I think that second part is incredibly important. We have a way of finding out anything about just about everything now. - Steve Spalding

Very inspiring post Steve, definitely a great result of your thoughts. - Svetlana Gladkova

Thanks Lana, the more I look into it -- the more incredibly interesting projects I am finding that aren't on the radar. I'll try to bring a few more to the table in the coming weeks. - Steve Spalding

Absolutely! Even if internet is full of purely money-making projects, there are also some worthy for caring about people. BTW, have you read Cyndy's latest post on Grassroots fundraising with social media at http://www.profy.com/2008...? You might find this one interesting - Svetlana Gladkova from twhirl

Thanks for the send, I just shared it. I came across another interesting one that the University of California Berkeley is doing. They're using ChipIn to raise money for research projects / social causes. Really great stuff. http://howtosplitanatom.com/tips... - Steve Spalding
