At happyfrog.ca, blogging is an EPIC undertaking | Social Signal

If you're in Vancouver this weekend, you'll want to drop by the Globe Foundation's EPIC: The Sustainable Living Expo: three days of exhibits and events geared to people who want to live healthier, more sustainable lives.

And if you aren't in Vancouver, you can still catch the flavour of the event, because happyfrog.ca is delivering what may be the most full-on social media coverage the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre has ever seen.

Check it out: text, video, photos and - if I know these folks - probably some audio soon too. They've brought in some of the most active bloggers in Vancouver as part of an open call issued last week. It joins the four-lane highway (that would be four HOV lanes, of course) of channels happyfrog has already built: the frogblog, happyfrog on YouTube, frogwalking on Blip.tv and the happyfrog flickr group.

When we helped build and launch happyfrog last year, we knew our team was creating a valuable resource: a place where people could come to find products and services aligned with their hopes for a happier, healthier community. It's been a thrill to see it take off, and start becoming something much more than just another directory: a hub for news, discussion and community for that rapidly growing, diverse group of people who shop with an eye to an environmental and social bottom line.
