Blog Action Day 2008: Amnesia, Google, Yahoo & World Vision Team Up Against Global Poverty

by amnesia on October 9, 2008

Blog Action Day 2008, Oct.15, is a chance for the digital community to unite against global poverty by creating loud messages of hope, outrage and solutions to this difficult global problem.

To inspire bloggers across the nation to participate, World Vision Australia is running a contest (here) to see who can write, draw, record and share the most compelling message about global poverty.

With the help of Amnesia, Yahoo!7 and Google, the grand prize winners of the WVA contest will be flown to Sydney for an exclusive digital training day with each of the above. It even includes an hour of time getting hands on with one of the only Microsoft Surface tables in Australia here at Amnesia.

So don’t be a passive observer.

It’s great to see a little activity in Australia. What a great line-up for the winner, too, three top guns ;) You chaps at Amnesia are certainly doing a lot of good stuff, I keep seeing your name pop up everywhere. http://twitter.com/collis Collis tweeted and I took another look. I’ve already registered my little blog for BA08.

Good work Amnesia, Google and Yahoo. Cheers!
