My awesome (and inspiring) friend from Digital Democracy is raising funds to translate an important text to inspire activists in Burma. Please donate to it. It's cool, creative AND social changing. How can you not pledge?

"Ha! Funny you ask. You might say Eddie was the whole reason I'm here. He basically sent a Tweet to me about an organization here 'that does everything that I do in the States' (nptech for creative/DIY individuals/communities). Lo and behold, when I checked the link he tweeted (and came to CuriousWorks' website) there *happened* to be a new job posting that had *just* gone up for a New Media Educator. I also fundraised my way over here through a project I had in the works using a fundraising platform he had ALSO invited me to - Kickstarter. Eddie = intro to Kickstarter + intro to CuriousWorks = Morgan mashing the two up to move out and work in Sydney/the Australian Outback. Latest adventures here: http://www.weoperatebesttogether.org (and on the CuriousWorks blog as well)"

"I'm helping environmental activist learn how to make media tomorrow that can be distributed online. Our main question is: how do we connect local stories to national stories having to do with environmental justice. Maps seem to be a great tool for visualizing these networks of collaborations, partnerships ans stories... Here's my link. Wish me luck! http://curiousworks.allaroundyou.com.au/2009......"

"Forgot to add in this bit of awesomeness too: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ Allows you to upload CSV files and export them into KML files (that can be used in GMaps/GEarth). Imagine: a list of all your contacts (great for planning trips) a spreadsheet of all the superfund sites in the world (why are some concentrated in some places and not others?) a list of mining towns mashed up with instances of certain diseases (makes a pretty strong case for more environmental justice:)"

"@ChristinasWorld Great! I'm glad you liked it. I've been thinking about that too. How do we leverage attention/resources/connectivity to people/communities/causes in need? Perhaps people that work outside (or alongside?) organizations, using their nimbleness and connectivity to 'channel in' *offline* activity into online groups/stakeholders that can 'channel back' resources - like a cycle. I think a lot of the time, orgs/businesses move too slowly (though they usually have great pull/influence). Have you seen: http://www.socialactions.com/social-...... ?"

"Hi Valdis,thank you for the PDF! I'd actually come across your site last year and bookmarked it as it had some really, really great stuff on networks. You've got some great resources on your case studies page: http://orgnet.com/cases.html I really like your two step process: - *know the net* -- see the map of how things really work - *knit the net* -- adjust the network for improvements I'm sure you're connected to Beth Kanter?"

"Hey Tash, thanks so much for rockin' that connection to Saatchi & Saatchi. The new colors look great. if ever you wanna delve more into some intermediate skills with CSS, I'd recommend using the Firefox Web Developer add on if you haven't already. I wrote about it here: http://www.memeshift.com/2009...... It's really brilliant as it allows you to 'live edit' the CSS of your pages - you can see changes in the page as you adjust the CSS... rockit!"
