With the rise of importance of social networks, and the sheer number of them, there has been development of a number of "listening" tools, which aggregate people's activities/fans/followers/friends and try to produce useful information about what is going on.

We have been looking at whether it is a good idea to use households and thought I would pull together the various things that have been written about households into a bit of a 'where are they at'.
Update: Due to an unfortunate error multilingual sites cannot be upgraded to CiviCRM 3.2.2; if you’re running such site please wait for CiviCRM 3.2.3. Single-language sites (regardless of the language they use) should upgrade to CiviCRM 3.2.2 cleanly, and new CiviCRM 3.2.2 installations (both single- and multilingual) should work without a problem.
CivicActions is offering a full day CiviCRM User Training in Seattle and in Berkeley.
After what seems to be an incredibly long time, we released CiviCRM v3.2 a few weeks ago to good reviews and not too many critical bug reports :). Now that is out of the way, we are starting to plan the feature set for v3.3
We've been fortunate to get a grant from Open Society Institute to help add some features important for Human Right Organizations, specifically for Front Line. We've been working with Front Line for a few years and this grant allows us to target their needs more effectively. Some of the features that are included in this grant are:
Extending Address inheritance from Organization to an Individual (or from any contact to any other contact - TBD).
Building Advanced Reports and Dashlets for Human Rights Organizations
First version of Logging
I'm very thrilled and excited to announce that, we will introduce CiviCampaign as a Core CiviCRM component for Campaign functionality in CiviCRM v3.3
With the help of CiviCampaign we could effectively use CiviCRM for Voter Canvassing.
It allows you to define a group of contacts for canvassing who are voters for a survey. We are storing report of each voter interview with lots of flexibility.
I have developed very basic iphone app for CiviCRM using Titanium framework.

Out of the box Civi comes with a decent set of tokens, including tokens for all the address fields. One thing it doesn't do is provide a token that correctly formats an address block taking account of when fields aren't present. For example, if i used the following address tokens for my address:
