Who Gives Kudos:


Thursday, August 21, 2008 
I've created an event called Social Media for Social Change.

The basic idea behind Social Media for Social Change is this:

The social media world has proven that, though still a young and small community within a multitude of industries, we have the power to exact great change.

Social media has broken down walls and created conversations. IBM does product testing in Second Life. Old college classmates reunite on Facebook. Zappos does intra-office communication via Twitter. All great, paradigm shifting events.

But what about change for the greater good?

Social Media for Social Change was born of the idea that the social media community, these "agents of change" can get together for one night, to support one cause.



On October 10th, I will be hosting Social Media for Social Change. It will be at the Harvard Club on Commonwealth Ave.

Great to see you doing this work, Gradon! Hope I can make the Oct. 10th event.
This is important to make the media work for human development as opposed to only making humans work for our "right" to buy media hardware/software. I would give this post 100 kudos if they'd let me! Keep on keepin' on!

(My posts on the group may be a little off-topic, so no worries if you delete them!)
