in My Challenge to Andrew Baron on odd time signatures
Bu the larger point here - he is using his influence in social media or on the web as a whole and it's enough to garner cash...yes? So while operating in that space-why not consider other ways in which to use that influence?
Here is a community (I use that term loosely) that has JUMPED at attempting to buy his account. Why aren't they JUMPING to buy health care for women and children in nepal or jumping to provide birthing kits and doulas? In a fund raising effort LARGELY IGNORED by the tech/sm community?
Everyone is buzzing about the money involved in selling a twitter account and discussing community and followers. Seems awfully shallow as they ignore the money, community, and followers involved in the blogher initiative.

Wow, you rock. I blogged about how lame this was, but didn't even THINK to make the suggestion you're making. You will make at least one person think and do something different, I am sure. was just being snarky.

in My name is Dave and I'm a racist (Scripting News) on Scripting News
Sigh. The thing is, whites are everywhere and our voice is the norm for everything-so is the white on the panel really needed? I mean, American culture is white culture-
But for a second here let's agree that so long as we're all having this discussion and educating one another, we can make progress. Which is what I *think* your post boils down too.
And I think it's fair to say we're all prejudice. We all pre-judge. But I'm not sure I buy that we're all racist. That being said I can be very naive.

If you don't want to listen, turn away. But this is the United States of America, and we have a First Amendment goddamit, and everyone gets to say what they think. It doesn't say everybody but white people have a right to speak, FYI.
What has been the itch on my back today has been how much effort is put into 'social media', networking, whatever you want to call it, and yet the real definition of social gets lost in there somewhere.
If air is worth $1500, how much more value should be placed on the life of a man, woman or child? A Twitter account could be gone at the flash of a server or the whim of Twitter's owners itself. But that man or woman or child will still be hungry, or ill, or at risk for dying in childbirth.
That was where I was heading, for sure. Let's really make social media social.
