(from GOOD Magazine)

A delightfully diverse selection of material from across the innovation blogosphere:

  • Do-Tell: Michael Karnjanaprakorn, All Day Buffet: A cool little post where one of the founders of All Day Buffet (which is definitely one of my startups to watch) shares some things that get him excited, including the 9th Ward Field of Dreams.

  • Friedman's Bailout Op-ed Piece Unleashes A VC Firestorm: InnovatorsNetwork has had by far the best round-up coverage of the various responses to Thomas Friedman's assertion that the government bailout should be directed at venture capitalists to make smart investments in future enterprises. Great reading.

  • What Does Africa Buy?: Jon at Appfrica pics up on one of GOOD Magazine's awesome visualizations, this one focused on visualized data about the things people spend money on around the world. Nigeria really spends 5x as much as Egypt on clothes?
