Blogging for Social Causes

Social Networking and Social Causes

The above article has many interesting facts in which I admire. As a Myspace user I greatly admired MySpace launching its "Impact" channel earlier this year. This encourages political activism and lets users participate in a wide range of charities. This new idea from Myspace will create a positive focus on helping those in need. Basically the site's goal is to allow users of our generation to not only socialize while online but also to change the world. It offers a set of free and easy-to-use online fundraising and community-building tools that help nonprofits create their own branded easy giving center.

Washington Post Article on Social Networks for Social Causes

The above article is easy to admire the new district start up called Razoo. Razoo is a for-profit company that has built a Web site to connect people with one another, much like social networking giants MySpace and Facebook, but in support of humanitarian objectives such as helping the poor in Nicaragua. It's a really neat Challenge, and an easy way to make a real difference to a cause.

My attempt in blogging to further a cause:

I would begin to post my blogs on a global web page to generate a better audience and hopefully result in many donations. I would become a member of an activist site and communicate with people who are also interested in campaigning against the injustice around the world. It is a quick and inexpensive way to create a presence on the Internet, to broadcast information about a cause, and to organize actions to decision-makers.
