Social Ch@nge

One day to go till I see Obama’s election campaign new media director Joe Rospars speak in Warsaw. I’m headed there with German social media activist (and Social Ch@nge guest writer) Sven Haertig. Have you got any ideas for us about what we can ask him? Email us at editor@netfornonprofits.org

Also, Social Ch@nge is working on a story about the Name of Russia contest – voters across Russia were supposed to vote for who they thought Russia’s national heroes should be. Contenders were a mix of artists, writers, military and sports heroes. But mysteriously, the final votes went to the most controversial candidates after some pretty impressive dynamics – reportedly, Stalin went from a top contender, to twelfth, and then finally came third. Some people are saying the contest was outright hacked. Do you read Russian? Did you vote? Know where we can find out more? Email us or leave a comment at Social Ch@nge.
