I Totally Called It

Definitely called it.  Great end to my summer of Human Development and Food Microbiology.

Social Media for a Cause

In Hunger on August 3, 2010 at 11:52 am

Here’s a great collaboration between social media and a worthy cause.  The UN’s Food and Agriculture Administration has created an online petition for governments to deal with the problem of world hunger; when you sign the petition, you are given a username and unique link that forwards to your page of the petition.  From that page you can track everyone who signs the petition under your name.  Pretty neat, huh?  What an excellent way to use the connectivity of social media and really empower people to get involved.  How can you harness the power of social media to get your message out there?

Sign the petition on my page at One Billion Hungry.
