Iconocast, a leading site for Internet marketers, has lauched a campaign called Back The Net. It’s a great idea, and I’m backing it. I’m asking all my readers to pitch in. (Yes, all three of you.)

Dana Blankenhorn, writing in ClickZ, has another idea to help small business on the web. I like this idea. In fact, I’m going to put it into practice. I’ll help the first small businessman that contacts me with their web site. So let me know if you can help. And if you have Web skills and want to help out, let me know as well. I’ll try to put you in contact with a deserving business.
