Supporting Local Communities...with the Help of the Internet
Hi Friends.
One of my favorite parts of this season is the feeling of unity and goodwill that spreads over us all. I wish we felt it more often other times of the year!
This newsletter brings together two of our biggest passions: the internet and our local community. We're able to live in a great place while doing great work. As a result, we like so share our gratitude every now and then (it's a good exercise).No matter where you are in the world, show your gratitude this holiday season by paying it forward with the help of the internet. We'll show you how.
Happy Holidays,Nicole and the Breaking Even Team
How Can the Internet Support Local Communities
We came up with some ideas of varying degrees of time/money commitments to inspire others in giving back this season.
Some of these ideas take five minutes, some of these ideas you can do on your own website, and some of these anyone with an internet connection can do.

TinyLetter from Mailchimp is a newsletter for individuals (really interesting people or "personal brands). You can send updates about projects or life in general with animated gifs (I like to think of it as email Christmas cards, but year round)

The Surface tablet combines ultra lightweight portability with a full Windows experience. The keyboard is essential, the stylus is not. Allows you to be uber-productive one minute and snapping photos of your children destroying your living room the next.
