Wilco's Favorite Charity: Chicago's Own Inspiration Corporation: Sharon Schneider writes a great post about how Wilco has responded to the leak of their new album by asking downloaders to make a donation to the much loved Inspiration Corporation.

Why the Social Innovation Fund is Right on Track: Andrew Wolk writes a terrific post answering some of the early critiques (or perhaps questions is a better way to describe it) of the Social Innovation Fund. I particularly appreciate his assertion that there need to be incentives and rewards for collaboration if we're going to break out of traditional nonprofit silos.

Stop Pitching: I've been really enjoying Charlie O'Donnell's "This is going to be BIG" blog lately, and this post about shutting up and listening to everyone who can give you valuable feedback about your new startup definitely resonates.
