Uzblog Redux

So far I've had a number of people expressing an interest in the proposal for an Uzbekistan blog campaign day. Among the interested parties was one Robin Grant of Perfect.co.uk who suggested using this model to capitalise on the power of the Pledge Bank website. This didn't seem like a bad idea and so I started this.

The pledge reads, "I will blog about the situation in Uzbekistan, supporting call for sanctions on Uzbek cotton on September 1st but only if 20 other people will too." I'm not entirely sure about the numbers involved. Twenty seems quite low, but equally I didn't want to be over-optimistic. Besides, there's no reason why there couldn't be more participants if the idea takes off. If you think it's a good idea, please support it and spread the word.
