I'm at the Online Community Summit and am participating in the Online Collaboration for Social Good session. Lots of great examples (I will provide links in the comments of this discussion later), but this is the example I choose to lead with:

It's an ingenious design on this remembrance home page. I like how it really drives the message home and transports us back to what things used to be like here in the US mere decades ago.

Given the options, which link do you choose first? If you're like me, you and can't help but click on both of them. I deliberately disobeyed and chose the link on the right.

Some other interesting sites presented during the day:

  • Ronald McHummer as an environmentalist's response to MickeyD's giving out 40 million toy Hummers in Happy Meals. Great creativity tapped into via the "write a church sign" widget.
  • Great examples of user-created compelling content in these two sites: Amplified Voices (kids in Rio with camcorders documenting their plight) and Sex, etc (teens telling teens the straight dope on sex ed). I find the user-generated content of these kinds of sites to be so much more authentic than the hyper-produced slick sites created by corporate groups.
  • And a cool video technology site is ClickTV which allows users to actually dig into the content of videos (think adding comments at specific points in a video so others can see them at the right time).

Here's a cool visualization of otherwise dry data. You can see how "dugg" stories are doing in climbing the Digg stack to get to the front page of the site.
