During the talkathon, the Blog Action Day editorial team will select the best participating blogs from around the globe to be cited live on-air. Those bloggers whose work is read will have one hour to call into the talkathon to claim prizes donated by event sponsors.

i'll probably do a post about how annoyed i get whenever i see conservatives try to blame the mortgage crisis on "irresponsible borrowers" instead of focusing on usurious repayment rates, which i think are a bigger problem.

probably not...what would I say? 'poverty is a problem, and isn't it a shame the world just ran out of money'?

Sorry, but me writing a blog post ain't gonna fix the world's problems. Won't even come close.

Absolutely! The problem for me is poverty effects everything and there is so much to write about it. I'll have to try to focus on one thing.

How will this stop poverty? Most bloggers I know are poor.

  The point is to raise awareness across the blogosphere and get people talking about it.
