Doing Good, Not Just Writing about It
Jeremiah Owyang had a great point on my post yesterday. Why not actually use social networking to do good yourself, not just observe it? After all that's kinda the point of technology giving us all a platform. So I'm urging everyone to donate to the Red Cross or World Vision. More info on Jeremiah's blog. He points out that we're incredibly vulnerable to an earthquake in the Bay Area, so if nothing else it's good karma! I plan on donating. What about you?

New Book
An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.
