I ran out of handouts yesterday during my talk about do good blogging at the Writing for Change Conference, and said I'd post the handout up here today. It's just a sampler of do good bloggers (please don't be sad if I didn't include you, it's a sampler), links to blog search engines, links to blog feed readers, and links to blog software platforms.A Sampling of Do Good Blogs

There are so many blogs out there trying to make a difference - it's difficult finding ones that actually pertain to your particular needs. You know, things the average person can do and actually make a difference.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't want to know about what such and such company is doing unless I can join them or help out in some way - if even only to promote them so they can get the funding they need. Most bloggers don't realize this though, and they just post anything and everything, without really assessing the value of that information to the end reader.
The list you posted however, is an excellent selection =)
