We’re trying to establish a firm social media presence in support of our eyeglass mission. So, naturally, this requires a presence at the most important blog venues, including WordPress as well as Lens Lady on LiveJournal.

Hopefully the messages we promote are going to help raise awareness for eyeglass donation internationally. I also really like the platform made available at blog.com and its international sites (we’re present now in Canada, including Viviti and Bravenet, and the UK, Ireland, German, French and Spanish).

Also, I joined Xanga and Squidoo. Personally, I’m not really much of an internet socialite, but perhaps being there will raise awareness for eyeglass donation, especially in the U.S. where Americans dispose of 10 million usable pairs of eyeglasses every year. I like Squidoo, and interestingly enough, the blogs are called “lenses”…perhaps there’s something to this!
