This week we launched a small bit of new functionality to the ChangeEverything community called nudge. It&#8217;s a fairly simple application:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;you use it to tell the creator of a change or the writer of a blog post that you&#8217;re inspired by what they&#8217;re doing&#8230; and you want to hear more. Click it, and ChangeEverything.ca instantly sends that person an email &#8211; including, if you want, a personal message from you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But the thing I love most about it is that when we wanted to add this feature to the site, there wasn&#8217;t a module available that did this. So after custom-developing &#8220;nudge&#8221; for the CE community, we released it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drupal.org\/project\/nudge\" title=\"Drupal\">free to the world<\/a> as a module for any Drupal site.<\/p>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s community!<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Here&#8217;s a post on the subject from <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200923231418\/http:\/\/www.socialsignal.com\/blog\/rob-cottingham\/nudging-participation-at-changeeverything-ca\" title=\"Social Signal\">Social Signal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love Open Source software.
