Hi everyone,
At the suggestion of Regina Warren and other members of omidyar.net,
I've set up a new blog called Katrina Thanks:
http://katrinathanks.blogspot.com/
The purpose of this blog is to serve as an open space for members of the
public to thank donors, volunteers and relief workers for lending a
helping hand in the days and weeks following Hurricane Katrina. Similar
to the Katrina Aftermath blog (http://katrina05.blogspot.com), the
Katrina Thanks blog accepts text, photos and voicemail from anyone who'd
like to send a message of thanks. This way, anyone can post a thank-you
to whomever they'd like to acknowledge, whether it's a person for
donating money, a church or civic organization that organized
volunteers, or even a country that sent aid and personnel to the United
States.
Instructions:
Email: send a message to katrinathanks.email @ blogger.com. The subject
line will serve as the blog entry's title, while the email message
itself with be the blog's text. If you include hyperlinks, please send
the email in HTML; otherwise the link will not be processed properly.
Attachments will not be accepted.
Photos: If you're a Flickr.com user, simply upload a photo and tag it
"katrinathanks." If you don't use Flickr, feel free to email a photo to
turn80church @ photos.flickr.com. If you want to include a title and
text with the photo, please give your email a subject line and put the
text in the body of the email. One photo per person, please. Photos are
displayed automatically in the right-hand column of the blog.
Voicemail: The blog will convert voicemail into podcasts automatically.
Dial 1-415-856-0205 (long distance charges apply)
Enter login 828-828-8888
Enter PIN code 2005, plus the # key
Record your message
Press the # key to save your message, then the 1 key to post it
Because the site exists specifically as a tool for expressing gratitude
to people and entities that have made a positive difference in Katrina
relief efforts, please refrain from posting partisan jabs or other
attacks; there are plenty of other websites for these political debates.
Similarly, spam will not be tolerated.
Please feel free to share this email with friends and colleagues.
thanks,
andy
