I know you’re out there, you readers intrigued by new web tools and how they can be used for social change! Well my wonderful coworkers at Tech Soup’s Net 2 are looking for a hand or two in profiling some really exciting non-profit groups using tools like blogs, RSS, Drupal, etc. You’ve got half an hour to do a good deed!
According to volunteer coordinater Britt Bravo, “Writing up a nonprofit profile only takes 15-20 minutes. Just register on the Net Squared site, log in, go to the “Put Your Voice in the Mix” page, http://www.netsquared.org/participate/put-your-voice-in-the-mix ,
click on “submit your case study” and fill out the form.”
Britt has a long list of groups that could be profiled, or you can find them yourself. You can get ahold of Britt via bbravo@techsoup.org. Don’t be shy about profiling your own group, either!
This is just one of many opportunities for folks to help leverage Web2.0 for the betterment of the world. Check out http://www.netsquared.org/participate/be-netsquared-builder for more info on what can be done besides profile writing.
Here’s some of the most recent groups that have been profiled:
- Earth Share Washington
Earth Share of Washington is 66 leading environmental organizations that help to protect our environment and quality of life – locally, nationally and internationally. - Word of Blog
Word of Blog is a new and free service that helps you spread the word about things you like, events you care about and worthy causes you want to support. - Pambazuka News
Pambazuka News is a weekly electronic newsletter covering news, commentary, analysis and a range of other resources on human rights and development in Africa.
Here’s a link to the full list of profiled groups so far. It’s pretty inspiring!
