I've been following Charlene Li ever since I heard her speak at opening keynote at the first BlogHer Conference in 2005. She has a blog, "The Altimeter" that discusses these topics at blog.altimetergroup.com. If I have a one on one meeting, I'll check out their online profiles, updates, and blog, so that I'm up to date.

I wasn't as lucky as Amy Gahran who won the free pass to attend at BlogHer. Yet many have overcome the odds and made a splash online and offline by using the latest Web technologies -- for pennies on the dollar.

She blogs at Standing Firm for Fair Immigration Reform Movement. He started a blog, and asked me to continue the project. I transformed that blog into what is today Standing FIRM and my interest in social media as a tool for organizing skyrocketed from there. Like the new pro-migrant community blog, the Sanctuary.
