Lightweight tools, user interfaces, and development models will help streamline productivity and focus resources; new business models will emerge out of the environment of change. Transparency and openness will help avoid disasters and extend our influence, as we learn to trust users as co-developers. Marketers can’t afford to ignore the value of social media, communities, and a new set of analytics. On an individual, team, company, and global level, this is the year we will choose to work on what matters.” In the spirit of The Power of Less, we’ve got passes to give away: These are Conference Plus Workshops passes that get you into EVERYTHING.

They’re challenging the blogosphere to compete to see who can rally the most support for public schools. Across the blogosphere, bloggers are creating giving pages that list specific classroom requests in public schools--and then encouraging their readers to donate to those classroom requests. Technorati is sponsoring the "generosity rankings" – which also means that at the end of the challenge we’ll be broadcasting the results showing which bloggers drove the most generosity. You can see the current giving contest <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/motherboard.html?motherboardId=1/"> here</a>. During the last DonorsChoose.org Blogger Challenge, blog readers donated $420,000 toward classroom projects benefitting 75,000 students in low-income communities. This year, the need is even more urgent: the rough road ahead for the US economy means an even rougher road for public schools. With your participation, you and your readers can help thousands of public school kids. It’s easy: HOW YOUR BLOG CAN HELP 1. Pick a few classroom requests posted on DonorsChoose.org and add them to a challenge page which takes 1-2 minutes to set up. 2. Do a post on October 1 encouraging your readers to donate to any of the classroom requests on each of your challenge page. Your readers can give as little as $5. 3. Publish a <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://www.donorschoose.org/bloggers">widget</a> which pulls in the classroom requests you have selected and shouts out the readers who have donated to those requests. Simply select the category to which your blog belongs to grab the appropriate widget. If you have additional questions or need help getting started, feel free to contact DonorsChoose.org directly at bloggers@DonorsChoose.org. BACKGROUND ON THE CHARITY DonorsChoose.org grew out of a high school in the Bronx where teachers saw their students going without the materials needed to learn. Our website provides an easy way for everyday people to address this problem. Public school teachers post project requests that range from a $100 classroom library, to a $600 digital projector, to a $1,000 trip to the zoo. People like you can choose which projects to fund and then get photos and thank-you letters from the classroom. BACKGROUND ON THE 2008 DONORSCHOOSE.ORG BLOGGER CHALLENGE In October of 2007, bloggers competed to see who could rally the most support for public schools via DonorsChoose.org. Blog readers gave $420,000 to classroom projects benefitting 75,000 students in low-income communities. While A-list bloggers like Engadget and TechCrunch inspired great generosity, smaller blogs with really engaged readers generated even more! In fact, it was a personal blog from Brooklyn, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://tomatonation.com/">TomatoNation</a> who brought in a whopping $100,000.

