Thanks so much for highlighting Valour-IT! And the news on the totals is actually even better: the site linked above includes just the preliminary amount. When checks and other donations are counted, we expect we will have raised about $220,000.

FbL,

  • Edelman's Steve Rubel Switches from Blog to Lifestream

    I spoke with Rubel a couple months ago when he was visiting San Francisco for the Ad:tech conference. We met at B Restaurant near Moscone Center and I interviewed him with my Flip camera.

  • Why is American University Becoming Center for New Journalism?
