Did you know that today is Blog Action Day? Yes, October 15th is the day when thousands of bloggers will be writing posts about environmental issues, with the aim of bringing them to the world's attention. It's interesting that the event should fall on the day before the Mersey Basin Campaign sets off for London to speak at an event called Web 2.0 - The What? The Why? The How? We'll be speaking to third sector communications folk about our recent experiences with blogging, podcasting, facebook and myspace etc - and hopefully meeting some other environmental organisations who are venturing into the same areas as we are. Over the year we've encountered lots of interesting blogs - for example Save the Ribble - a great example of how a blog can be used to focus attention on an environmental issue, but in our area, we still don't see a lot of environmental blogging at organisational level - we'd love a few new blogs to link up with, alongside our neighbours, Groundwork Northwest. In fact, I'm off to check out the Blog Action Day site to see if there's anyone we can link up with.....
