Blog Action Day: October 15

I like the simplicity of this initiative: mobilize as many bloggers as possible to write about the same topic on the same day. The environment is the chosen issue, and the organizers do not try to push a specific environmental agenda. Thus they avoid the controversy that would come with an activist approach, but might instead achieve more in terms of attention and awareness. Is this one of the ways to organize a global public sphere? Good luck!

    For en herlig ide. Visjonært, idealistisk og enkelt. Blir spennende å se om man klarer å få til en slik mobilisering gjennom sosiale medier. Fører videoen videre i mine blogger for å spre budskapet.

    Ja, jeg er ganske begeistret for dette, jeg også. Hvordan informasjonen om det spres, er også en studie verdt. Jeg fant det på et nettsted for virale videoer. Såvidt jeg har kunnet se, har det vært lite mediedekning så langt.

    Álvaro: thanks, but my ISP has disabled the trackback function because of too much spam load.
