Have Fun - Do Good

APRIL 22, 2006

The event was hosted by the World Affairs Council. It isn't up yet at this writing, but you should be able to hear an audio recording of the session once it is posted, here. People from the Bay Area Darfur Coalition were handing out info. about events happening on April 30th to raise awareness about the genocide in Darfur.

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JULY 19, 2006

In-world speakers from nonprofits who spoke about their work included Evonne Heyning from Camp Darfur, Barry Joseph from Global Kids , Lori Bell from the Library Alliance , and Marc Sirkin from LLS. I found it more engaging than participating in a hosted chat discussion and watching text stream across the screen.

I liked the audio welcome message at this site. Save Darfur. Here's a list of Nonprofit Myspaces that I visited quickly. One thing that struck me is that difference in style/look and feel - from say this profile and this one. I can't seem to get handle on myspace ugliness. Here's a list culled from the portal. happy browsing.

Museum 2.0

JANUARY 5, 2007

The Exploratorium did the solar eclipse, and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum is doing all kinds of programs around Darfur. Linden Labs has expressed they are well along with audio integration into Second Life, and I think there will be many other features around communication and social networking and ease of use that will come along soon.
