This is rabble.ca's staff blog. Visit this blog regularly for updates about rabble, and comments and observations from staff members, with occasional visits by board members and volunteers. Our staff blog is represented by our website "mascot" Ruckus, the sock monkey, who joined us in 2006. Ruckus cheers us on through fundraising campaigns and membership drives, and reminds us to keep perspective in the midst of the challenges of running an independent media website.

Share your G8/G20 news (we make it easy)

| June 22, 2010

At rabble.ca we are curating G8/ G20 coverage at http://rabble.ca/issues/g8-g20 and we are looking for great stuff from video, to photos, to audio and yes, your observant tweets. http://rabble.ca/issues/g8-g20. is the special section of our website where all of our coverage is combined, plus we have extra curated information, links and more. You can also find our G8/G20 issue page under "search by issues" or the drop down menu "issues" from the home page: http://rabble.ca

Video: If you have video you can load it straight to us through YouTube Direct. This application allows you to share video with rabble directly from your YouTube account - benefits include that you share whatever specific video you want, and maintain control of the video. A direct link is on our G8/G20 page: Direct link at http://rabble.ca/issues/g8-g20 .

Photos: The best way to get your photos immediately into our Flickr photo pool is to join our G8/G20 group. You can do so by going to (guess where?) http://rabble.ca/issues/g8-g20. If you do not have your own Flickr account and would like to share photos, please contact Kristen at storm78@rabble.ca to coordinate.

Audio: The rabble podcast network will be standing by all week-end for your audio submissions. If you haven't already, please contact Meagan at <mailto:meagan@rabble.ca> to coordinate.

Tweets: We want to share you tweets! If you have a twitter account and plan to be using it during the G8 and G20, please email Jennifer jenn_hen@hotmail.com so that she can add you to our twitter list!

And if you have a news story please write to editor@rabble.ca (but please be patient we gets lots of mail)

An odd thing happened to me today; I think it's G20 related.

Entering the Blood Donor Clinic on College St. as I have dozens of times before, I was for the first time ever confronted by a security guard demanding I.D.

What's that about? Staff seemed embarassed, but weren't really forthcoming.
