Blog for a good cause.

So far, 137 bloggers have signed up to take part to Project Blog, a charity event requiring participants to donate their time while sponsors donate to the favourite charity of the blogger.

On July 24th, bloggers from around the world will be updating their own blog every 30 minutes for 24 hours all in the name of each blogger's favorite charity.

The project follows the path of the Blogathon, founded in 2001 but cancelled this year.

Last year, Roland wrote about the Blogathon: Bloggers plan round-the-clock charity drive.

Dan Gillmor vs. Trolls.

Dan Gillmor has a troll problem on his blog, to which he's seeking a solution. Good luck.

If there's anything my years of netnews/mailing-list/blog participation have taught me, it's that good discussion is a hard problem. Many people seem to underestimate just how hard it is. Here we have an A-lister who is devoting two front-page posts so far to the baneful effects of (fairly mild, comparatively) trolls. Question: What Does This Mean For Democracy?

 . . .
