As a steward of voluteer-raised money, the ACS must be extra careful when investing money into the next big thing/tech on the internet.
They use del.icio.us as their web glossary.
They use Flickr to post photos from all kinds of events (e.g., tag:relayforlife). Along with a CC license they use those for promotion.
Blogs are used to create very small communities (e.g., a group of 5 people using TypePad to create a blog to quite smoking).
labs.cancer.org – an idea from Google Labs
They use Drupal (relayforlife.org) because of the vibrant community surrounding it.
Lots of people know PHP and can help maintain/augment the code.
Second Life Relay for Life – all I can say is wow.
