Me and Aloshi (Aloysius - Author of 'i blog - everything') are friends and share our blogging thoughts. It was he who brought my attention to the concept of Blog Action Day and he was already participating in the event. When he told me about the event, I was glad to follow.
What is Blog Action Day?
Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s blogger's to post about the same issue on the same day. The aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion. This year, the event will be held tomorrow (15th Oct 2008).
Each blogger brings their own perspective and ideas to their blog post, and each blogger engages their audience differently.
First and last, the purpose of Blog Action Day is to create a discussion. Blogger's are asked to take a single day out of their schedule and focus it on an important issue.
On Blog Action Day, the blogging community effectively changes the conversation on the web and focuses audiences around the globe on that issue. Out of this discussion naturally flow actions, advice, ideas and plans.
In 2007 on the theme of the Environment, blogger's ran environmental experiments, detailed innovative ideas on creating sustainable practices and brought attention to organizations and companies promoting green agendas.
This year, it aims at focusing the blogging community’s energies and passions on the issue of global poverty.
Blog Action Day is about mass participation and anyone is free to join in! There is no limit on the number of posts, the type of posts or the direction of thoughts and opinions.
I am in. Are you?
