The Future of Now: Mobile Online Fundraising

Today, our blog host Razoo.com officially announced its mobile platform a combination of an iPhone for social fundraisers, and a forthcoming smartphone friendly web site initiative (see Fast Company story). What does that have to do with online fundraising? you may ask.

Simple: It has everything to do with the reality of America’s use of the mobile Internet. Just yesterday, Pew Internet released a report showing that 28% of all Americans use their phones for mobile or social location-based services.