The folks at one.org and Live 8 believe that bloggers can help to shape the media and bring a new voice and perspective - and help to set the agenda - before the G8 conference in Scotland. BTW, check out their <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://one.org/blog">new blog</a>. In addition, Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines has donated his airplane to fly the Live 8 crew from New York to Edinburgh and back, and up to five bloggers will be given the opportunity to fly to Edinburgh and back with the Live 8 group. The idea is to blog the trip, including the beginning of the G8 summit. The flight departs from JFK in New York at 7 p.m. on July 3; the same airplane will bring the bloggers and whoever else back to New York on July 7. Lodging in or near Edinburgh will also be provided. So, here's what's up: This is a call to bloggers to give all of you the opportunity to get one of these backstage passes, and possibly on the flight to Edinburgh. Think of all the cool stuff you can do - set up a podcast and interview the bands, make a great photoblog, videoblog it, heck maybe you can end up playing air guitar in front of millions, who knows? Seriously, the goal of this is also to get millions of bloggers posting about <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://live8.technorati.com/">Live 8</a> - the fact is that there are 30,000 children dying in Africa every day - no one is reporting on it, and we aren't doing anything about it. So one of the goals is to help set the agenda of the mainstream media, and this represents a moment of pregnant possibility - for bloggers to create proactive change, not just reactive change based on other news events. It is our opportunity to help to shape the news conversation for the good of us all. And for our leaders to hear the voices of millions when they sit down at the G8 meeting. So, here's what you need to do: <ol> <li>Go to <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://one.org/">one.org</a> and <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://www.sun.com/one">watch the video</a> and <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://www.one.org/ActionSignup.aspx">sign the declaration</a>. Get up to speed on what Live8 is all about.</li> <li>Go to <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://live8.technorati.com/">live8.technorati.com</a> and put one of the badges on your blog. It is pretty easy to do, you just need to add the code <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://live8.technorati.com/about/badge.html">on the badge page</a> to your weblog template.</li> <li>Go and read the posts about Live8 on <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://www.joetrippi.com/">Joe Trippi's blog</a> and on <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://www.powerlineblog.com/">Powerline</a> - this is a nonpartisan effort.</li> <li>Pick the show that's nearest to you - and send an email to <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/mailto:david-blog@sifry.com">me</a>, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/mailto:Joe@joetrippi.com">Joe</a>, and to <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/mailto:feedback@powerlineblog.com">John</a> with the following information:<ul> <li>Your name and age</li> <li>Your blog name and URL</li> <li>Which show you want to go to (please only pick one show), and</li> <li>Your snail mail address (so we know where to send the show packets)</li> <li>Go and blog about Live 8, and tag your posts with the Live 8 tag (instructions on how to do this are here). You've got to put the badge up on your blog and have posted at least once about Live 8 with the tag to get selected.</li> <li>Keep an eye on your mailbox. Given the incredible time crunch, we'll let you know what's up no later than Thursday June 30th.</li></ul> <li>Tell all your friends. The goal here is to get 100,000 blog posts out before the G8 summit, and to get as many people out there blogging about Live 8, third world debt relief, the plight of the hungry and poor everywhere and what we can do about it.</li> </li></ol> There may be additional credentials that we can get from the Live 8 people, and Joe, John, and I are going to work our butts off to get credentials for the other shows as well, including Toronto and the shows in Great Britain. More to come. In the meantime, please go out and listen, read, and blog - together perhaps we can help to shift the conversation, and influence country policies to help to make poverty history. </div> </div> <div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"> <span class="post-footers">Posted at 08:20 AM in <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://blog.technorati.com/events/">Events</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://blog.technorati.com/2005/06/become-one-of-50-bloggers-to-go-backstage-at-live-8.html">Permalink</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://blog.technorati.com/2005/06/become-one-of-50-bloggers-to-go-backstage-at-live-8.html#trackback">TrackBack (0)</a> </p>   </div> </div> <h2 class="date-header">06/22/2005</h2> <div class="entry-category-events entry-category-technorati_news entry-author-jennifer_mclean entry-type-post entry" id="entry-6a0111685695c8970c0120a5da1908970c"> <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://blog.technorati.com/2005/06/updated-technorati-is-throwing-a-party.html">Updated: Technorati is throwing a Party</a></h3> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <strong>Update:</strong> It was a great time!

Technorati is throwing a party tomorrow night (Wednesday June 22) and you are invited! We'll toast the amazing growth of the blogopshere (doubling every five months!), the amazing support we've received from the world of bloggers, and all of the new developments at Technorati. We have a brand new <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://www.technorati.com/" title="Technorati">web site</a> and we've also been hard at work improving our search and the underlying technologies we use to power up Technorati. Also, we are now a global organization with the introduction of <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://www.technorati.jp/">Technorati Japan</a> (more international sites on the way). In thanks, we're inviting you and your friends to House of Shields tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. Technorati will provide some food, drinks are on your bill (hey we are a startup after all). All of the people who work at Technorati will be there, so come on down and tell us what you think. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://sanfrancisco.citysearch.com/profile/876213">House of Shields</a> is located at <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/http://maps.google.com/maps?q=39+New+Montgomery+Street,+San+Francisco,+CA">39 New Montgomery Street</a>, half a block from <abbr title="Bay Area Rapid Transit">BART</abbr> and directly across the street from the Palace Hotel. We hope you can join us for an evening of celebration in this historic San Francisco bar and lounge. You don't have to, but please RSVP by sending an e-mail to <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100218193354/mailto:rsvp@technorati.com?subject=House%20of%20Shields">rsvp@technorati.com</a> so we get a good headcount and plan accordingly.
