FORA.tv has posted videos from many of the sessions during this year's NetSquared Conference (N2Y3), and the project presentations from the 2007 NetSquared Conference (N2Y2).

You can watch them at fora.tv/partner/NetSquared

Social Actions Labs is where we'll be building applications this summer that combine 19 social change and fund raising platforms like Care2, Change.org, and Kiva.org -- and present their actionable opportunities in highly useful & innovative ways.

We just started a wiki and are inviting the community to contribute their ideas for web applications and mash ups!

Imagine a Wordpress add-on that recommends actions based on the content of the post.
Imagine a Firefox Extension that alerts you to relevant social actions as you browsed the web.
Imagine a widget that lists actions that have nearly reached their goal -- only a few extra signatures or donations needed.

We want your ideas for connecting people to social actions. We'll be building 3-5 web applications this summer -- and will be choosing the community's most rock star ideas to take to the next level.

Check out the Social Actions Labs Wiki to see the 20+ ideas so far contributed by Beth Kanter, Amy Sample Ward, Tom Watson, and others.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi all,

Finally sharing some thoughts on the NetSquared Conference which (hard to believe!) wrapped up just about a month ago.

First, some links:

Last week a team of volunteer live-bloggers, vloggers, and a "n2y3con" tag monitor created and collected blog posts and video from the NetSquared Conference (N2Y3). Below are links to the sessions the livebloggers posted on the NetSquared Blog, and to the videos the vloggers posted on NetSquared's blip.tv channel.

You can also see an aggregation of N2Y3 related content from the NetSquared site, and other sites on the NetSquared Conference News Page. If you don't see your blog posts, video, or other media from N2Y3, tag it "n2y3con" and post the URL in the comments of this post.

Net Tuesday Los Angeles organizer, Blair Golson of Participant Media, posted a great video of the NetSquared Mashup Challenge winners on his post, NetSquared Presents: The Sexiest Non-Profits Alive. Check it out.

Just finished a long and detailed blog post about the conference. Take a look: http://metromapper.blogspot.com/2008/06/your-mapper-netsquared-conference.html

 

Thanks for all the feedback! We're not hard at work again, after the conference, working with Dreamfish on the new platform. If you have any suggestions for functionalities you'd like to see on GoSomething, now's the time to speak up! Drop a line at info /at/ gosomething dot org and we'll get back to you right away.

 great recommendations all around, thanks for the feedback!

 

 

We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who attended the NetSquared conference and for NetSquared for making this whole thing possible. David, Ory, Juliana and myself are absolutely stunned and ecstatic about what this win will let us do.

More than the financial support, we were moved by the validation we got from the community through this prize. Sometimes you can think you're a little crazy, tilting at windmills on your way to changing the world, so this means a lot.

When moved to build Ushahidi earlier this year, I wrote:

The Knowmore team would really like to thank the attendees at this year's N2Y3 conference for their support of our project! Throughout the conference, we got some great feedback and were inspired by so many awesome projects and passionate contributors.  We are very excited about taking Knowmore to the next level and have a lot of ideas we'll be exploring in the coming weeks.
