CITIZENShift and Parole citoyenne (http://citizen.nfb.ca and http://citoyen.onf.ca) are the National Film Board’s social issues websites featuring community-driven films, photography, articles, blogs and podcasts.

Insightshare - a participatory video organisation.
We are creating a global portal to bring together people using participatory video. This mans community, collaborative video, concerned with the process as well as the product at the end.

We are linked to filmforge, transmission and have large partners such as the Global Diversity Foundation and sections of the UN, as well as many small communities and organisations

The main focus of the portal will be the videos and the creators and owners of the videos - the communities.

BabelUp is a social network for social activism. That is, it's a fun community to hang out in with friends and discuss global issues. BabelUp hosts forums, user blogs, image galleries, real-time chatting, groups, calendars, and lots of other features you'd expect to find in a well-designed (hopefully) social network.

I run a content-based website ( http://www.gradspot.com ) and have included facebook share icons/links at the bottom of each article. However, after clicking on the share icon/link, while I am forwarded to Facebook, it doesn't usually pick up anything from the article (i.e., there's no title, description or thumbnail). Sometimes it doesn't even pick up the link. All that being said, we've even included the meta tags Facebook suggests.

Anyone had this problem before and been able to fix it?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Above is a picture of Victoria (who Dale and mentioned in our Vancouver LOD October 2006 notes) so you can spot her at conferences. I bet she'll be explaining and talking about Now Public at lots of conferences about social media and citizen journalism, so keep an eye out for her!
