The Real Power of the Internet

I have a way of managing to time things SO BADLY, so of course I was standing in a group of people talking about how fantastic social media is less than two hours before The Dress became the thing everyone was talking about.

"Twitter can do anything!" I believe I said. I also made mention of how powerful blogs can be and even threw in a kind word about Facebook. And then The Dress ruined all of my delusions.

So.

Sometimes I just need to take back what I said. Other times I need to prove my point. Let's see which one we can do here...

There are two fantastically magical social media things happening right now. Please to be helping, if you can? Maybe?

The first is one that I've mentioned before. It's Random Acts of Kindness Day in Memory of Carli Hope. All you have to do is do something nice for someone on March 26th. That's it. Participating will make it possible for a little girl to make the world a better place on what would have been her 5th birthday.

Go to the Facebook page and say that you'll participate so that Carli's parents can see how much their little girl matters.

The other thing that most certainly proves that the internet can achieve magic is Make Room for Kids, hosted over on That's Church. Ginny is good people and what she does to make sure kids who are hospitalized are just a little bit more comfortable is fantastic. If you have a dollar or two, help her out.

Thanks for reminding me that the internet is more than just cat pictures and arguments over what color a dress is.
