Twitter Action Pack | Social Actions.

Here’s another great tool from Social Actions. It’s a long list of subscribable Twitter feeds, organized by issue areas like “Disability Actions”, “Climate Actions”, “Democracy Actions” and “Darfur Actions”. Each feed includes actionable items, including opportunties to donate, volunteer, sign a petition, send an email to your representative, or attend an event. So if you have a favorite cause (or ten), you can subcribe and receive regular “tweets”, regularly connecting you with direct ways to make a difference. You’ll need a Twitter account, which you can get here.

How to Take Action on Any Web Site – Social Actions.

Imagine you’re reading an article from your favorate internet news source and it gets you all excited (or upset). Now imagine that instead of ranting at your unsuspecting friends or family members until you calm down and forget about it, that right at your fingertips while you’re reading there’s a way to take action, to satisfy your righteous indignation, and to do good things for the world all at once. If you use Firefox (and if you don’t, why don’t you????) you can do just that. The set up takes a couple of steps, but using Ubiquity and the Social Actions Ubiquity Command you can highlight any phrase on any web pages and immediately find actions you can take to make a difference. Follow the directions here to put the power of the web for activism at your fingertips.
