my.OneWebDay: Your Web. Your Day. Your Community.

Welcome to my.OneWebDay.org!

OneWebDay is September 22!

my.OneWebDay.org is the primary collaboration platform for OneWebDay organizers. If you are looking for introductory information, please visit our public site at www.OneWebDay.org and read about our story.

OneWebDay Organizers are now taking a deep breath, and OneWebDay staff and leadership are taking stock of what we achieved in preparation of our next phase of evaluation and strategic planning.

In the meantime, on this site, you can:

  • Use the my.OneWebDay to share what you're up to and organize other relevant information with the network.
  • Use the Groups feature to Start or Join a local OneWebDay team for your city or town, start a regional or national group, or gather your organization's membership together on my.OneWebDay.org. The Group feature is here to support your organizing needs.
  • Start or Join a discussion to share ideas for OneWebDay events with all the teams.
  • Publicize events, including planning meetings and the events you organize for OneWebDay or anything you'd like to share with the community.
  • Write blog posts to talk to the entire OneWebDay network: share your OneWebDay ideas and experiences or start a conversation about recent Internet and Web news. We will promote top notch blog entries to the blog on our public site at www.onewebday.org (with permission, of course).
  • Chat with other my.OneWebDay.org members online. Chat is always available in the lower right corner.
  • Check out our resources for your OneWebDay efforts. We will be expanding and updating this section over the coming year to help you organize even stronger OneWebDay events in the future.

OneWebDay is powered by your energy and creativity. OneWebDay staff and lead organizers hope you will use this site to collaborate and innovate for the strongest OneWebDay ever, and we promise to stay in regular contact here to help you meet challenges and to support and promote your amazing efforts.

Your Web. Your Day.

Getting started:

1)  Set up a group for your city.  Upload a picture for the group, perhaps of your city's skyline or another iconic symbol.

2) Start some discussions: I recommend sta… Continue
