THE OLYMPIC HANDSHAKE - JOIN IN NOW!
The Beijing Olympics should be a moment to bring citizens around the world together. But the Chinese government still hasn't opened meaningful dialogue on Tibet, or made progress on Burma and Darfur -- and global activists' messages are too often lost in a firestorm of accusations about being anti-Chinese.
We've decided to take the moment back with a powerful, unambiguous message of peace, friendship and dialogue -- the Olympic Handshake. The handshake began with the Dalai Lama, passing through the streets of London, now it's gone online where all of us can join in -- help the handshake travel toward Beijing...

Fantastic idea - nice to see the handshake going all around the world
I seem to have just shaken hands with Georg Lückmann of Osnabrück, Germany. I'd better brush up on my deutschlish sharpish-like!
Agreed, this is a very cool idea. It is a simple visual image that works!
Have joined the action but was disappointed to find my signature was not a full profile, with an avator or photo and location and so forth. Searched the AVAAZ site to find how to complete my profile (I have been receiving their action e-mails for some time) only couldn't find it..............any clues? Great geomapping all the same though.
That's a cool idea.
