\"30hrdaylogo.jpeg\"A group of podcasters in Portland, Oregon have teamed up with internet friends around the world to create a new type of charity fundraiser, a live streaming telethon. Called 30 Hour Day<\/a>, the event begins this evening. It will use streaming media services to deliver the content, the Causes Facebook application<\/a> to collect donations, and Twitter to spread the word. <\/p>\n

30 consecutive hours of music, variety acts, podcasts and other entertainment will raise money for local charity organizations. Will it work? Portland has a deep community of geeks and connections all around the web, so perhaps this group will be able to keep people entertained around the clock.<\/p>\n

Well known geeky guests from outside Portland will include leading international nonprofit tech consultant Beth Kanter<\/a> and author Tara Hunt<\/a>. Charities benefitting from the event will include low-income computer assistance project Free Geek<\/a>, the very innovative Oregon Food Bank<\/a> and Toys for Tots. <\/p>\n

You can follow the event on Twitter at @30hourday<\/a>.<\/p>\n
