Envisioning 2.0

I thought I’d add to the “explosion” (pun intended) of commentary about the latest PR blogger to hit the scene: the sexy “Strumpette” or “Amanda Chapel.” She (or it) is getting lots of buzz, so I’d thought I’d draw attention to my quiet, serious, low-circ blog by mentioning her, or it, or whatever. For anyone who cares, this is an obvious attempt to garner “link love” — but for a good cause, so read on.

Outing “Strumpette”

It appears that “Amanda” may be close to being outed. In a comment posted on Robert French’s blog infOpinions?, Mike Driehorst says:

“Now, I know relatively little about technology. So, the following may be hogwash, and no harm is meant by it. But . . .

I found the IP address for Ms. Chapel’s comment at:
http://www.contentmanager.net/community/forum/11/15/16.html
It’s a discussion through about “Miro International Supports Mambo Open Source Community in Disputing Furthermore Claims”
Ms. Chapel’s comment IP address is the same as someone named “Furthermore” in that discussion.

If you follow the link by “furthermore”:
http://www.literatigroup.com/versusmambo/content/view/54/46/1/2/
that is in that discussion, you get to a statement about Miro International. In that statement, there is reference to a Brian Connolly of Chicago-based Furthermore Inc.

Mr. Connolly had a couple comments on Steve Rubel’s blog in February about the Edelman Talk Shop look and brand: http://www.micropersuasion.com/2006/02/talking_shop.html

Mr. Connolly’s Furthermore Inc. publishes wepublishing.com, a platform for managing Web community information.

So, is there a legit connection between Ms. Chapel and Mr. Connolly? Or, has my inept tech expertise been exposed?”

Now For The Legit Stuff: Healthcare Non-Profits That Deserve Link Love

Robert French has been asking people to share some link love with non-profits to draw attention to their activities and to support their blogging efforts (see this post.) I’ve nearly completed my massive report on healthcare blogging and there is a big section in it on healthcare non-profit blogs. So, here’s me giving link love to the non-profit blogs I highlight in my report. Visit their blogs, support them (if you agree with their cause) and link to them. Now, the list:

Healthcare Non-Profit Blogs

-Planned Parenthood: Save Roe!
-The March Of Dimes: Share Your Story
-The Amercan Lung Association Of Minnesota
-The Hastings Center: Bioethics Forum
-The MIRACLE Campaign
-The Constellation For AIDs Competence
-Camp ASCCA Journal
-A Healthy Blog

That’s all folks. . .
