I must admit, when Daniel Ben-Horin asked me to be an advocate I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into. Having the chance to participate in this event, however, is pretty exciting.

I've started with two projects: one that's using MySpace to connect non-profits and help them network and use MySpace successfully, and one that hopes to use Creative Commons licenses and an open market to change the way music, writing and art is distributed and valued.

I've commented on each of the projects:

Take a look when you have a chance -- both are taking advantage of the participatory culture of the web to initiate change. The MySpace project may have a greater chance of success, largely due to its ability to self-sustain with just a little more critical mass. I'd be interested in discussing what the next level of action might be. Now that all these organizations are aggregated, how will they work together to affect a higher level change?
