Take Action Round Up: November 19

• Volunteering doesn't necessarily mean that you have to actually go someplace to do the volunteering; virtual volunteering is on the rise. Virtual volunteering is as varied in the types of activities and organizations you can work for as non-virtual world volunteering. You can review resumes, scan legal documents for mistakes or translate text all from home (or work...if your boss isn't looking..but we would never condone such behavior, of course.). Check out the UN's virtual volunteer page.
  There are also many volunteer opportunities you can do from your cell phone! Let your municipality know where pot holes are, identify craters on Mars (!! what? someone please do this and tell me what it's all about!), give tax advice or conduct an interview for a radio show!
  
  
• Check out Twitter's mashup of actions to take against poverty and hunger. You can subscribe to the feed, or just read it from their website. People have twittered a wide range of actions in both categories. Add your own!
  
  
• Are you a social citizen? Find out by taking this quiz from Social Citizens and enter a chance to win a flip video camera, consulting time with a social media expert, a flickr pro account and a $100 apple gift certificate. If you aren't as much a social citizen as you hoped you were, or want to be, they also give you ways to get involved!
