Did you know that Blog Action Day will be having a 12 hour Blog Talk Radio Talk-a-thon?
It’s happening on October 15th, 2008 (Blog Action Day) from 12:00pm (EST) to 12:00am (EST).
“Using Social Media For Nonprofits” Roundtable
One session that will be on the Blog Talk Radio Talkathon will be a “Using Social Media For Nonprofits” roundtable discussion.
The session will be live beginning at 5:00pm (EST) to 5:45pm (EST). We have some of the best bloggers, social media experts, and nonprofit experts included so it should be very interesting.
Who’s on the roundtable panel?
Host: Easton Ellsworth, U.S. Coordinator Blog Action Day,
Cohost: Vicky Hennegan
Panelists: Paul Chaney, Liz Strauss, Mark J. Carter, Beth Kanter.
Beth Kanter
Nonprofit Technology Trainer, Consultant, and Evaluator
Beth Kanter is a trainer, blogger, and consultant to nonprofits and individuals in effective use of social media. Her expertise is how to use new web tools (blogging, tagging, wikis, photo sharing, video blogging, screencasting, social networking sites, and virtual worlds, etc) to support nonprofit. She has worked on projects that include: training, curriculum development, research, and evaluation.She is an experienced coach to “digital immigrants” in the personal mastery of these tools.
She is a professional blogger and writes about the use of social media tools in the nonprofit sector for social change.
Liz Strauss
The founder of SOB (Successful and Outstanding Bloggers) list and the founder of SOBCon Conference, which is a biz school for bloggers.
Anyone who knows Liz personally knows what a giving person she is. Liz is constantly giving to others and views her friends and clients success as part of her success. Liz has two main mottos that envelop exactly who she is as a person and business woman, they are “be irresistable” and “you’re only a stranger once“.
Mark J. Carter
Over the last 7 years Carter has interviewed, worked with and/or been mentored by the best professional relationship builders.
Then Carter put everything into a duplicable, step by step system by taking the best of their strategies (and these people ranged from what you would call business “movers and shakers” to the “nice guys/girls”…the common thread: they all got (and get) results from their relationships).
In addition to networking Carter builds social media campaigns that not only create word of mouth marketing but also build relationships online and offline.
One of his current projects is serving as Director of Social Media for www.SavingTheWorld.net; an online community created by NY Times Bestselling Author Tim Sanders (just released his latest book, “Saving The World At Work“). The focus is creating change in your workplace and your community.

Blog Action Day Posts
Excerpt Imagine if:
- Your life purpose was getting clean water for your children to drink that day.
- Living with abundance meant having a plate of food and not just scraps.
- Manifesting your dreams included having a roof over your head.
What if you had nothing, and had to scrape by every day, worried about necessities like food and water and housing? Most people in extreme poverty do not have the luxury to think about a life purpose – other than how to stay alive. That is their purpose. Food, Water, Shelter.
For every Life Purpose Course you purchase from us today we’ll donate $25.00 to Heifer.org and buy some goats, chicken and water systems to support others.
Excerpt
So you want to help? Then tighten your belt
You’re going to do things that’s going to be heartfelt
Look inside yourself, ask what you will do
If you struggling and your country won’t help you
What do you do? How about where you’ll go?
How’s a stranger going to help? Just let him know
that “I don’t want to hand out, just a hand up
So I can contribute to life’s everloving cup”
I have desire and I want to leave my mark
In this world before my lights goes dark
What can I be? What can I contribute?
I could be a doctor, who can distribute
the cure for many diseases, for every season
Excerpt After all, as Winston Churchill eloquently put it, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
What will you give today?
Tell you what… I’ll donate $25 to Save the Children for every pledge of $10 or more from each of you out there. Just drop me a note in the comments with your pledge, and go here to make your donation.
If there are companies out there that would like to make a more substantial donation, I’ll be more than happy to recognize you for it in a follow-up post. Send me email with the details. Thanks for your time and attention.
In closing, thank you to everyone who participated in Blog Action Day! Bloggers Rock!

Hello.
I’m new there
Nice forum!
Hi people…
We see community organizations as major service providers and economic drivers rather than as recipients or distributors of charity, and coordinators of volunteers. Today they constitute what’s referred to as ‘the social economy.
great comment dude, I think you are right

During Christmas 2008 I traveled to London, England to be met by my wonderful girlfriend which I was waiting so long. Her beautiful name is Alviva and she is the great woman and wonderful kid, she is so keen and beautiful. Since I created her image on Online Dating Chat website and sent her a quick letter, everything in my existence seems so fascinating. We had been emailing and talking to each other on the phone during five months before we met in person. After 1 months of conversations we did finally see together, and fall in liaison with each other. I am extraordinarily indebted to England for wonderful honies they have. I like this country and I prefer her. I am a type of man that interesting (or was charmed) in a single lady at a time when I was searching for a serous relationship.
Today when Media and Internet are very in demand it gave us incredible services where you can do whatever you desire, but most consequential before everything are online dating services. Online Dating Chat is one of those useful sources that provided the most accesible service for easy and enjoyable communication to their clients.
It so happened that I and my beloved Alviva are married now. I am always indebted God and Online Dating Chat internet dating website for a accassion to meet such a wonderful girlfriend like Alviva. Today, my other and better period of my existence had begun. We both have set our mutual and crystal love. We don’t have enough expressions to represent our joy we are having now.
Since that date when http://WWW.ONLINEDATINGCHAT.NET had been established, every men’s and every girls’ dream is possible.
I found the best thing to my sister’s birthday… It’s really hard to find cool and still unique.
So today I saw this thing from ZTARLET on facebook where you can name a real star in the sky and have the certificate and a teddy bear sent to you and pay it by a single SMS. So awesome
I saw that Casey Fronczek is offering fishing trips now down in south Florida. Does anybody have any input on these trips or has anyone been on one of these trips before?
