Social media educator Libby Davy just let me know about the global blog event to raise awareness about the crisis in Burma and the Junta's disregard for the Burmese people.
There is outcry and protest in some towns and cities, but many people still do not know that aid deliveries are being turned away or delayed.
Saturday the 17th May will see bloggers around the world making some serious noise about this cause. It will be an interesting test to see if this kind of grass-roots action can rally together enough people to get these issues into the public consciousness.
There are also lots of real-world protests going on. See the Burma Global Action Network for more info.
