Blog Action Day 2008
Today is the launch of Blog Action Day 2008. If you're a blogger, you can register at the site. "Blog Action Day itself is on October 15th and on that day we ask bloggers everywhere to publish a post on the same day on the same issue, with the intent to hijack the conversation on the internet that day and examine the issue from a thousand different angles...This year we've got a really important issue - Poverty - and it's going to be really fascinating to see how people come at it from different angles." Once you've registered at the site at the site, take a look at eHub editor, Matt Murphy's post from last year, "Saving the Planet Web 2.0 Style."
