Topics:

White House Officials Discuss Plans for Social-Innovation Office: The Chronicle of Philanthropy publishes an interview with leaders of the White House Office of Social Innovation. I'm still hopeful, but I'd be lying if I said I had any idea what they actually planned to do, even after reading this.

Africa's Crunchbase Back Online: Another very cool project from the Appfrica folks, an open database of African technology companies called Afridex.

The Top VC Blogs (According To Google Reader): A great list of blogs by venture capitalists. For those of you for-profit social entrepreneurs out there, a great way to learn about a related industry.

Nathaniel Whittemore is the founder of Assetmap. Previously he was the founding director of the Northwestern University Center for Global Engagement.
