A bit of progress, from #GreeningOfStreaming to our first test lab, in conjunction with @etsu Innovation Lab. Making space so you can send us your “junk” computers and tablets https://t.co/BNKsbA2o9Q

@dariusrucker @YouTube When you were in Kingsport a few weeks back, I’d wanted to shout this out from the crowd as an encore song. How I wished I’d done so, because even though James Hooker is a friend, your duet with Nanci is the one I always turn to…

Hey, Tennesee! It’s #taxfree weekend for computer and tablet buys. When you get that new gear, consider donating your #oldtech to Help Me Stream. We’ll give you a tax write off and you’ll be helping those in need stream. https://t.co/JcFZxzxSCr

An opinion piece our founder wrote on the streaming industry premise that line sports (or news) being “as easy to watch as turning on a TV”

So why is watching live sports in OTT apps such a pain?

A great synopsis of how the @HelpMeStream mission intersects with ESG and efficiency innovation from @Akamai Thanks to @d2consulting's Dom Robinson for setting up this #GreeningofStreaming fireside chat! https://t.co/LfpM0UCseX

One ways @HelpMeStream helps the overall streaming market is through primary research projects like this one we've partnered with @streamingmedia on. Plus you get a chance to register for a drawing for an Oculus Quest 2!

We don’t use referral codes to make money if you buy a products we test/review. We’ll shortly be posting a review of the very sturdy BrosTrend WiFi Extender 1200Mbps Internet Booster Wireless Repeater for Home, which we’ve been testing outdoors for 3 months. #streamingwithheart

Ok all three @Guidestar Case # resolved and now we’re listed with an appropriate transparency ranking: https://t.co/Fsoq6MqhbU Thanks to Robin for helping sort it out!

[Help Me Stream Research Foundation @HelpMeStream]

What’s going on @CandidDotOrg and @GuideStarUSA ? Seems like chaos as we keep getting the same message every two days, followed a day later by confirmation they’ve successfully received required document. Meanwhile the profile they posted lacks provided info with no way to change

[Help Me Stream Research Foundation @HelpMeStream]

Oh and then we get a new case number every time we reply. We’re up to 3 now!

And then don't forget to share the #Duplicate Site doc when you republish under the new primary domain. It doesn't default to #public view for a very good reason!

[Help Me Stream Research Foundation @HelpMeStream]

Working with new Sites in Workspace? @Google support says Site documents don't port like in Classic Sites. Creates a major hassle if you're shifting primary domains--ask us how we know ;-) #Duplicate Site docs is key since renaming users doesn't shift Site to new primary domain!

We've got a new logo concept, thanks to @thinkjose, who didn't want us to look like Twitter noobs. Thanks for the spicy idea, Jose!

[Help Me Stream Research Foundation @HelpMeStream]

Finally approved for Workspace for Nonprofits! Wishing the next two days Help Me Stream Research Foundation should have a new home, thanks to @TechSoup and @Google

@TechSoup Was escalated internally & resolved without requirement of additional documents beyond IRS determination letter, but it’s concerning TechSoup would ask for extra-governmental proof, which could cause those 501c3 entities in less empowered situations to face latent discrimination

[Help Me Stream Research Foundation @HelpMeStream]

Still waiting on @TechSoup to learn how to use the IRS not-for-profit search tool to verify that we're a 501(c)3. They wouldn't accept our scanned copy of the IRS letter, despite requesting it. Does easily accessible tech make for lazy research skills?
