Thinking about volunteering and the social web
Blog health warning :-)
Reckon these posts need to come with a health warning. Unfortunately, they ain't nice neat clinical posts. They have a habit of being long and rambling (a bit like this warning). I'm trying to get my ideas out there in a bid to make sense of the issues. It's a sandbox after all. In particular, I'm interested in how the web is changing volunteering. I want to learn from the thinking of the past, to open up possibilities for the future.Blogroll

- #FF @dai_bach @pembdave @IdeaGov @stephendale @paddaniels @clairewhite2 @subtleblade all great peeps to follow :)
- @paddaniels thanks for the RT :)
- @paddaniels here's the link they included in the message http://tinyurl.com/3a532z9
- @paddaniels it may of just been the press team being positive but I'd call them and double check on what's going on, all a bit in the shadow
- @paddaniels brutal times, though learndirect tweeted me to say they weren't being cut, so maybe some conflicting news all round.
- @paddaniels I hadn't seen it. Quite like it.
- @paddaniels you've been awarded the BRONZE Helper badge on @twithelpme http://twithelp.me/profile/paddaniels
- Govt. Begins cuts to mental health support and removes monitoring so no one can tell - http://bit.ly/b2Yz5k via @paddaniels
- @paddaniels Between all the other cuts, the reduction in Connexions and Learndirect being shut down it's not good right now.
