[MNASIS-L] Looking for bloggers

[Ann Treacy]

Hi guys!

I am working with a project for the Blandin Foundation and  I'm hoping that
you might be able to help or if you're a blogger that you might be
interested in joining.

The Blandin Foundation (http://www.blandinfoundation.org) and E-Democracy
(http://www.e-democracy.org/) have teamed to promote and support Online
Citizen Engagement & Media Projects in rural Minnesota. To begin to promote
these Minnesota Voices we are compiling a list of rural, citizen-led online
projects including blogs, online discussions, YouTube channels, Flickr
groups, wikis, and more. You can see a list of the MN Voices resources we
have found here: http://delicious.com/tag/mnvoices

Our next step is to try to support the citizens maintaining these tools. To
that end, we are creating a citizen media and online engagement community of
practice online - in other words, an email-based discussion list where
Minnesota Voices can meet and talk about issues that interest them - be it
cross-promoting each other's work, technical assistance, opening the door to
collaboration, or simply meeting people with a shared interest in
Minnesota-based citizen engagement. You can learn more about the list here:
http://e-democracy.org/citizenmedia

So why are we writing to you? Because librarians are in the know. First, if
you know of any citizen-based resources we should add to our list, please
let us know. Our goal is to be comprehensive and we are happy to hear of new
additions. Also, if you maintain a site or know of someone who does and
might like to join our Citizen Media Online Group, please feel free to join
or invite others to join.

Every attempt will be made to invite owners of the sites we find to join the
list - but your help in compiling the list and spreading the word is greatly
appreciated.  

Thanks!  Ann
