New e-activism tools are useful for all public and political campaigns
Following on from the success of the facebook Causes application, which already has over 2,500 members, TaraWatch is utilising the Causes application which has now been installed on myspace, to further the campaign to save the Hill of Tara archaeological complex from the M3 motorway.
Indymedia users, who support efforts to save the Hill of Tara from the Hill of Tara, are invited to join the new SAVE TARA myspace cause, which was launched in the last week. We already have over 250 members and currently we are ranked:
Ranked 2nd among small Public Advocacy causes in new members in the past week
Ranked 4th among small Public Advocacy causes in new members in the past month

The myspace Cause app is not as functional yet, as the facebook equivalent, and does not allow you to email all members, but it is still a great awareness tool. More features are promised though.
The facebook cause is located at: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/827?recruiter_id=6916545
- We will be using these apps to promote the new Tara UNESCO/ICOMOS petition, which will be launched on Wed 8 June, at the ICOMOS Ireland AGM, being held at at Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland, 8 Merrion Square, Dublin 2. For details see: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/87779
