Please cast a vote, before tomorrow’s deadline, for Peter Deitz’ entry into the NetSquared Mashup Callenge!
Peter is dedicated to developing Internet technology tools that help the nonprofit arena. He’s spent the last year and a half creating a way to more easily find, create, and participate in online social change campaigns by developing a kind of search engine for all of the listings on GiveMeaning, Change, FirstGiving, and a dozen other sites.
This will make it infinitely easier to learn from these campaigns, both individually (to decide what to support or create) and collectively (by mapping campaigns by location, issue, activity, etc.).
One of the benefits of voting for Peter’s project (which will take about 20 minutes) will be learning about the other contest entries, getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a whole array of technologies and websites that are being developed for nonprofit causes.
If you have a few minutes today or tomorrow, please visit http://www.socialactions.com/vote-for-the-social-actions-mashup for an introduction to Peter and his work and for quick instructions on how to cast a vote for his project.
In Peter’s words:
Dear colleagues and friends,
I need your vote in the NetSquared Mashup Challenge to advance my work in micro-philanthropy.
In response to a call out for the most innovative example of a mashup for social change, I have proposed a project called “A Mashup of 29+ Social Action Platforms.”
You can read the full description here: http://tinyurl.com/3berjh
Over 120 projects are competing in the NetSquared Mashup Challenge. Your support for “A Mashup of 29+ Social Action Platforms” will help me break into the top 20. As a finalist, I will be invited to attend the conference, compete for a portion of $100,000 in funding, and win over the support of funders, foundations, and collaborators.
This exposure is necessary for me to bring about open standards for indexing and syndicating peer-to-peer social change campaigns from a range of social action platforms. My goal is to simplify the process of finding, creating, and participating in online social change campaigns.
Voting ends on Monday, March 24th at 5 p.m. PST.

Additional things you can do:
- Blog about this project

- Post a link to this project on your Facebook profile
Thank you in advance for your support.
All the best,
Peter

PS — I don’t usually send mass emails to colleagues and friends. I’m doing so in this case because I’m passionate about my work, and need as many supporters as possible to further this independent project.
