The New Orleans 100 (NOLA100) is a worldwide initiative founded by AllDayBuffet that “hopes to highlight and encourage discussion among millions about 100 of the most innovative and world-changing ideas to take root in the city since Katrina.”
To combat top down media during the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, AllDayBuffet hope to leverage bottom up tools on the social web (email, blogs, twitter, facebook, digg, etc.), which can reach a combined audience of millions to raise awareness about New Orleans and inspire action to make a difference.
A list will be released on Monday, August 25th – the week of the Hurricane Katrina anniversary. The goal is to reach 1,000,000 pageviews by August 29th. So, sign up to the Newsletter and you’ll get an email on August 25th of 100 world changing ideas to discuss.
I am interested to see how this develops, if the challenge is met and what projects arrive in the inbox!
