Thanks, Christine! I think NPR is a great example. Now that I live abroad I have found a new connection to NPR thanks to the tools you mention – podcasts of shows, Twitter, etc. It really helps me feel like I’m still connected to the topics and conversations at home.

I love what NPR has done with their site, Facebook page, Twitter accounts and podcasts. I’m much more engaged with NPR than I ever was when I just listened to it on the radio.

Hi Kim-

Thanks so much for joining the conversation here. I’m a fan of World Pulse as well and completely agree with you that building community is how we begin to change the world. I signed up to their e-newsletter and enjoy the stories they highlight via email to pull people back in to the site.

Thanks again for sharing.

World Pulse (www.worldpulse.com) and their online networking site Pulsewire (http://www.worldpulse.com/pulsewire) is a fantastic example of the potential for the internet to do good. World Pulse is a media organization that recognizes that there are a lot more stories than what gets told through traditional media avenues- the perspectives of women are especially lacking in global media coverage. Pulsewire is a social networking site where women and women’s supporters from all over the world can gather to tell their own stories, to exchange ideas, and offer each other resources to help solve problems. It creates community, which I believe is the most powerful role the internet can play in helping us imagine and create a better future. I read posts on the site when I need a daily dose of inspiration.
