Aspiration was delighted to design and facilitate a focus group for Craigslist Foundation's latest project, code-named What Works, in San Francisco at the end of January.

And to the extent that they do, to then investigate how to better get that information distributed where it needs to go.
Aspiration was delighted to deliver another webinar in TechSoup's most excellent webinar series, entitled Integrating Social Media into Your Website.
