Get serious about social networking

September 19, 2008 By Administrator

Photo of dahlia taken by Judy VorfeldI’ve been doing research on social networking in terms of its value to people in business, and after over a month of digging into it, can say that it may be very valuable to you.

I’ll be addressing this in my next Communication Expressway ezine, and also in Webgrammar’s Food for Thought.

Times are changing rapidly, and we owe it to ourselves as business people to stay tuned to what is happening, even if we don’t always join in. We have access to some of the brightest minds in the world, and stretching ourselves is so good for us.

Don’t get in a rut.

I’m in the beginning stages, but have tried enough things to know that, when used properly, social networking will help me serve my clients better. It could be true for you as well. Investigate Technorati, Digg, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn at the very least!

Bloggers Launch TrainforHumanity.org Humanitarian Initiative

September 9, 2008 By Administrator

Train for Humanity Blog PartnerOver the past five years, 200,000 civilians have died due to violence, malnutrition, and disease in Darfur and an additional 2.2 million people have been displaced. We want to do something about it.

Fed up with watching humanitarian crises on the evening news and not doing anything to help, a group of bloggers (most notably, Leo Babauta of Zen Habits) have created and founded the non-profit Train for Humanity, which is an online humanitarian awareness and fundraising organization.

Over 150,000 new blogs are added to the internet everday. Train for Humanity’s mission is to utilize the web, social media, and blogging, in tandem with athletes in training, to support organizations that help prevent suffering and alleviate the pain of children, orphans, and refugees who have been displaced due to genocide or internal strife and war within their country.

Quite simply, they believe – getting fit + social media + blogging = social good

The three pilot project athlete-bloggers, Mark Hayward, Dan Clements, and Leo Babauta are hoping to raise awareness for the current crisis in Darfur and funds for the organization Darfur Peace and Development. All three are training for endurance events of varying distances ranging from a triathlon to a marathon.

They hope to show people that with a little creativity and innovation, anyone can assist and make a difference in the world. If you would like to learn more, have a look at the Train for Humanity website and please consider sponsoring one of them or spreading the word.

July 16, 2008 By Administrator

Karen Shirk, Executive Director of 4PawsforAbility, Inc., is featured this week as a CNN Hero. I’m webmaster for the site, and know a bit about what she does for this organization.

Karen’s enthusiam and commitment truly make a difference in the lives of many families, and she hopes her organization can grow in a healthy way so she can see increased numbers of families helped.

Her agency’s website is at http://www.4pawsforability.org – it’s worth a visit.

And be sure to read about her children.
She has one adopted child at home, and three in Haiti awaiting the time when all the approvals can be made.

Group blog for parents of children with special needs

July 16, 2008 By Administrator

There’s a brand new blog out there, and it is a work of art. It’s 5 Minutes for Special Needs and is written by a number of articulate parents who choose to offer support, insight, and inspiration.

It rocks.
