It got me thinking…

What if a network of bloggers was formed to do this on a grander scale — putting thousands of poor third-world villages online so that those better off can experience who the people of the villages are and how they live. And the villages could then receive donations directly from those visitors.

Is this a good idea? If so, who would be a good person to ask to organize such a network?
