Community Assistance: BlogHers are cutting through the red tape
and doing it for themselves, delivering tangible aid to communities in
need, locally and around the world. Many blogs focus on raising
awareness, but sometimes they actually raise money, become a hub for
victim assistance or even put those who want to help directly in touch
with those who need the help. Betty Sullivan, whose Betty's List has been assisting the San Francisco LGBT community for years, talk to Sara Ford, Grace Davis and Dina Mehta about why and how they did it. Learn how you can too. Will try and blog the event. There are some really interesting sessions lined up here are some that I have earmarked to attend - they might change when there :):Day One: So you have this crazy idea, Audience building and $$$s, Tagging, tracking and what's this structured blogging Day Two: Identity and Obligations, From Here to Autonomy - Blogger as Entrepreneur (which i will miss as it runs parallel to our session - will keep one eye out on that if i can), Next Level Naked, I hope to share experiences and learnings around all the work we've done with the World Wide Help blogs and wikis, with MumbaiHelp and the Mumbai Help Wiki and the recent Bloggers Against Censorship activism. And am looking forward to learning about how others are using social media for community assistance! 11:28:09 AM  comment [] trackback []
