Shaping Youth did a piece on the ‘whack a murdoch’/stop big media viral game too…along with embedding links to ‘both sides’ of the digital debate. You might like that one too! Here ’tis: http://www.shapingyouth.org/blog/?p=964

Thrilled to hear of positive uses for social media like this…so when you find more, keep ‘em comin’, I’m VERY interested in similar pursuits!

In fact, here’s a cool philanthropy/social media site that just linked to me on Facebook, called “Heart of Gold Girls” dot com —I DO thing we can spin off of media in positive ways where “fandom” and open source ‘pay it forward’ style can create change agents ‘on a shoestring’…

Mobilization and media go hand in hand! Here’s to all things positive! Keep up the great work!
