All For Good - 2

Just a little more background about this new venture -

The spirit behind it all can be described in President Obama's phrase. He has spoken about the nation's challenges in troubled times, saying that "the American people are not the problem - they are the answer." There will soon be a national call for volunteerism. All For Good is already being set up to help all of us meet that call.

All For Good was begun by Craig Newmark of the Craigslist Foundation. The people behind it are also from Google, Adobe, YouTube, Causecast, etc. It will offer to us all the opportunity to use the modern technology of the web to volunteer whatever talents we may have to help one another and our communities.

The idea is nothing new. The method is. The plan is in its infancy. Let's help it to grow.

All For Good

Once again, the Huffington Post has given me something to think about. Today it told me about All For Good, which it describes as a sort of Craig's List for Service.
It's something brand new, and it will help YOU find a way to be of service to your community. Most of us are having some hard times just now. We can help one another.

Why not get in on the ground floor? This sounds really useful. At least check it out and see what it's all about. There is a blog. Go to: http://www.allforgood.org/

I'm sure I'll have more to say about this later, but for now, take a look and see what you think.
