Hope Plus for ’social politics’
p2pnet news view P2P | Politics:- President Barack Obama and Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates are being asked to back Hope Plus, a global, multilingual website promoting “social politics”.
Through it, people would collaborate on “building schools, campaigning against pollution or helping disaster victims,” says the E-Government Bulletin.
Slated for launch at the UN Climate Change conference in Copenhagen in December, it’ll create “a place where people can meet, congregate, and participate with NGOs to change the world online,” says founder Phil Noble (right) who advised Obama presidential campaigners on internet activity
“The name Hope Plus is derived from the premise that ‘If you take hope, people’s desire to do something, plus action, that equals change”, the story has Noble saying.
Funded by seed money and technology from “several big name corporations, the portal will comrise a “network, activism tools and a platform allowing others to create their own new tools, says Noble inthe story, adding:
“It will be a user-generated site, in terms of content and the site’s development. Most NGOs are still quite web 1.0 – we want to apply the web 2.0 technology that Obama used so effectively to the whole helping world.”
