Who doesn’t have a tweet to spare or share for a good cause? Just recently, getting my daily dose of Greenpeace online news, I noticed the “donate 1 tweet a day” link on the organizations website.

Twitter wants to make a change and yesterday marked the beginning of that change. Between September 15th and 25th, you can take part in the big TwitChange auction event.

I enjoy growing plants, especially indoors. Practically all my window space (and then some) is taken up by plants–herbs, cacti, flowers, you name it. If you’re an avid lover of plants or have plants of your own, then you’re probably aware of all the care they require and how easy it can be to make mistakes–especially when it comes to watering. We all know they don’t get the same amount of water, but how much is too much or too little? And how often should you water them? Do you let the soil go dry or should you keep it…

Have you ever wanted to friend or follow a gorilla? Well, now you can! Thanks to the launch of friendagorilla.org, people will be able to monitor the everyday lives of one of the 720 remaining mountain gorillas online, by viewing videos, pictures and rangers’ blogs through Twitter, Facebook and other sites.
