Topics:

Comparative Advantage and Corporate Philanthropy: Jessica at Reimagining CSR writes a great post that makes a similar point to what I wrote about Larry Brilliant and Google.org a few months ago, basically arguing that corporations should be thinking about the unique and differentiated capacities they have, and build their philanthropic programs around those assets.

The Girl Effect and Philanthropy: It's a family affair, as Jessica's bro Sean writes a great post about new Corporation for National and Community Service CEO Maria Eitel's knowledge about how to spread a philanthropic message.

Swineflu.Ushahidi.com: Ushahidi experiments with real time tracking of Swine Flu.
