Blog Action Day: Oct 15, 2007

Hi Lisa,

It was a pleasure to meet you as well.

About Blog Action Day, I'll be happy to share my experiences. Since my blog posts are hosted on ZDNet ( http://blogs.zdnet.com/ecommunity ), I have the advantage of reaching a large audience. It will be interesting to see the number of hits and comments that it generates. (A listing and short intro of my posts appear at my blog site ( http://www.grey-consulting.com/blog ) also.)

The best way to keep current on the project is to subscribe ( http://blog.blogactionday.org/ ) to the Blog Action Day blog.

I've cast my vote in the MicroPoll. Each topic is worthy of support. If you haven't voted, take a moment to do so now ( http://micropoll.questionpro.com/akira/MicroPoll?m... ).

Maurene, it was such a pleasure to meet you at BlogHer '07! Thank you for all the live-blogging you did in Chicago.

I agree with you that Blog Action Day is an excellent example for BlogHers Act (for anyone new to the site, here's the latest post ( http://www.blogher.com/vote-which-global-health-is... ). I also out my favorite choice on my recent newsletter ( http://www.blogher.com/vote-pick-global-health-iss... )). Idea: Would you be willing to report back on BlogHer on your take on Blog Action Day as a participant? By that I mean, how Blog Action Day worked for you, how much of a difference you felt you made, what was great about it, what could be even greater. The benefit of having a year is that we can use numerous tactics to tackle our cause.

Which leads me (you knew I would go here, right? :) to the current hot-ticket for BlogHers Act: Voting for our cause. The umbrella issue is Global Health, a vast tract of urgent issues. Emily McKhann and Cooper Munroe have boiled the possible issues down to this

Would love to know your thoughts -- Maurene and everyone...
