Eric Sheptock. Katie Hayes/NPR
By Mark Memmott
On this evening's All Things Considered, NPR's Pam Fessler reports about Eric Sheptock of Washington, D.C., -- a man who's been homeless off-and-on for the past 15 years and is now using a blog, Twitter, Facebook to advocate for people in his situation.
He is, as Pam's story shows, an adept user of the Web to get his message out. Here's a taste of her report:
We asked Pam to pass along the web addresses of some blogs done by and/or for the homeless. She points to:
-- Sheptock's On The Clock. (He's on Twitter here and Facebook here).
-- The Homeless Guy.
-- The Girls Guide to Homelessness.
-- This report from ABC7 in San Francisco about a teenage girl's "blog about homelessness."
