Yes, this is precisely the kind of thing I want to share; not just human interpersonal stories, but stories of how we humans are finding ways to DO GOOD by the environment, other creatures, etc!



I'm honestly not trying to push this, but if anyone else gets frustrated because they find good news and have no way of organizing it and referring back to it (a message board is a difficult platform to do so, as is FB, Google+, etc., etc), I want to offer the tools at both Wishadoo and Our Collective Good.

For example, I use Wishadoo!'s video library as a repository of videos I love and want to refer to from time to time that are inspiring or educational in some way. Others can join and use it, too, and share good videos with others who go there.

For now, I'm using the Our Collective Good platform as a way to organize the various good news articles and stories and tidbits I stumble upon, so I can categorize them and find them later and share them elsewhere more easily. I originally envisioned more of a grassroots HuffPo with people sharing local "good," and maybe I can get others to contribute toward that eventually, but for now it's basically a magazine format.

I need to get more organized (egads, to have more time, energy and resources) and share more of these wonderful things at OCG and do daily and/or weekly "best of" posts and compilations.

Oh, and I also have this directory site I want to develop to include categories of GOOD (I could add many categories to what is there) that can be a go-to resource for good stuff.

Anyway, if you guys have suggestions of how these spaces can be of more use to you regarding aggregating all this GOOD STUFF, just holla.
