Blog Action Day is tomorrow, the day is organized to raise awareness about poverty. World Vision is pretty much awesomeness and have created a pile of information and resources on the topic at their site Learnaboutpoverty so there is no excuse for you not to post something about the topic tomorrow.

There have been a number of really exciting social media projects coming from the Not For Profit sector in Australia at the moment. Blue Day 2008, Amnesty International Chinese Internet Censorship, World Vision Stir, I presented to Earth Hour crew last week and they are keen to do something next year and I am personally working on the Seek Volunteers Unplugged (more details to come).

I think that the blogging and twitter community is more receptive to Not For Profit causes and I don’t know how successful the business sector will be at replicating the success with social media projects. Thoughts?

Congrats to Steve and Ross for helping to create a really good resource and getting the word out to the community.
