We connected through the "cambodia" tag on flickr because I was tracking it for Global Voices back in 2005.

Then I discovered the Internet and became the community builder for Arts Wire, an online network for artists that used a unix-based text conferencing system called Caucus. I think of those online communities as social media because it was all about conversation, getting to know people, and interacting. It was all about community.

Photo by Life in Africa For this week's BlogHer Holiday Guide post, I needed to come up with a list of nonprofit organizations or causes that BlogHer readers may consider making a donation to as part of their year-end giving.

I think it was more intense than a Westerner's culture shock visiting Cambodia for the first time. First, there was a lot of energy in the room, similar to the blogher , because a lot of people had been reading each other's blogs or posts on GV, but had never met face-to-face.

You don't necessarily see women keynote at technology conferences (well accept for women focused technology conferences like blogher ), but Geoff was trying hard ensure a gender balanced program and succeeded.

I am sitting here amazed that we were able to meet the campaign goal for the Cambodia Bloggers Summit in about week's time. She suggested that if anyone didn't want to pack their t-shirts, that I would be happy to take them to Cambodia. Photo by Shel Israel. I want to thank Carnet Williams and ChipIn for the challenge match!

I was able to raise $2,657 to cover the costs of college tuition for Leng Sopharath, an orphan in Cambodia in just 90 minutes.
