Change The World WordPress Plugin

Challenges Entered: 

A WordPress plugin similar to Hello, Dolly but with lyrics from I'd Love To Change The World by Ten Years After. It also has a Twitter icon that, when clicked, returns an ATOM feed from a search query "change+the+world" via Twitter's API.

Not really addressing any problems, just thought anybody using WordPress during this project might like these lyrics in their Dashboard instead of Hello Dolly.

No
Project goals: 
I was really surprised when Joe Solomon actually commented on my blog about it saying, " Hey Dave! Neat plugin! Glad the Change the Web Challenge inspired you! If you remix some ways to take action into it via Social Actions - then you'll have a bonafied and super fun submission! For example, you could add a feed of actions with the phrase "change the world" - http://search.socialactions.com/actions?q=%22Change+The+World%22&created=all&commit=Search It would also be our first musical submission - which would rock! (no pun intended) Best, Joe Joe Solomon Director, Social Actions' Change the Web Challenge"

Hi Dave,

Quick note to acknowledge your creative submission to the Change the Web Challenge. You'd be good to go as long as you ensure that the plugin draws on the Social Actions API in some way. Even if the plugin just presented the latest opportunities to make a difference indexed by Social Actions, you'd be good to go. Keep on pluggin on that pluggin. For additional feedback, I'd recommend you hop into our Social Actions Developers Google group, which is emerging as the go to place for feedback on the apps and cross-pollination of exciting ideas.

All the best,
Peter
