C2 Bloggers Help Out with Sun UN Global Youth Summit

You may have noticed this story about Sun and the UN Global Youth Summit on sun.com.

The Sun C2 Bloggers, Linda, Lou, and myself were really fortunate because we got to share our stories about blogging with these youth leaders and present a Blogging 101 session to get them started. The best part about the sessions is that they really became conversations instead of presentations.

It is really exciting because these people are poised for big things and to have the opportunity to share with them the potentials of blogging was amazing. I personally blog about many things, but I'm not sure I'll ever be blogging about things that could change the world. These youth leaders on the other hand are poised to go out there and really utilize this tool (the blog) as a potential forum for world change. Go get 'em youth leaders and remember if you've got ongoing questions about this blogging thing, we gave you our emails so feel free to bug us. ;)

Also thanks to MaryMary one of Sun's star bloggers who added some excellent insight to the discussion.

  • Jennifer's story on blogging after a bad experience with an airline, and realizing her post shows up in Google results alongside the airline company's home page!
  • Learning that blogs.sun.com can aggregate external blogs for Sun employees from Linda -- a "best kept secret" for sure

It's fun to work with a group of talented individuals who are passionate about what they do, and I consider myself fortunate.

[Trackback] One of the primary reasons I (and many other people with philanthropic interests) work at Sun is because it is a socially responsible company -- Sun doesn't just talk about why social responsibility is good, but it demonstrates this stance through acti...
