Fall Conference season started off with a bang at the 2011 Mashable Social Good Summit. Let me tell you, when good meets social media, I am a happy woman.

Spring is in the air and the signs that come with the season have also appeared. Ah yes, the new leaves on trees; lighter layers of clothing; the season finales of my favorite shows...And the flood of invites to fundraisers from my friends. Dinners. Galas. Benefit walks. Oh my!

This week , Kim Kardashian will shut up. Well, it'll only be on Twitter and Facebook. And it’ll only be for 24-hours. Because it’s for a good cause, that is more than enough for me.

It could be publicity for The Social Network. Or not. I will say that I am proud of what he has done and hope that the gift is the beginning of more of our social media start ups doing good work right here at home where there are many pressing matters that need to be addressed. Furthermore, I challenge MZ to take it a step further: start a summer or after school program at Facebook where inner-city kids get to learn more about social media technology so that they can become prepared to enter into the field where diversity is still lacking (I will leave this for another blog post).
