e-activists’ petitions
e-activists.org has released a beta of its excellent new “Petitions” feature. Could potentially be useful once its finished, if you want to run petitions on your site but don’t feel like building the functionality from scratch.
Check out the full set of services offered by e-activists and support their efforts in humanitarian and fundraising work, this is definitely a great initiative that we expect to take off in the near future.
To add the petitions functionality, just include the following script on your website or blog:
Right now, you will be given the latest petition at e-activists:
However, it will truly be useful when you can create & manage your own petitions… and apparently this feature is coming in the near future.
BC$ = Behavior, Content, Money
The goal of the BC$ project is to raise awareness and make changes with respect to the three pillars of information freedom - Behavior (pursuit of interests and passions), Content (sharing/exchanging ideas in various formats), Money (fairness and accessibility) - bringing to light the fact that:
1. We regularly hand over our browser histories, search histories and daily online activities to companies that want our money, or, to benefit from our use of their services with lucrative ad deals or sales of personal information.
2. We create and/or consume interesting content on their services, but we aren't adequately rewarded for our creative efforts or loyalty.
3. We pay money to be connected online (and possibly also over mobile), yet we lose both time and money by allowing companies to market to us with unsolicited advertisements, irrelevant product offers and unfairly structured service pricing plans.
