A quick shout-out to Join The Impact, a website supporting people around the world to organise local protests against California's Proposition 8. It's gone from a seed on November 7th to a very large and active network in just 10 days...

The New York Times' Bits Blog covers the rapid growth of Join The Impact - key quote from Claire Cain Miller's NYT piece:

“When I started this company, this is what I wanted to see,” said Mr. Elowitz of Wetpaint. “This generation of 20- and 30-somethings is so plugged in online that they’re really learning to use online as a platform for organization and activism.”
