Grassroots efforts to let Congress know what a bad idea SOPA/PIPA is are continuing all over the Internet, and I wanted to make sure people know about them. Fred Wilson is suggesting that people use #BlackoutSOPA to register their protest via their Twitter avatar. Reddit is blacking out their site on January 18. I would encourage everyone to directly contact their Congressperson and their Senators – that will probably have a greater effect than any form of online protest. There’s a long way to go – only 5 Senators are on the record as opposing the bill.
