I’ve just stumbled across another very interesting web 2.0 experiment…this one is called changents.

changents (in beta) is looking to get social & environmental Change Agents from around the world to come to their site and tell their stories. On the changent site, Change Agents can post their stories via videos, photos, podcasts, music.  They can even hold live chat events, etc.

There are quite a few social/environmental web 2.0 sites out there now…so it will be interesting to see how changents evolves in this new space.  I still wonder how a site like this can get the scale it needs to flourish over time…in any case, the platform does seem quite unique (I spent a few minutes setting up a profile) and the for profit company does seem to have some “heavy hitting” supporters.  One feature that I thought was unique was something called the “Ripple, ” which is an online graphic display of actions taken by others around your cause.

I may write more about the site when I get more time…if you have a moment, check it out and send over a couple of comments with your thoughts.  I would be interested to hear what you think.

Have a great weekend!
