Build - The tools to make the change
Featured Contributions
Yahoo! Green Award
Last year, NetSquared Featured Project, FamilyFarmed.org received the Yahoo! Green Award for its potential to use Web 2.0 tools to benefit the environment by connecting everyday consumers with their local farmers.
This year, Yahoo! is looking for innovative “green mashups” that will inspire people to use social technology to help the environment.
Yahoo! will review the project submissions included in the “Environment” Cause Area of the NetSquared Project Gallery. Using Yahoo! APIs is a plus, but not necessary. The most innovative green mashup will receive a $5,000 Yahoo! Search Marketing award.
