If “social entrepreneurship” is more than just a time-stamped and faddish notion, then it needs to be encouraged. So to that end, I’ll add another idea to my post on the Nonprofit Ad Exchange & Nonprofit Angel Conference.
The Nonprofit Incubator
In the same way that people looking to invest in early-phase companies have put together business [...]

One of my favorite Arabic blogs used to be Haitham Sabbah’s Sabbah’s Blog. Haitham seemed to be a very passionate writer.

This is a note on the collaborative blog, Alive in Baghdad, from one of their correspondents, Qasem Al Dulaimi, asserting that he had been arrested by U.S. Marines.
The site’s About page says, “Through the work of a team of Americans and Iraqi correspondents on the ground, Alive in Baghdad shows the occupation through the voices [...]
