Blog Action Day 08
By Ben Chinn
Bloggers are often accused of complaining about things and never actually doing anything. Blog Action Day 08 is hoping to change that. The concept is simple, get a huge group of bloggers to blog about poverty in some way, shape, or form. Why do this? “Every blogger has a unique voice, audience and perspective. By speaking to their readers on topic about an important issue we can discuss global issues like poverty in a new and hugely multi-faceted way. And from discussion springs action.”
The other great thing about this is it brings sites like Kiva into the forefront. Most people reading these blogs will see a problem but think they can’t do anything about it because they’re short on money. The whole point of Kiva is that you can donate a small amount and it can still make a huge change.
This year, Blog Action Day has signed up 9,394 Sites and expects at least 10,612,112 readers. This is really a great chance to get your voice heard no matter how big or small your blog is.
Check back tomorrow for a great recap of Blog Action Day 08 from Causecast.
