The Worldwide Causes Daily Paper
It is my pleasure to announce the Worldwide Causes Digital Paper .
The headline, content and all articles withing the paper are auto-populated by a Twitter list. In this case it is my World Wide Causes list. There are also real-time Twitter conservations scrolling on the page. I like the format and with the only pet peeve being not having control of what ads appear on the page, I can say I like the site. It is truly no hassle to set up.

Haiti's Plight
Devastation of catastrophic proportions feel upon Haiti on Tuesday Jan 12, 2010 via a magnitude 7 earthquake. What has happened since can only be described as unimaginable. Loss, hunger, despair, pain have been a main theme a week later. Aid is arriving however it's trickling effect I fear will be the demise of many. What does not surprise me is the extraordinary out pour of monetary donations I believe is a first for our global community. People want to help in any way they can for the most part. I am not going to talk about the anti-support for Haiti that I have seen this past week from several attention addicted radio hosts, to so called Christians and others. Focusing instead on Haiti's long term needs. I am concerned that as weeks go by Haiti will be less spoken about causing care and support to dwindle. I hope I am wrong, that those who care will make it their personal commitment to be there long term. It's the basic principle to help those who can not help themselves.
Endurance and the will to make things better than when they were found are driving factors that humanity has proven they are capable of, I am hoping that will prove to be true again in this case. Time will be the witness.
Please follow the below #Haiti Twitter feed. It predominantly contains all things being talked about Haiti. The topics include progress being made, fund raising, emotions, messages of hope, sadly some ppl's sarcasm, needs still not being met, and many more related issues.

All he wants for Christmas is...
...a flip camera for vlogging awesome posts on his largely visited site!
@UrbanJibaro is one of the finalists! We can all help by giving him the most views: http://bit.ly/7ffHCb. It is very easy to vote, watch the video and that's it! The goal is to win the GoHuman Flip Mino HD video camera contest. I have no doubt that the new camera will be put to excellent use on his Sofrito For Your Soul site! Don't take my word for it, watch his entrance video!
Thank you!
