Check out the New Activist Guide Squidoo Lens - and give it some Social Loving!

Hey Everyone,

I just put together a "Squidoo" lens for the Activist Guide - and all of you. If you're not familiar with Squidoo it's part of the new "Web 2.0" - the social part of the Web - and it's a way that, if you use it right - you can get more volunteers, In-Kind donations, sponsors, even individual donors for your project.

In fact, we're going to be doing a teleseminar/webinar on that very topic in the next few months.

In the meantime, do me a favor and go check it out. You can find it here:
Activistguide Squidoo Lens

And if you already understand how to use delicious, digg and stumble upon, please click the little icons and give our new squidoo lens some "social lovin'!" If you don't know what I'm talking about, the short version is, by clicking the icons found on the squidoo lens page, you're helping to "bookmark" the site, and letting other people know that you like it. The more bookmarks a site gets, the more "popular" it becomes and the more traffic it gets...

Which is why I created the lens in the first place. I'm going to use it as a "case study" to show you what's possible for your own site, and how you can use it to get the word out about your project, and even get additional volunteers, raise more money and build a stronger, more sustainable project.

So something else you could do is to pass the word around - let your friends and family know about the squidoo lens, and give them a link to it and ask them to visit it and bookmark it using digg, stumbleupon and delicious. (If you are a "twitter" fan, you can even twitter about it.)

Okay guys, I'll be back in touch shortly...don't forget to go and check out the squidoo lens though! Activist Guide Squidoo Lens
