I’m not leaving nonprofit technology, though, just this particular role – I expect to stay involved, keep connected, keep prodding and poking, and keep learning.

Marnie Webb and Charlene Li: Two of My Social Media Role Models. I’ve been following Charlene Li’s work since I heard her keynote at the BlogHer 2005 conference.

But I do think women in the developed world – women with access to power and resources – have a particularly important role to play, a more critical role than we think. I think the world will be saved by all of us – with everyone playing a part.
She also has the definitive list of Cambodian BlogHers here. He was a participant in the small group role play on social media and we had great fun. Details Are Sketchy is an anonymous blogger who writes about life in Cambodia. Her short, pithy, and witty posts are not only fun to read, but also very informative.

Hats off to Lisa, Jory, and Elisa (as well as to my fellow BlogHer CE editors) for posting such brilliant thoughts about this topic. Marianne Richmond over at Blogher, comments Online and off, we seem to have lowered our standards of civility. Looks other nptech bloggers and social networks are supporting this effort too!
When I trace back the main themes in my life and within my career, I see that I have always found way to step into the role of witness, whether formally or improvised. This is how I provide service, and it energizes me in huge and profound ways. It’s what I love most. It’s also what I do best.
These blogs - many of which launched in the past year, although a few are older - have become places where people of color gather to refine ideas or form thoughts about race relations, racial inequities, and the role pop culture has in exacerbating stereotypes.

One could make an argument that both have their own roles into the future, and that we’ll be spending a lot of time learning which works best in a given situation. I think it was 2006 when the entire room of 1400 bloggers burst into spontaneous singing of this song at BlogHer. Neither has yet proven to be wholly better than the other.
She brings these two passions together in her current roles at Caritas Christi Health Care in Boston and the Business Continuity Planning Workgroup for Healthcare Organizations (BCPWHO). Should there ever be a disaster (god forbid), how could a blogging network like BlogHer be of assistance? In 2005 I lost my home to a fire.
Going to NYC with the hubs to see friends, family, and to go to the BlogHer Conference. Seeing my grandma's smile when we took her to an animal shelter to meet cats.
