WHAT'S NEW ON CORPWATCH
Holding Corporations Accountable
http://www.corpwatch.org
Dear CorpWatchers,

We recently sent you a note regarding CorpWatch’s participation in something
called the NetSquared Mashup Challenge, as part of our new corporate Wiki
project, Crocodyl.org.

Today, March 17 (Happy St. Patty’s Day!), voting opens for the Challenge. The
top 20 voted on projects will be featured at the NetSquared Conference on May
27 & 28 at Cisco Systems in Santa Clara, California. With your help CorpWatch
and Crocodyl will be there!

We are asking that you take the time, if possible, to create a log-in account
on NetSquared.org and submit a vote for our project, "CorpWatch - Government
Data on Corporations." Our goal is to create social change through
democratizing often hard to find and disparate information on corporations and
the impacts of their operations, via Crocodyl.org. Here is the address to
create an account:

Feel free to email Ian Elwood directly at ian@corpwatch.org anytime if you have
questions. Here is the official voting guide:

After you create an account, confirm your email address, and are approved, you
can login to NetSquared.org. Visit our project page to cast your vote. Just
click "Add project to ballot" on the following page, while logged in:

Registered users can vote for no less than 5 and no more than 10 projects. You
can only vote for each project once. Click on the links below (or copy and
paste them into your browser) to see the full contest entries. There are a lot
of good ones, but here are a few that we think are excellent. Feel free to vote
for whichever you like (but, if so inspired, please vote for CorpWatch!):

Thanks so much for supporting CorpWatch in this contest! The online, open
source tool we will create as a result of winning will be a great asset in
holding corporations accountable (and will facilitate an incredibly valuable
in-kind programming donation to us--we don’t have the budget to do this
ourselves).
