I was fortunate to spend the past week on a guest-couch belonging to Ben Rattray, founder of Change.org. At present, Change is trying to figure out what to do with all of that "now what?" energy that is surrounding post-election excitement. Also - you might have heard of this little site called Change.gov, right?

A few brief notes to start (or "old business" for all of you Robert's Rules fetishists):

Change.org Relaunches: what can you do?

amysampleward — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:00:37 -0400

Change.org has just relaunched its website - an online hub and media network for social issues and collective action.

The new version of the site focuses on the question: what can I do? "If I want to end homelessness, what can I do? If I support gay rights, what can I do?"

The Answer

In Josh Levy's words (Josh is the new Managing Editor):

Social Networking + Online Giving = Change.org and Network for Good Collaboration

Britt Bravo — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 19:34:30 -0500

Last month, Change.org launched a new service to allow nonprofits to create their own branded social networks on its platform. This month they've teamed up with Network for Good. The partnership will allow nonprofits that receive donations through Network for Good to create a branded social network on Change.org, and nonprofits that receive donations through Change.org to use Network for Good’s giving system to track donations, email supporters, and manage donor data.

Nice teamwork!
