DemoBlog: Another Project Done
http://internationaldemoblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/another-project-done.html
Friday, February 09, 2007. The Gates research project officially ended at the end of January. My project manager, Ricken, submitted it to the Gates Foundation last week and now I am just waiting for official permission to distribute the final report to the people I interviewed during the research process. Hopefully, the report will become public domain, in which case I will also post it on my website. In Washington in April. That should be fun. This weekend Paolo and I are visiting friends in Santa Cruz.

Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Gates Project 24: Final Edits. I've received a couple of queries as to where in the work process we are. In answer to those questions, we are in the finishing-it-up-an-turning-it-in phase. We will be submitting the report to the Gates Foundation at the end of this month.

DemoBlog: Dear SaveDarfur.org: Let's Link
http://internationaldemoblog.blogspot.com/2007/01/dear-savedarfurorg-lets-link_05.html
Friday, January 05, 2007. Dear SaveDarfur.org: Let's Link. Dear SaveDarfur.org,. I am a member of Save Darfur. And I am frustrated that few Americans are concerned about the crisis there. I think this is principally due to ignorance. To Americans, Darfur is a buzzword, a distant sound bite, an iconic tragedy, that is not fully real. How can you understand the lives of a group of people if you only see them for 30 seconds a day serving as a backdrop for a news anchor's "special report"? Bill and Melinda G...

DemoBlog: April 2007
http://internationaldemoblog.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2007. DemoBlog and I have had a good run. Well, not really, I hardly ever wrote here. Which is why I am beginning a new blog - ZapBoom. And abandoning dear old DemoBlog forever. ZapBoom will have a more natural style, though it will talk about the same political/technological concerns. My goal is to write a post every day, so you might even have a reason to come by and check it out at http:/ zapboom.bligoo.com/. Posted by DemoBlogger : 6:31 AM 6 comments.

http://internationaldemoblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/think-digg-how-ngos-can-read-their_22.html
Thursday, February 22, 2007. Think Digg: How NGOs Can Read Their Members' Minds. There are many NGOs that ask their members to take part in lobbying campaigns. Greenpeace. Asks its members to lobby governments around the world on behalf of environmental causes, while Amnesty. Asks them to lobby on behalf of human rights. Moveon. Asks its members to lobby Congress on behalf of progressive causes in the US. But how do these organizations decide which issues to create campaigns around? The tool is Digg.

DemoBlog: May 2006

Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Publicizing the Free Alaa Blueprint. Free Alaa is still going, though slower. The number of people to visit the blog every day has dropped from a high point of 700 in the first few days to about 100, which I suppose is normal as people get distracted by other causes. We're building a house, but unless we make our blueprint public, we'll be the only kids in the neighborhood. Categories: google-bombing for alaa , cool tools.

DemoBlog: June 2006
http://internationaldemoblog.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 24, 2006. Alaa was freed on Thursday! Read the details here. This is wonderful news. My question: what effect did our online activism have? If they did have an effect how have we spread our knowledge to other activists can mount similar campaigns? Posted by DemoBlogger : 1:55 PM 0 comments. Saturday, June 03, 2006. Jon Garfunkel at Civilities. This is great when you only have one or two campaigns, but what if you have 300? In his blog that the googlebomb for Alaa.
