Adopt A Us Soldier knows how to support our troops
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 22:54:19 07/29/09
On a mission to find the next great website I went through my normal channels poking around for answers. There were all kinds of sites but none of them made me want to contact them. The best suggestion that I received had the simplest idea and really makes one feel like you are doing your part by participating. The name of the website, Adopt A US Soldier. Started out by Ann Johnson, the CEO and Founder of the project after she teamed up with her friends to ship packages to her son Paul’s platoon. One of those friends, an air traffic controller, managed to get the Denver International Airport to donate care packages that totaled $3000. The soldiers wrote thank you letters which where eventually rerouted to everyone that helped support the project. A hand written letter, seen by clicking here , on the website from Paul illustrates a day in the life of a soldier. Adopt A US Soldier has grown over it’s 4 years with 35 volunteers running the behind the scenes operations. This morning I had the honor to get a tour from Satin Modesitt, the Director of Organized Groups, where she demonstrated to me how the website works. If you are a soldier, it could not be easier. Just fill in the form on the website including all of the required information including what you are interested in and Adopt A US Soldier takes care of the rest. Citizens have a different form to fill out where you get taken to a forum where you can talk about the packages that you are sending and become part of the online community. A typical soldier according to Satin can find themselves adopted by 6 citizens at a time. This ensures that the soldier gets taken care of one way or another. Even though it sounds difficult to put together a care package, Satin showed us how easy it truly is. She mentioned that even “just a handwritten letter from home… is like a big hug from the states…” If you want to adopt your very own soldier go to www.adoptaussoldier.org or you can help by going to http://communicause.com/5025 and help Adopt a US Soldier win a $25,000 social media makeover. Finally if you are into free online games, make it count, go to http://www.iwon.com/teamInfo.jhtml?teamId=56621 and collect coins towards a $5000 prize for the organization. Whatever you do know that you are making a difference.

[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 16:30:52 03/30/09
How do you start when you first check your computer in the morning? Please tell me: as I am thinking about what we should add next in Seesmic Desktop (ex-Twhirl) it will help me prioritize what we should add.Here is my sequence in general, with lots of new steps now that we are focusing so much on helping everybody build their communityThe most important-my email, see if anything important with the company happened during my sleep-check seesmic.com and the stats of everything we do (number of downloads, seesmic for facebook stats etc)-check the company chat backchannel (powered by Skype)What everybody is saying-check what everybody is saying on Twitter about Seesmic, Twhirl and... yes I check my name too-check what everybody is saying on Google blog SearchSay hi to my community-say hi on Twitter, which also posts to Facebook and other social software-often a quick short videoRead (and answer what I can) my social software replies (that includes seesmic and twhirl):-my Twitter @replies-my direct messages-my Skype chats-my seesmic video replies-my blog comments-my Facebook page and Seesmic's page comments-my YouTube comments-my Friendfeed comments-my Flickr comments Read the news-Techmeme -Read the friends I follow on Twitter-Key blogs and friends (I won't name them here, save it for a later post)-See the front page of the NY Times and sometimes some french press-If I have time also read my Google reader (I have to admit that's less and less)-I start to pay attention to two Ning communities these days, Triiibes and Geeks so I check what's happening thereThe whole process takes 30 mins to one hour, every morning. How about you? What is your sequence? Did I miss anything important?more at loiclemeur.com
