Ever since I read about Blogathon last year, I've been impressed with the power of the internet to convey a message and help a cause.
I'm considering (and definitely will, in one shape or form) participating in Blogathon 2004, which is set to take place on Saturday, July 24th this year. If you're not familiar with the event, it goes like so: Participating writers of blogs (like me for this site) sign up at the Blogathon site and choose a charity. They then solicit donations to that charity during a 24-hour event, during which they write a new post at least every 15 minutes. The event in 2004 will last from 9am local time on Saturday to 9am local time Sunday. If bloggers abide by the rules, they will have added 96 new entries to their blogs by the end of the event.
