Congratulations to the 24 Change the Web Finalists! How did the number of finalists grow to 24, you ask? Well, we had a heckuva tie!

Thank you to all those who participated in the Community Vote last week, selecting the Finalists in the Social Actions Change the Web Challenge.

Today is the last day to cast your ballot for your favorite projects!  The N2Y4 Mobile Challenge focuses on innovative mobile applications focused on social benefit.  The Social Actions' Change the Web Challenge showcases many different uses of the Social Actions API, aggregating social actions opportunities from across the Web.  You can view Projects and vote now by visiting the vote pages for N2Y4 Mobile Challenge or Change the Web Challenge.

Thanks for participating and helping select the Top Projects!

This week is your only chance to vote for the Projects you care about in the N2Y4 Mobile Challenge and the Change the Web Challenge. But, many of you are finding the voting process and platform hard to use. We hear your cries for help! We feel your pain and are actively trying to make things better for everyone. Here are some details - we'd love your feedback!

Take a quick survey (just 3 questions) to let us know your ideas!

At NetSquared, we empower the community to identify the Projects with the most potential for social impact through our online "voting" process.  This post provides you with everything you need to know to winnow the field of +100 Mobile Projects in the NetSquared Gallery to a small field of Projects who will pitch their work to funders, developers and technology advocates at this year's NetSquared Conference.  

To avoid a popularity contest, we ask all voters to vote for at least (3) and up to (5) of your favorite Projects.  Please use the guidelines below to get started.

In the middle of the Ecampaigning Forum, I'm trying to turn my notes about Monday's "pre-ECF" session on Social Actions and the Change The Web contest into a blog post. Peter Deitz presented his vision on making opportunities for social activism available on the web, and together with Janelle Ward, Thiago Carrapatoso, Romina Oliverio, George Irish, Amy Sample Ward and Jonathan Waddingham, we looked at 8 of the submitted application for the Change The Web contest (deadline for submissions is this Friday!). Here are my notes of the discussions we had.
