A stellar flickr
I stumbled upon what I think is a brilliant use of Flickr. Fabrice Florin, who now leads NewsTrust, took these pictures of people who attended Burning Man 2006. They each held up a board on which they wrote their wishes for the future. I’m going to pinch this idea for our next Idealist.org Silicon Valley event. I think it’s a neat way to keep a snapshot of each member’s mug and dreams.
Warning: Some of these pics are R-rated, or at least PG-13. Disclosure: I’ve volunteered for NewsTrust since 12/06, and was appointed its Community Organizer last week.

NetSquared I Want Change Group
NetSquared did a similar thing a while back with an I Want Change Flickr Group.

What creative twist could your group put in this meme?
I was just going to mention the netsquared "I want change" group.
NTEN also did during its summer tour this year:

And, there was a protest against Target using that technique (holding signs) although not on flickr

This is a great meme - the sign - what creative twist could your group do with this technique and support your cause/work?
I'm thinking of the March of Dimes - flickr contest - that asked people to photograph where they kept their change because a handful of change is what preemie weighs at birth.
