Earlier today, I got an email from our b5media Technology Channel Editor, Jayvee, informing us about Blog Action Day ‘08. He encouraged us to participate and register our blogs and contribute about this year’s theme  “POVERTY”. So, why not? I then registered OfficeTweaks.com and my personal blog JeromeLocson.com…

From August 15th to October 15th bloggers are asked to register to participate so we can track how many are involved, as well as their approximate audience size. On October 15th the bloggers post on the issue and/or donate their day’s ad revenue to a charity involved in that area. We ask bloggers to try to keep their posting related to their regular blog topic so that posts are individual, suited to the audience and look at the issue in many different lights.

Here’s their promotional video ad for you to be inspired:
