September 11^th-21^st: synchronized blogging marathon will celebrate the International Day of Peace. Events include podcasting, activism on social networks and Web 2.0 sites, Second Life social experiments.

WEB 2.0 - 10.000 bloggers and Web 2.0 activists wanted to celebrate the International Day of Peace with a blog carnival. From September 11th to the 21st, peace will be supported with a synchronized blogging marathon kick-started by social network http://www.mypacis.com/

International Day of Peace was established by UN to strengthen the ideals of peace, with global ceasefire and non-violence. Bloggers are invited to discuss peace and current world affairs from their own prospective, inviting readers to continue the discussion with comments, track backs and follow-up posts. They are also invited to review and link to two-five posts published on other participating blogs, creating a fluid hyperlinked discussion about peace. Other events will engage podcasters in a discussion about world peace, with users of social networks (MySpace.com, Orkut, Facebook, etc) displaying the peace dove in their profiles. Further information available on http://www.blog.mypacis.com/

Some projects and tools which are part of this event will then be available on a permanent base. This includes an open source, integrated and multi-lingual social network promoting peace by linking people (http://www.mypacis.com/), and a social experiment platform for Second Life (http://www.hybridlife.net/) used to test social dynamics and improvements in a virtual environment.

“For the first time in history, we are in a position to end all wars by removing the reasons for conflicts” says Frank, a MyPacis.com activist.  “Poverty, lack of democracy and freedom, human right violations can be left behind us, while the world moves toward a fairer, open, free and democratic society. While Web 2.0 activism alone cannot bring us there, this is an effective way to start involving other people in making the world a better place”.
