I want to commend my new Mybloglog friend Jannos, for his most effective use of the Web2.0 Medium. This is indeed the way I personally would want to use the blog medium, to provide concrete help. He is using his blog, his online communities, to help find a missing child. Here is his original post, and here is the update. Help find Maddie.

Maddie is 0.9m, blonde and from England with an English accent. Her hair might be cut and dyed, but her distinguishable features are her eyes. Her left eye is blue and green and her right eye is g! reen with an odd brown spot in retina. She has a small brown mark on the left leg calf. It is going to take just ONE person to notice something suspicious and give the police the breakthrough they need.If you have any information, contact: - The Local Police (in your country) - The Portuguese Police by telephone 00 351 282 405 400 - Crimestoppers (UK) by telephone 00 44 1883 731 336.
