E-Volunteerism is a new online journal about volunteer management that will be published quarterly by Energize, a Philadelphia company that specializes in volunteerism. The journal is designed to allow readers to post their reactions to the articles and respond to one another’s comments. Through the end of the year, annual subscriptions will cost $32; in 2001 the price will go up to $40. To get there: Go to http://www.e-volunteerism.com.
Fight AIDS@Home, a new charitable program developed by Entropia, allows computer owners to donate their machines’ idle processing power to an AIDS and divides them into much smaller tasks, which are then distributed via the Internet to personal computers that are part of the Entropia network.
