LINK AND THINK 2002:
Weblogs & Journals on World AIDS Day
<http://www.linkandthink.org/>
December 1, 2002

What: Link and Think is an observance of World AIDS Day in the
personal web publishing communities. The project involves
hundreds of webloggers, journalers, diarists and other personal
website publishers, each linking to resources about HIV/AIDS or
publishing personal stories about how the AIDS pandemic has
affected them.

When: World AIDS Day, December 1, 2002

Who: Anyone who publishes a personal weblog, diary, journal,
blog, newspage, E/N site or other frequently updated personal
website is invited and encouraged to Participate.

How: On December 1, use your weblog to publish links to
resources about HIV/AIDS, to news articles about new research
and treatment protocols, to works of art created by people living
with AIDS, to organizations working to eradicate the disease, or
to other websites your readers might find useful in educating
themselves about AIDS. If you publish a journal or diary, tell a
story about how AIDS has affected you and those you love or
recall how a friend confronted an HIV diagnosis or how you feel
about ideas such as works exchange programs or frank sex
education or a million other topics. It's up to you!

Where: On the web, of course, and in the real world too! Link to
cool sites. Think about how AIDS affects you. React to the threat
of AIDS around the world. Act by getting involved with a local
AIDS service organization.

Why: Because AIDS is not over and because you can make a
difference. Every weblog, journal and personal site on the web
has a different audience, a collection of friends, family and peers
who look to it for information important to its publisher. Focus on
AIDS for one day -- World AIDS Day -- and help spread
information about the disease, its treatment, those we have lost
and those who survive. Because AIDS is not over and because
you can make a difference.
