Link of the Day: NetAction’s Virtual Activist Training Guide

“The Internet is a powerful tool that allows us to expand our networks by identifying and communicating with like-minded people anywhere in the world. It enables us to disseminate information widely, cheaply, and instantaneously. Although you’ll need some special skills to build and maintain a Web site, email is easily mastered even if you have little or no technical expertise. If you can read and write and your computer has a modem, you can be a Virtual Activist!”

It ought to be noted that at the time of this writing, the folks at NetAction haven’t updated their guide since August of 2007 – and judging by their site, they probably won’t be updating it again any time soon. As a result, there’s an undue focus on email, and some pretty liberal use of the word “cyberspace.” But there’s still some pretty worthwhile information to be gained from it.
