Using Social Media to Document EPIC
As community manager for happyfrog.ca, i often rally up a crews of bloggers, photographers and podcasters to create social media of green minded businesses, sustainability focused organizations and other stories which the mainstream media don't pick up.
Recently at the EPIC Sustainable Living Expo in Vancouver, we pulled off the biggest social media bonanza i know of with over 50 posts including audio, video, and narrative, plus a Flickr pool of hundreds of candid shots from the trade show floor.
Net Tuesday Vancouver Launches February 5th!
Net Tuesdays are springing up all over the place! The newest Net Tuesday will have its first meeting on February 5th at WorkSpace. Joe Solomon, who recently wrote about 5 Ways Free Online Petitions Can Be Improved on the NetSquared Blog, is the organizer.

Have Portal Must Engage
Freenets, community technology hubs - whatever!
Well that's been my impression, based on the sole experience of my local freenet the Vancouver Community Network, VCN. Don't get me wrong they're very ... utilitarian.
