Have Fun - Do Good

JUNE 1, 2006

Let your audience grow and create your product. I'd seen Tara wow the audience when we were on a Blogging for Business panel together, but I'd never seen Elisa (or Lisa) from Blogher speak before, and I was super impressed. Now I'm really excited to go to the Blogher Conference ! Follow Open Source principles.

My main takeaway from their rainbow of stories is that there are *so* many ways to have fun and do good. But it’s also fun. I've done a final round-up of their posts below , in case you missed any.

One of the things for me, in going to protests and demonstrations about different issues, is that I felt that the protests were really boring, dry and preachy, not fun and compelling. One of the fun things about sitting up here is Britt and I went to college together. Because it's fun. About 17 of our products are Fair Trade.
