We’ll be doing our live show on blogtalkradio today at 2:30 PM EST.

We’d love to hear from you. The call in number is: (718) 506-1372

Today we’ll be talking to one of the organizers of Social Media For Social Change. I’ll be posting more on this great event later, but here’s a short intro from their site:

The social media world has proven that, though still a young and small community within a multitude of industries, we have the power to exact great change. Social media has broken down walls and created conversations. IBM does product testing in Second Life. Old college classmates reunite on Facebook. Zappos does intra-office communication via Twitter. All great, paradigm shifting events.

But we believe something more is possible.

Something powerful that could help nonprofit organizations — organizations that struggle to keep their bottom line alive — get the support and recognition they need to help the families and individuals that depend on their efforts. We want to use the tools that are helping businesses and companies grow to do something more than make a buck… we want them to make a difference.

Join with us in starting a movement that will bring individuals, startups, companies, corporations and the causes we value together to change the lives of those who need it most. We’re starting with a single event to benefit a cause that is working to improve lives of families at risk. But that’s just the beginning.

In addition, we’ll be talking about my favorite new site of the week, thesixtyone.com, a site that helps you find new music, but in a different way than all the other music discovery sites. We’ll talk about Guitar Praise, and why Tropic Thunder was awful (even if Sarah thinks it was one of the funniest movies of all time).
