My organization, IFYC has been working for a long time to develop ways that we can engage youth via social media.

With the development of a Ning Site, the Bridge-Buidlers Network, i think we've finally got it!

In looking at the first moments of being an official part of the wikipedia community (in that i now have an actual account on wikipedia's site) i am left with a feeling of false excitement... ready to create articles about all the subjects/people/etc i can't wait to see on wikipedia, i am left with the huge burden of worrying about being sued, or boo'ed, while i read the huge guideline section.

This is my first post to this site, though i have looked it over many times this past year. the organization i work for, the interfaith youth core, envisions the value of religious pluralism spreading out to the far stretches of the nation and the world, and all i can do is internally combust at all the opportunity there is to make that happen, with the increasingly developing advent of social media....and no one capable on our staff to really get it going..

how exciting it was to me that we are finally going towards that stage by looking for that person to take our vision, meld it with the wonders of web 2.0 and such, and see the ripples of change towards a global interfaith youth movement:
