Making a Difference with Social Media

Online tools that connect people to real world actions in creative and accessible ways have the potential to rapidly accelerate social change.

Social Actions is a nonprofit initiative committed to making it easier for people to find and share opportunities to make a difference. A search engine on SocialActions.com helps users find ways to take action for the causes they care about from 50+ online action sources including Kiva, DonorsChoose.org, Change.org, DemocracyinAction, GlobalGiving, Idealist.org, SixDegrees, VolunteerMatch,Care2 and others. Social Actions creates incentives such as the Change the Web Challenge to encourage the distribution of their open API (Application Programming Interface) to websites, blogs, social networks and mobile devices and include everything from volunteer opportunities to micro-credit loans.

The overall goal of the SocialActions site is to make the web more action-oriented and to make it easier for people to make a difference.

Check it out.
Cheers!

You made a difference in my life....

Who do you appreciate? This video says it all. Make a difference in their lives by letting them know you care.



If there are people who have made a difference in your life, reach out and let them know that you respect them, admire them, recommend them, and appreciate them.

Go ahead. It's easy.

Cheers!
