WEB 2.0 ACTIVISM - From September 11th to the 21st, a synchronized blogging marathon will be held to celebrate the International Day of Peace. Other events include podcasting, activism on social networks and other Web 2.0 sites, social experiments in Second Life, etc. An overview of these events is published on http://www.mypacis.com/
Bloggers are invited to inform their readers that they are taking part in a ten days marathon to celebrate the International Day of Peace, discuss peace and current world affairs from their own prospective and invite readers to continue the discussion in the comment area, plus track backs and posts in their blogs. Bloggers are also invited to review and link to two-five posts published on other participating blogs, creating a fluid hyper textual discussion about peace.
Other events will engage podcasters in a discussion about world peace. Users of Web 2.0 services such as MySpace.com, Orkut and Facebook are invited to display the peace dove in their profiles, such as the one which can be saved from http://www.mypacis.com/
Some projects will be available on a permanent base. This includes an open source, integrated and multi-lingual social network promoting peace by linking people (http://www.mypacis.com/)
"There are thousands of projects online which can contribute to a more peaceful world and a better society in general" says Frank, MyPacis.com founder. "We do not want to reinvent the wheel, but to contribute with all our resources to celebrate the International Day of Peace and foster a continuous discussion about peace, human rights and democracy. For this reason, we offer several Web 2.0 tools and provide assistance in co-ordinating events, such as this ten days peace blogging marathon. We hope our work will bring concrete results, and to receive feedback from users of Web 2.0 services, internet social networks, Second Life and internet in general".
