I recently launched an online community for business professionals to collaborate on reducing the environmental impact of their business. The site is called Virid.us.
Virid.us is a practical "how to manual" for issues you face at work, where collective knowledge helps members create a meaningful impact - for the environment, their employer and themselves. We think everyone has a gree… Continue

MILFORD, Pa. — Whether or not Barack Obama prevails in his fight to become the Democratic nominee, he's rockin' the youth vote.
It's not only that young voters like Obama; they are actively involved in his campaign.
Meet Ryan Jameson, a senior at Delaware Valley High School and the 18-y… Continue

An hour and a half with Barack Obama
Mar 3, 2008
I've tried very hard to keep politics out of this blog -- despite nearly overpowering impulses to the contrary -- for two reasons: one, there's no reason to alienate people who don't share my political views, as wrong-headed as those people may clearly be; two, there's no reason to expect my opinion on political issues should be any more valid than any other reader of what, these days, passes… Continue

This site was set up to help Obama supporters who have or need campaign gear find each other. Don't throw your materials away, reuse them for future primaries! Go to the forum section and you will see many posts. And remember, all of the materials from TX, OH, RI and VT can be used in WY, MS, PA, IN, NC and others. Continue

Our driving goal with Ning is to provide software that enables people the freedom to create. Here at Ning HQ, we love seeing new social networks on Ning pop up that we would have never thought of on our own. Happily, this happens a lot.
Obamacycle.com is one of those social networks that once you see it, it makes complete sense.
Featured yesterday in Wired as "A Craigslist for Obama Campaigners", Obamacycle.com was created by Fur… Continue

Campaigns find ways to reuse and recycle promotional materials
Is that sign from 2004, or 2008?
By Asher Price
AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Thursday, February 28, 2008
Last Thursday, a message was posted on Obamacycle, a Web site dedicated to reusing Sen. Barack Obama campaign materials by zipping them from one state to another.
"We're still sorely in need of yard signs, T-shirts, and bumper stickers," read… Continue

Some great success stories mentioned in this article! Here's the text of the article:
After deciding to commit a significant chunk of his time to volunteer for Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign just outside Cleveland in early February, Rich VanOverberg faced a low-tech dilemma. He couldn't get timely access to any campaign paraphernalia that would help him spread his candidate's brand.
"The Ohio primary was coming up, and I kne… Continue

Wow, it's only been 10 days, but what an amazing reception for this site. In this short period, there have been over 75,000 visitors to the site, almost 700 members and hundreds of "matches." As expected, there are way more "need it" posts than "have it" posts. With March 4th quickly approaching, let's redouble our efforts to ObamaCycle as much as we can!
BTW, there was a great TV story on an O… Continue
Someone just sent me this link to a bit on a TV station in Austin, TX. Great to see the good word of ObamaCycle getting out there!

Hey, if you have them, we'd love to hear them. Post your success stories of finding a match on ObamaCycle here. Particularly Texas or Ohio. And thanks for participating!
I was reading the Obama campaign blog today and there was a post on "donate money now" that had several thousand comments. I was scanning through the comments and noticed a lot of back and forth along the lines of, "we need some campaign posters in Louisiana." So I decided to set up a discussion forum hosted on Ning. If you click on the "forum" button, you'll see a list of the states yet to vote in the primary. If you need stuff, post it in your state. Also, if you have stuff and don't mind s
