A Charity Gig Comes Together Using Social Networking Tools! Part 1:)
Earlier in 2007, I had a discussion about a project with a colleague I admire greatly. It was the result of great concern over, actions that could possibly be detrimental to learners and education in general.
Life along with an unsuccessful application for funds, saw the project left on the shelf, gathering dust.
Recent events and activities have blown the dust away.
New life. An idea now a reality.
On the 19th of October 2007 an event will take place in Melbourne, Australia. It involves:
- Young Aussie Indie Music Talent
- Fundraising
- Social Networking Tools
- Learning
Increased awareness and promotion of:
- Young Aussie Indie Music Talent
- Individual Bands/Performers
- DJ Nana Mex - and future radio station
- DownUnda Thunda
- Musicland
- Asylum TV
- Jazazi Pty Ltd
- Social Networking Tools
- Max Merritt and need for aid
- A changing world, how to engage and evolve using the www
- Leading Change
- Innovation
This event has been pulled together in less than three weeks. Those involved have not met face to face. Social Networking Tools, email, skype, phone alone used.
The event is being filmed by Asylum TV and will be shown on air.
Other tools are now being engaged to connect all parties and broadcast live, beam people in and more.
Part two of this amazing journey will appear shortly.
I leave part one with a copy below of a bulletin issued on myspace to promote the event. An interesting read, clearly demonstrating the power of social networking tools.
SOCIAL NETWORKING TOOLS REALLY DO ROCK!

Huge Thank You!! Benefit Gig Pre-post
Body:
What a Country and what an awesome mob of Independent Musos we have in this country!I put out a call for bands to do a free gig, get there, play, get home all for no pay, but to show their support for a legend. The response was even more huge than I could possibly have imagined. I want to say a special thanks to those bands and solo artists who would have had they been able to, and to those who rang just to see what they could do to help. The gig is set, the bands are working together, networking just as MySpace was designed for them to do to pull off this gig, and to see to it we have raffle items, that all musos have needed gear, and now they will begin to promote and sell tickets and make this the most awesome Indie Gig ever. Here are the preliminaries, with major posts, banners and posters to come over the 3 weeks between now and then.==================================================Downunda Thunda Indies for Life ...
