- The Blogger Challenge is on! And bloggers all over the country are giving it their all to show that they have the most concerned and generous readers. We can't contain our excitement about the range of amazing ideas getting posted on the Blogger Challenge:
- From a $1 million challenge (LitLiberation) to smaller challenges (A Mom on a Mission, Retrospectacle).
- From challenges that will bring technology (All Things Digital, engadget, TechCrunch), furniture (Apartment Therapy), nutrition (Eater) and music (Anil Dash) education into under-resourced classrooms.
- From a blogger who promises to “sell” his blog (Uncertain Principles) to a blogger who will jaunt around 30 Rockefeller in a tomato costume (Tomato Nation).
- Six Apart is so excited about DonorsChoose.org that they gave out $30 gift certificates to anybody who asked for them! Check out their announcement of the news on LiveJournal and Movable Type. 431 eager citizen philanthropists have already chosen classroom projects to fund with the gift certificates they requested!
- Charles Best speaks about the future of philanthropy at the events “Hacking Philanthropy” and “The Contribute Forum Series New Conversations for Change.”
