taking it global
May 23rd, 2008http://profiles.takingitglobal.org/jpfrawg
So I signed up for this website, which is really a fantastic concept. To give credit to the design team, it’s actually a very polished, feature-robust site. However, I’m not really sure what to do with it. The goal, it seems to me, is to foster youth awareness about global issues, and promote collaboration. I don’t see a lot of action going on, but that may be because I’m an english speaker in the US, which seems to be a minority on the site. I’ll toy around with a bit, maybe start a couple of projects.
I also put up a twitter plugin, so the most neurotic of you can keep more detailed track of me. Sorry I haven’t been posting lately. Thanks for visiting regardless.
