| Lately,
I’ve been a bit carried away with the possibilities
of free technology. It all started when I uploaded our
five-minute Real Change video to YouTube early this year
and linked it to our website. More people have now seen
“Changes Them, Changes You” than did over
the previous two years. We followed up by making our 30-second
Change Perspective PSA the realchangenews.org splash page
a few weeks ago. At 1,754 views and counting, this thought-provoking
piece of work is off the shelf and back in people’s
faces. We’ll be rotating through four versions to
keep it from getting old.
Then, I discovered the wonderful world of wikis. This
online resource has brought Real Change much closer
to our goal of organizational transparency. We’re
proud of what we do and want you to know about it. All
of our key documents are now where you can see them.
Want to know our newspaper’s priorities for 2007?
Download the staff work plan. Interested in our organizing
strategy? Take a look at our neighborhood organizing
funding narrative. We are an open book. See realchange.wikispaces.com.
Finally, I have officially gone ultra-geek by launching
my own daily blog at apesmaslament.blogspot.com. This
is where I step outside of my less-than-careful-somewhat-potty-mouthed
public persona as Tim Harris, Real Change Director, to
simply be Tim Harris. It’s best avoided by the easily
offended. Maybe I’ll see you there.
