Amy Claire Barnes commented on Amy Claire Barnes's blog post I am tole-ranting about: charity "campaigns" on Facebook"Hey Steph ^^
Well, I have a (partial) confession. I broke my Facebook abstinence yesterday in order to contact members of the English Literature Society committee (I needed responses on something sooner rather than later, and emails and texts…"
Steph Davies commented on Amy Claire Barnes's blog post I am tole-ranting about: charity "campaigns" on Facebook"Amy, you mentioned in one of your comments that 'with this apparent globalisation and "communal" feeling comes a crippling sense of alienation. The individual action becomes important for all the wrong reasons.' I can definitely…"
Anna Levy commented on Amy Claire Barnes's blog post I am tole-ranting about: charity "campaigns" on Facebook"I guess it's a question of managing expectations. Not everybody is going to be inspired by a FB campaign into taking action but if even a few people take a bit more interest, join the debate, donate some money, sign a petition etc. then…"
Amy Claire Barnes commented on Amy Claire Barnes's blog post I am tole-ranting about: charity "campaigns" on Facebook"Thanks for your comment Anna!
At present, I don't regularly donate to charity by way of a monthly direct debit, but I do try to give at least something when I can. This is where, on the one hand, such Facebook campaigns are partially…"
Anna Levy commented on Amy Claire Barnes's blog post I am tole-ranting about: charity "campaigns" on Facebook"I just wanted to say thanks to both of you, Amy and Deiren, for your fascinating analysis of this issue.

Deiren Masterson commented on Amy Claire Barnes's blog post I am tole-ranting about: charity "campaigns" on Facebook"Hi Amy, great to hear your feedback too, you have raised some more fascinating and huge aspects. I'm a big fan of Marshall McLuhan - not sure if the name rings a bell but he's a Canadian media philospher (who studied at Cambridge) who in…"
Amy Claire Barnes commented on Amy Claire Barnes's blog post I am tole-ranting about: charity "campaigns" on Facebook"Hi Deiren!
Firstly, thank you for your comment. It's great to receive feedback!
Secondly, you have tapped into something interesting that hadn't occurred to me at the time of writing this article. I'm going to quote you: "I…"
Deiren Masterson commented on Amy Claire Barnes's blog post I am tole-ranting about: charity "campaigns" on Facebook"Interesting article Amy. There is an innate selflessness to charity and a deep personal, human reward to 'giving of yourself' which comes through all work of a compassionate nature where we put the needs of others before ours. I totally…"

On the face of it, it would seem that I am being rather cold-hearted and cruel regarding charities; so I ought to dispel that assumption right away.I think that charities are wonderful organisations, and having volunteered for charity organisations myself (namely Broadstairs Folk Week and VSU) I am in no way blasting the work that they do. I am also not against spreading awareness of charitable organisations and their work. But I have opened up my Facebook homepage this morning to see another…See More
