October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when you’ll see more pink products than any other time of the year (unless you’re a Mary Kay salesperson). Although a lot of “pinking” will happen in the corporate space, this is a perfect example of a meme I’d like to see spread around the microblogging sphere.
We’ve covered some large, sweeping memes in months past, like mangavatars and 080808, but this meme has the potential to spread awareness and help save lives through education.
Take a moment to consider adopting a pink avatar for the month of October and help spread the word.
And, for those of you who run your own blogs or websites, take a look at Pink for October, an effort to get websites to Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer and raise money for research.
