About me:: I work for an online retail company that invests a percentage of our profits in kiva.org. We're really interested in the concept of social entrepreneurs and creative capitalism. We're very interested in exploring possible new avenues for us to use our business to create positive social change.

Just wanted to let you know that I checked out your recent post on Kiva and MicroPlace and I'm very intrigued by MicroPlace as a possible new investment opportunity for us. Anyways, I thought it merited a post on my fledgling blog as well and I credited your post for my finding it. I also put a link to your post on the article as well. Thanks again for the heads up on them.

I just started a blog as a way to hopefully explore new opportunities and make new connections. I'd certainly love to hear what other opportunities are out there.

I could see your companies (and others) committing to lift the online social activism space in general by redirecting funds to a collection of platforms (as opposed to just one). I don't want to take away from Kiva's corporate donations, but I do think it would be cool if a company could say 2% of all profits are invested in these 15 platforms for social action, or something like that. Any thoughts?
