Central Desktop is happy to announce the winners of our Social Technology for Social Good Grant. The contest was first announced October 10th 2008 as part of our ongoing effort to show how social technology is being used to make the world a better place. Entrants were encouraged to submit a written entry and were judged on how they would leverage Central Desktop to interact, manage and forward their social good goals.
We had many submissions, and picking winners was no easy task. We are extremely pleased with the results and would like to thank all the organizations who participated, and congratulations to the WINNERS!
