Kiva is awesome! I love them so much I am thinking about asking for Kiva credits instead of doing a wedding registry. I like this topic a lot. We have so much technology doing a whole lot of nothing in the echosphere we call Web2.0. We should be working hard to inspire others, not to repeat them. I think social networks designed to put social change orgs in better touch with each other would be welcomed with open arms. Imagine if you could have some kind of list of skills and goods to barter between big groups that was verifiable and transparent! When I google corn, maybe I want to know how much there is and WHERE it is and who needs it the most. Also, I have to mention Second Life here for a moment, because they get so much bad press but there are a ton of lovely people using it for social change. They host all kinds of meetups and charity rallies. This year, their relay for life event raised over $200,000 USD through both cash donations and digital creations put up on the block. That is, people created something cool that doesn't actually "exist" in real life, and sold it to change something that does. Keep on with this topic! You have a lot of ears and could do some real good with it. Woo! Kiva is awesome! I love them so much I am thinking about asking for Kiva credits instead of doing a wedding registry.

I raise money for short-term and long-term projects/investments with Firstgiving fundraising pages and encourage others to do so as well. For example: www.firstgiving.com/bapbwm. Easy, and efficient, I use social media to raise awareness and money simultaneously. re: Money never hurts.
