Just a heads-up to let you know that we’ve registered for Blog Action Day 2008 on October 15.  This virtual event will bring together bloggers from all over the blogosphere to contribute to a worldwide discussion on the subject of poverty.

Firstgiving is currently one of over 5,000 voices registered to contribute to the discussion, and we are thrilled to be a part of such an important and multi-dimensional conversation.  We’ll be blogging specifically about how online fundraising and social media can contribute to solutions to ending poverty.

Register your own blog, find tips and ideas on how to help and what to blog about here.  And be sure to swing by on October 15 to check out our post.
