While I was in Chicago, Ryanne Hodson , who I met at last year's BlogHer, is in Cambodia and Southeast Asia with Jay Dedman to document the work of Project Hope International. So, while at BlogHer 07 I had a little bit of a personal learning mission: What can I learn about mobile video blogging in a global context?

The networking was fabulous - meeting many new bloggers in the Boston area as well as seeing long-time blogher buddies and of course, Jory, Lisa, and Elisa. BlogHer always inspires me and this one did not fail. It was better than eating chocolate!
Much of my connection has been facilitated by online technology so it was great to participate - finally - face-to-face. tools that facilitate this.

Another example of using a wiki to organize captured notes was Amy Gahran's wiki of all the blog posts and notes from the recent Blogher conference, compiled post-event and facilitated by the use a conference tag. Take for example these two nonprofit oriented conferences: Games for Change and Nonprofit Technology Conference.

Note the blink tag! I signed up.
The first photo of hers from Cambodia was this one of the four monks crossing the street titled Abbey Road. The term "extra organizational activist" comes from Alison Fine's book Momentum and I first heard it back in September 2006 when I read the book and reviewed it over at Blogher.
