Less than two weeks ago I blogged about an exciting new idea – Akoha. I was enthusiastic about the idea, in fact I love it. I love the idea of doing good and passing it forward, call me optimistic, call me naive, but I think this idea has merit. So I blogged about it, I was a little surprised when I was contacted, asking for my address so I’d have a pack of cards to hand out at my upcoming conference. But I was astonished yesterday morning when I arrived at work to discover not a just a set for me, but 20 sets, 19 to hand out! Initially I stated – “If you’re wondering what this has to do with Libraries or the Social Web, my usual topics, the answer is nothing.” I was wrong. Oddly enough yesterday morning before I even got to work and discovered my cards, came across the Akoha Challenge and sent out a twitter message about it. So I’m changing my statement – If you’re wondering what this has to do with libraries or the Social Web the answer is everything! Akoha is all about doing good, libraries are all about doing good.
