Categories: Arts & Culture, Citizen Media, Development, Digital Activism, Ideas

So far, bloggers from 95 countries are ready to type with fast and fit fingers. For one day they will blog about one common theme creating a colorful collection of stories and reflections that will reach a collective audience of millions. On October 15, 2012 – it's Blog Action Day [1]!

Since 2007 Blog Action Day [1] has worked to raise awareness on important issues by facilitating a yearly blog blitz. Through the years the event has been covered on Global Voices [2] highlighting the issues as environment [3], poverty [4], climate change [5], water [6] and food [7]. This year's theme is nothing less than ‘The Power of We’ [8].
