I remember leaving for Vegas and making a promise to Joe that I would submit a mashup to the 2009 Change the Web Challenge. The mashup was a map showing where people were volunteering in near-real-time. Many of us are aware of open source software and open architecture, but open philanthropy doesn’t exist yet.

The way I see it, there are many directions that technology is aiding social change work: enabling data sharing, exchange and mapping. We have seen awareness campaigns like World Wildlife Federation’s “wildlife watch&# (next time you see wildlife, Tweet it with the hashtag #wwf!), and news streams like #earthtweet.

We're hosting a contest called the NetSquared Mashup Challenge that I wanted to let you know about, and am hoping that you'll pass on to social changemakers and web innovators in your community. Wikipedia defines a mashup as, "a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool."
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
