With all the issues out there in America, why wouldn’t you want to do something to help better the general societal goals of the community? Being a Social Entrepreneur is one way to help people.

Being an entrepreneur is in and of itself a job. But a “social” entrepreneur differs from a “business” entrepreneur in that the main goal of a business entrepreneur is to make money. Plain and simple. Whereas a social entrepreneur’s main objective is to further environmental and social goals. The goals usually work to benefit large masses of people. Many things could possibly fall into the category of “Social Entrepreneurship” but the fact that vast numbers of people can be positively affected by one single idea or company.

But on the other hand, being a social entrepreneur doesn’t really need to be a large scale endeavor. It can also be a personal choice, where one person can take it upon himself to do something to benefit one or only a few other people.

TOMS Shoes, Inc. employs the One for One business model. For every pair of shoes I buy, they send another pair to a child in need. The idea of “conscious capitalism” is to create sustainable charity that’s based on for-profit business as opposed to relying on donations or fundraising.
Shoes run the average 50-$60. They are simple and stylish. They look comfortable. You wouldn’t think it’s a business with social concerns unless they marketed themselves as such, which they do. I’d like to try out a pair.

Who reads digg? As an aggregator, digg does not create content, but pulls it in from other sites that do the hard work. This makes for an interesting division between those who read digg first, and then go to the content with those who first read the content.
Digg is supposed to save me time by evaluating, via the wisdom of crowds, the quality/interest/value of articles on the internet. But I’d rather go straight to the source and find out for myself. My network is enough of third-party evaluation that I don’t actually have time for something like digg.

Are you bored? Do you need something weekly to watch and laugh?  Typical Web 2.0, user generated content on Youtube  video, “Annoying Orange” can be your new favorite video. (new episodes come out every Friday).

Everyone’s “least” favorite (definitely my favorite) short movie series “Annoying Orange” is now written on the front page article of the Wall Street Journal.

It started out of this individual Dane Boedigheimer who recorded his voice and took out his eyes (only one side and duplicating for both) and lips, turning them to yellow to match with the generic orange, a fruit. Its obnoxious look and dark humor became instantly a billion hit on youtube.

The article talks about how the creator  Boedigheimer made it into a business, which now sells t-shirts and weekly launches new episodes. He is now making his living by that video through advertisement revenue and t-shirt sales.

This orange is really annoying, but once you see this, it is stuck in your head. You will hear never ending echo… “Hey Apple, hey, hey Apple, hey…”

When you have some word that you do not understand, what do you do? Do you verify what it is by quickly typing wikipedia.org and search for that word?

Wikipedia is a non-profit organization that brings knowledge of thousands together to make itself into a central station for anyone using the Internet.

Some things are regulated and limited to be done, such as editing too many times with a frequent manner.

It gives fairly good information and most of the college and high school students start researching materials on this info base.
