Society Page: Care2 Adopts Moving Ideas
Formalizing an arrangement that's been in the works since the Moving Ideas Network announced it was closing up shop in January, Care2, a diffuse community site whose aim is to connect people with causes in a myriad of ways, today announced custody of Moving Ideas.
We're thrilled that the good folks at Moving Ideas have been able to keep the ship afloat under the auspices of another good group (even if the announcement used the dreaded word "portal") and interested to see how the project evolves in Care2's, uh, care. If your organization is a Moving Ideas member or you've been a visitor to their site, there's a brief survey up where you can help inform Moving Ideas' evolution.

E-mail: Three Yards in a Cloud of Dust
This blog routinely hammers the fact that e-mail is still the most
important and effective way to communicate with the vast majority of
supporters -- the chain-moving ground game, as it were, that sets up
the Web 2.0 gadget plays. Antwaan Randle El may get $11 million to sign,
but it's the commitment to sending those biweekly newsletters on
schedule with worthwhile content that gives you the makeable
down-and-distance scenarios to let him try the end-around option pass.
And our commitment is to keep blogging that point, using the most strained analogies imaginable.

Will Texas Answer the Bell?
Congratulations to Chris Bell of the DIA community on a resounding victory in yesterday's Texas gubernatorial primary. We've profiled their fabulous blog in this space in the past; their blogad (left) is rather spiffy, too.
On to November...
Meanwhile, the Cuellar victory over Ciro Rodriguez in the lefty netroots centerpiece primary campaign is sure to generate plenty of heat, and possibly a little light, as left and right blogs strafe each other at dawn.
