I started contributing to Global Voices where I did blogging roundups from Cambodia. In 2007, I raised money to help sponsor the first Cambodian Bloggers conference and raised a lot of the money via Twitter as Shel Israel noted in his book, Twitterville.

I'm remembering something that I heard Robert Scobel say at last year's Global s Summit in London. A question about whether or not to use the "donate" link in every blog post.

The place where we get out bamboo in China, they had floods last year so we started donating 20% of our proceeds back to them so they could rebuild their factories.
