Here is where you can begin to add your own ideas.

For example, I have coined the term AdvoCaster as a way of focusing attention on the power of webcasting for advocacy purposes. This means using such things as the stories of people actually engaged in community change activities, protests, public confrontations of policymakers (good ones and, when necessary, loud ones), etc. Imagine if the mechanics of these projects were put into the words of ordinary folks and made downloadable for the people who will carry them whereever they are needed as roving instructions.

I have set up this first one as:

AdvoCasting -- Perhaps an immaculate conception between webcasting and advocacy. Or the use of webcasting or podcasting for the purposes of teaching, inspiring, motivating or updating advocates in action.

You Think? -- You get to WikiStyle your comments here. Just remove these words and add your own using the tools provide. Pictures, graphics and links can also be added using the same stylistic tools.

There really is no limit to the length of the information you place here, but we are trying to keep the focus on the core ideas. The links and such that you add (including a link to a model of your idea) should really fill in the details. This, we hope, will promote a general discussion of the idea.

If you want to build on your own idea here, just make a new page (by creating a word or phrase of run-together word with multiple CAP letters in it) and the Wiki Gods will do there thing and make a new page. When you press Update at the top of this page as you edit your work, the combonation of words you created with be in red, which means that the page has been created but nothing has been added to it yet. Just click on that and add away.

By the way, if you are interested in hiring someone to use these ideas in your own community or nonprofit initiative, you can get to me at Empowerment Ventures. I'm not terribly expensive and I like to work with new ideas.
