I am excited to be at the NetSquared conference alongside several other non-profits actively using virtual worlds in their work. Global Kids ( http://olp.globalkids.org ) have a number of interesting virtual world and transmedia projects that I look forward to presenting to folks on Wednesday, along with my colleagues. And I can't want to hear about the other mash-up projects being proposed by others and meet other non-profit and tech industry folks interested in the social media space.
Now it's after midnight and I should get some rest before tomorrow's activities begin.
This is a really great exercise in community submission, evaluation and feedback of social good projects. I hope that everyone who participates, whether they "win" or not, learns something valuable from the experience.
I personally am having a hard time picking favorites amongst the many, many worthwhile projects and causes. Often the most deserving causes have poorly articulated projects, or the worthiest tech projects seem focused on issues that are not as close to my heart.
