Giv.to, a Graduate from the Washington DC area, was just featured in a nice Washington Post article. Congratultions!
"When Michael Mayernick and Adam Bonnifield launched Giv.to in June 2009, the for-profit venture offered political and advocacy groups technology to shorten URLs that also tracked which Twitter and Facebook links led to donations.
Now just past the one-year mark, the Washington-based entrepreneurs are building Giv.to into an application through which an organization can manage its entire social media footprint. They say it signals a maturation of social media from a fledgling idea to one with real impact."
