Total Immersion Blogging

"Oh, gentlemen, do you know, perhaps I consider myself an intelligent man, only because all my life I have been able neither to begin nor to finish anything. Granted I am a babbler, a harmless vexatious babbler, like all of us. But what is to be done if the direct and sole vocation of every intelligent man is babble, that is, the intentional pouring of water through a sieve?" Notes from the Underground by Feodor Dostoevsky

Rebecca MacKinnon had a tremendous idea at Bloggercon III, Bloggercorps, now it is live, do see what you can do to help.

ecozen - animals ecology philanthropy

Bloggercorps is simple. It's a blog.

No office. No admin. No fund-raising. No funds. No staff. No meetings.

It will evolve organically based on the needs of the people who wind up using it.

For starters, here's the plan:

- The authors (a wide-ranging group comprised mainly of bloggers, activists, and tech organizations who work with non-profits) will post announcements on behalf of organizations who need help starting blogs or building blogging communities.

- The posts will be categorized according to the organization's geographical location, and in some cases its main focus issue.

- Bloggers interested in helping that particular organization can express their interest in the comments section attached to that post.

- The organization will then decide which of the volunteers it wants to follow up with.

- All arrangements will be made directly between organizations and bloggers. Bloggercorps will not mediate.

- We are not raising money to put people on planes so in most cases the idea is to match organizations located in a particular place with bloggers living in the same place.

- If situations arise in which organizations cannot find volunteers living in their area, we may be able to point them to foundations or philanthropic organizations who might be in a position to help fund travel for blogger-volunteers. But we won't do your fundraising work for you.

- Bloggercorps is non-partisan.

Check it out.

London internet woes

I found this interesting photo on flickr, the story about a trip to London is even more so.

From Andy Ihnatko's Blog
The plummeting value of the dollar has been a Waterloo on many fronts. Do I use the hotel's in-room broadband connection? At...um...eighteen pounds per day? Which works out to about thirty-six bucks? Gosh. Well, how about I just make a dialup connection, just to grab my mail? Let's check the little card tethered to the phone: local calls are billed at holy mother of God 59 pence. Per minute. Or, about a buck twenty per....read more it is very revealing.

Marc on Marqui

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

November 15, 2004 Source: Vancouver Sun
Local firm launches cash-for-comment plan: Marqui has stunned the online
world by paying bloggers to mention its products Full Story

Marc Canter "OK - so the name of the company which will be paying bloggers to blog is Marqui.

They're helping to create a new category of services - which combines email campaigning, CMS, marketing communications and... a little bit of work flow. It's sort of like lite-weight CMS meets tools servers in the valley of the small enterprise.

I'm sure Doc will love it - as it's very DIY IT-like.

They call it "Communication Management Systems" and it actually works. It's actually pretty cool.

Anyway - so I was sitting there one day in August when they asked "how can we get into the blogosphere."

At that point I had heard that request like a 1,000 times. So I looked around the room and said "what the hell, let me give it a shot".

What was the most outrageous idea I could throw at them?
"Pay Bloggers to Blog"

and they went for it!

Program will start next week.

Oh yah - let me say this for the first time = "I'm getting paid to blog about Marqui."

And God Bless Jason Calacanis. May be sell banner ads till the cows come home. It's just that I'm so sick and tired of dam banner ads".

We the Media : Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People
We the Media : Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People
By Dan Gillmor

Grassroots journalists are dismantling Big Media's monopoly on the news, transforming it from a lecture to a conversation. Not content to accept the news as reported, these readers-turned-reporters are publishing in real time to a worldwide audience via the Internet. The impact of their work is just beginning to be felt by professional journalists and the newsmakers they cover.

In We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People, nationally known business and technology columnist Dan Gillmor tells the story of this emerging phenomenon, and sheds light on this deep shift in how we make and consume the news.
