We’re building a location-aware iPhone app called iVolunteer, a WordPress plug-in, a FaceBook app which lets you share the events you’ve signed up for with your friends, and the ActionFeed.org website.

This is a community effort. Swing by and help us make it easy to make a difference.

ActionFeed.org is putting together an free iPhone app called iVolunteer that will show you volunteer and community involvement opportunities in your area.  It’s about mobilizing people to get their #$#@#$ off the couch and helping out, especially in a year when we’ll see many valuable non-profits go under from the rapid decline of donations.

So if you find yourself watching more than 30 minutes of TV on Tuesday nights, consider doing something more constructive and help us out.    No excuses!  (we thought of using that for the tag line, but seem to remember some t-shirt slogan somewhere…)
