

Made with just 4 ingredients and they are all yummy - great infographic!

In this world, when you're big you're massive. But $585 million to build Google+; I can't neither compute nor comprehend. Couldn't these co's just save the worlds tigers, rainforests, refugees, illiterates, polio victims - you get the gist :)

I remember way back at the start of the Internet when a UK newspaper cartoonist sketched a dog at a computer with the caption "on the Internet no-one even know you're a dog!". Nowadays everyone can know who you are online, but neatly this image from the Dogs Trust brings the humour back again! www.facebook.com/...

David and I visited the Pac Ou caves near Luang Prabang on our backpacking honeymoon. Laos and Vietnam were very un-touristy back in 2000. The memory of this cave is very special. I wish I'd had a buddha of my own to leave behind. It would be nice to think of it lying there.
