Net Tuesday: Interview with Ben Rattray of Change.org

This podcast is an interview by David Collin, NetSquared's San Francisco podcaster with Ben Rattray, the founder of Change.org. According to their site:

Change.org aims to transform social activism by serving as the central platform that connects like-minded people, whatever their interests, and enables them to exchange information, share ideas, and collectively act to address the issues they care about. To augment the power of the grassroots networks that develop through Change.org, we help connect these networks to the many nonprofit organizations that are already working to advance worthy causes around the world - over 1 million in total.

Ben explains why he established a site to enable people who are passionate issues to network and participate in ways not commonly available to them through established organizations. Ultimately, the goal is for the network and nonprofits to collaborate on common goals.
