Case Studies — Blogging

A blog is a type of website or part of a website where an individual or group provide commentary or news on a particular subject. Blogs can also act as personal online diaries. In 2009, BlogPulse, a search engine for blogs, estimated that there were 126 million blogs on the internet!

The Movements.org case study series identifies and evaluates campaigns that have harnessed technology for social change in their communities or that have demonstrated degree of success that others could learn from. Think you or someone you know should be featured?! Share your work here.
