I have used social media to help raise the money for her tuition through the Sharing Foundation in 2007 and 2008. Cambodia brought me my two beautiful children and I felt strongly that we should give back to the country in some way. My motivation was a simple act of reciprocity (not what you might read in some of these comments ).

I could point to the Haiti disaster as the tipping point in cell phones -- for the increased engagement with donors, and more importantly, for the contributions of information from survivors. While I was on sabbatical at Tuck/Dartmouth in the spring of 2008, I wrote about the things I learned from students and colleagues.
