The Family Research Council is a good example of an organization the has harnessed the capabilities of blogging to increase the effectiveness of their efforts:
As the pro-life message continues to advance, so too does the technology that carries the message. For the past year, FRC has been on the cutting-edge of the blogging movement, extending its influence on life and family issues to the online mainstream. On Monday, January 22, FRC is hosting its second Blogs for Life conference, featuring a star-studded line-up of congressional, media, and Internet leaders.As a participant in the conference, the FRC's support and sponsorship is greatly appreciated and I hope that other forward looking organizations will take advantage of this phenomenal opportunity to learn about the capabilities of weblog technology and network with individuals representing the new media.
