Net Tuesdays or Net2 Local gatherings provide a chance to connect locally with all those interested in the intersection of social technologies and social change. There are new groups forming every week: Join in!
You all post on the blogs with generosity. You share your ideas and help others with theirs. And when we ask you to vote on the projects, you step up an do it thoughtfully.
And we know that people who are working to make the world a better place are working from a place of passion. They all -- you all -- see the need and you are still getting up every morning and trying to make change. And that makes for a creative energy that sparks innovation. Innovation happens, not in spite of constraints, but because of them. And it's innovation that can really work.
And that help includes money, attention, and a lots of hands-on help. If you get that help, you'll share what it made better. The ways in which moved you forward or the ways in which you are still stuck.
Some of those people are funders who are will to help support your efforts with grants. Some of them are people who design products and projects for a living and are eager to share their expertise so smooth out your path. Business people, marketing gurus, and programmers are all just as eager.
More tomorrow.
