It’s Friday, it’s 6pm, it can mean only one thing: the weekly round-up of news….

– On Monday, the Ambassadors will be announced…watch this space for Ferrero Rochers etc.

– Here’s a big catalogue of measurement and evaluation tools and guides and kits and blah for the 3rd sector

– What are the top 12 nonprofit Facebook apps? These are. Now you can clutter your Facebook page with worthy stuff as well as pirates and zombies.

– If the entry before didn’t make sense, SSE Fellow Jude Habib is running a web 2.0 seminar (pdf) for third sector orgs…

– Apparently, there was some shenanigans in the world of politics this past week or two. Amongst the copycat and namecalling antics, the sector remained pretty much as was.

– Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace Prize, don’t you know…..

– Good books and magazines for social entrepreneurs? Any suggestions? Happy to add to our SSE Links / Resources pages…

– I missed this article about SSE Fellow Michelle Baharier’s Cooltan Arts project the other week. Great stuff.

– Inheritance tax isn’t the big property issue: estate agents’ (realtors, US readers) carbon footprint, that’s the issue. Which makes Pedal to Properties a work of genius.

On which note I bid you farewell and a happy weekend……
