A Social Enterprise Report Card: Obama at 100 days: Seth Green begins a great discussion on Social Edge about how President Obama's first few months have impacted (or have the potential to impact) the field of social entrepreneurship.

Web 2.0 Services Shutting Out Developing Countries: Jonathan at Appfrica tears the NYT a new one and writes about how Web2.0's lack of strategy for monetizing developing country markets doesn't mean that there isn't a strategy - just an opening for a more focused entrepreneur.

The Age of Viral Feedback: Umair Haque writes about the power of technology to enable feedback loops that improve business and lives. He cites mobile phone funds transfer service M-Pesa in Kenya, reminding me of how excited I am about the possibility of feedback loops for development services and humanitarian aid.
