All right, it lacks the gravity of April Fools Day or even Earth Hour.
But today has been proclaimed "Good People Day" by web wine celebrity, social media cheerleader and video blogger extraordinaire Gary Vaynerchuk.
Nothing can do justice to the idea better than his vividly exuberant video proclamation found on the page linked above. But the basic idea is to blog, Twitter, IM, wiki-post, videoblog, podcast or use some other form of social communcation to celebrate good people using the social web for good things--to help others, be kind to strangers, support worthy causes, perform public service, etc.
Sure, Vaynerchuk is an excellent self-promoter and veteran social media stuntmaster. But his enthusiasm to celebrate the Good Web is contagious.

Economy and the Homeless
As the Economy slowly collapses what is the Nation doing to prevent the onslaught of the Homeless?
The Social Service system does not have enough tools to evade this problem. What will happen to those people who have nowhere to turn? It is my Opinion that with all the "Governments" bailout of the Market failures that maybe they should accept the responcibility of this tradgedy as the Homeless numbers will increase to epidemic numbers.
We the people need to accept
We the people need to accept this as our owen respondsibility, but are we spiritual enough to accept the challenge.

Those who give up their lves, will be killed. those who try to hold on to their lives will be murdered.
My, comment about Mr. Moyers show is not mailicous but the truth
I jut recently watched your show about the concern of the farm bill. I think that Mr. Beckman is wrong for several reasons. If he was so concerned about wrongful spending than he might start looking at church groups first. Also I much rather have my tax dollars go to the farms in America rather to some foreign country such as Africa. The majority of persons in this country will not even show effort to take care of them and sit around and wait for other countries such as the U.S.A to help and take care of them. The majority of foods that I have bought in grocery stores are from the united states not Africa. Why in the world is this person much concerned for them? I heard him speak more about Africa rather than helping middle class and lower class families who are either making it from payday to payday to the poor here in the U.S. instead of wanting money for them maybe he needs to go and by seedlings from the farmers here and take that to Africa and teach them how to grow crops! And then he wouldn't have to worry about food stamps for people here due to the fact that he wouldn't be taking anything from America to help the poor idiots in another country. I get so sick and tired of hearing how another country needs money from the U.S. they never repay it. Also just a second thought of persons in Africa where Mr. Beckman has traveled. These are the same people that would kill an American on sight and has done so in reference to some of the states such as Somalia, Sudan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Libya, Kenya, Angola, and Congo!!!
