Sites to See > July 25

Check out these links to some helpful sites:

SmileBooks: If you're looking for a way to make a super classy photobook, this is it. While the prices are a bit higher than other printers such as YorkPhoto.com, SmileBooks has way more options and classier designs than most of what I've seen before. When ordering use the Coupon Code BZZFRIEND to receive 25% off all Classic or Deluxe SmileBooks (Offer expires 10/31/2008).

We Are What We Do: Based on the idea that little actions go a long way toward changing the world, this site encourages people to track ways they've helped. Some of the actions include reading to a child, replacing one light bulb, or taking a bath with your honey. You can browse through a list of actions that others have suggested or input your own. One super fun function is the "dare" function, where you can dare other members to accomplish an action toward bettering our world.

The Point: This is a site that makes it easy to organize people towards a common goal. They have 3 types of campaigns: ultimatum ("do x, or we'll boycott"), fundraisers ("let's pay for a new playground in the community"), and carrot campaigns ("do x, and we promise to buy more"). I know several readers are into grass roots, and this is a great way to get that going.
