Well... we didn't win the Webby. And while it was an honour to make it as far as we did (being nominated with the likes of Facebook, Ning, Flock and Bebo was astounding) we are just plain thrilled that we came in second place beside online social network powerhouse Facebook. Thank you to all who voted and helped to spread the word. And congratulations to all of you who make up our little community of changemakers. You truly do change the world each and every day.

I read this story over and over again and still cannot quite wrap my head around the fact that a man was beaten to death for blogging about a protest he witnessed.

I am excited and proud to announce that ChangeEverything launched the ChangeSomething contest this week. It is such a fun twist on a traditional contest. Basically we have $1000 that we want to see go to a great community initiative. Where you come in: you log on to ChangeEverything.ca and blog about what org you want to see the money go to.

I never quite know what to do with this kind of information about our home. It makes me wonder, if it could talk, would it say, "I'm meeeeelting....." (planet Earth, that is)
I was delighted to come across Big Picture TV a website that streams free video clips of leading experts, thinkers and activists in environmental and social sustainability. They offer a general audience analysis and commentary from a growing number of world leaders including scientists, journalists, economists, businessmen, designers and politicians. Very progressive. “Big Picture TV cuts out the middle man and lets the student of world events connect direct to the movers, thinkers and shakers. A not-to-be-missed site!” -Jon Snow Channel Four news presenter, UK
