What is Blogathon?

Blogathon is an effort by Cat Connor and Sheana Director to organize an event where bloggers pledge their time (24 hours) to blog for charity. The bloggers are required to update their blogs every 30 minutes for 24 hours starting 28th July 2007 at 6am PST. That is 28th July 2007 at 10pm 9pm Malaysian time (if I’m not mistaken).

All donations will go directly to the charity. Neither the blogger nor blogathon.org will ever handle the funds. Each blogger gets to select their own organization to blog for. According to their FAQ:

Any you like! Online donations must be available, with the exceptions of charities based in Malaysia. If the charity you have in mind does not accept online donations, you will have to pick another charity.

I’ve been contemplating to join or not to join for a few days now. It will definitely be a challenge for me, to stay up 24 hours and update my blog every 30 minutes. Staying up is one problem but the biggest problem for me is to think of ideas for 49 posts and to finish each post in 30 minutes.

I’ve read some place that the dateline for blogger registration is on the 21st July. I’m not sure if I’m too late for it but I’ve just registered myself. I’ve sent an email to them. Let’s see how things go.

*fingers crossed*
