There was a question on an ASAE listserve last week from a Japanese AMC looking for online/mobile examples of what associations and nonprofits could do to help with Japanese relief efforts following the earthquake a couple of weeks ago. I scoured my Reader and fired off a few links (including some about social networks and tech companies and startups); and it seemed like a good idea to repost them here with a couple of additional ones I’ve seen since.

Maddie did a quick post about Google for Nonprofits. At the event where they shared information about the new program, they did some demos of Google Maps, Google Earth, and YouTube.
