Blog Action Day 2008 - a Dialogue on Poverty
by Katharina Scholtz
Blog Action Day 2008, happening on the 15th of October, is focusing on poverty. The most recent statistic I could find points out that 854 million people worldwide are undernourished (and that's from 2006). Getting engaged in a dialogue is really the least we can do.
The intiative encourages people to write about poverty, in a way that fits in with the theme of their blog, in order to get the conversation going and hopefully encourage awareness and solutions. For a more poetic introduction to what it's all about, check out the video below.

Last year the focus was on the environment, and you can see the post Janine did then here. TechCrunch and ReadWriteWeb (along with 15 other of the world's most popular blogs) have signed up to be involved this year. As the organisers pointed out, "that's only in the first few hours of the campaign". You can check out the website here and sign up to join the conversation.
