Leigh, I hadn't thought twice about this until reading your post: at Netroots Nation, one prominent blogger introduced me to another as "a do-gooder." Which was funny at the time, or whatever. But there was an edge to it, maybe an awareness of the limited scope of the netroots reach, and maybe an implication that it's not likely to change as quickly or organically as you and i might like.
Anyway i'm guessing that ultimately the creative, productive, social-justice-oriented networks that we're waiting for won't look like the blogospheres that you and i are familiar with. I think it might be more locally-focused and collaborative, less oriented around ideas and criticism and more around problems and solutions. that's probably a good thing.
let me know if you see anything interesting out there.
Please check out Bread for the City's blog, Beyond Bread, where Sharon regularly posts about her nutrition work, alongside all kinds of discussion of poverty matters.
Hrm, the hypertext doesn't seem to be working. See here: http://www.forbes.com/2009/04/20/unemployment-welfare-tanf-business-oxford.html
