Getting Started with Amazon EC2. Amazon EC2 is among the more potent items in Amazon's web services arsenal. You've probably heard of many of the other services such as S3 for storage and FPS for payments. EC2 is all about the "elastic compute cloud. " In layman's terms, it's a server. In slightly less layman's terms, EC2 lets you easily run and manage many instances (like servers) and given the proper software and configurations, have a scalable platform for your web application, outsource resource-intensive tasks to EC2 or for whatever you would use a server farm. There are three different sizes of EC2 instances you can summon and they're all probably more powerful than the server currently running your blog. Unless you're offloading video processing or something intense to EC2, the default small instance with its 1.7GB of RAM and 160GB disk should be more than fine. EC2 has been around for a while but has gained interest in the last few weeks as Amazon released an elastic IP feature.

The Strategy Landscape Tool Helps Solve Wicked Problems. Source: Monitor Institute Monitor Institute and the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) have launched a joint venture to bring a new data visualization tool, “The Strategy Landscape Tool“ to the field of philanthropy. Created with support from the Rockfeller Foundation, the tool allows users to easily see and understand grantmaking strategies and patterns within and across institutions so they can make better decisions in pursuit of their goals. This tool is important because it facilitates funders working in a networked way.
Here’s why: Philanthropy today is called upon to address increasingly complex and interrelated challenges that don’t adhere to traditional geographic, disciplinary, and sectoral boundaries—poverty, health care, climate change, and education to name a few.
