But collective action isn’t enough unless there is collective impact. How does one measure that?

What about you?

I loved what he said about Premal Shah - that he wanted to apply for a job at Kiva after hearing him speak. is about building a bridge between two-way online communication and offline actions and impact. Kiva is at the intersection of money and meaning. There is a third access - it is not about ROI or social impact.

Godin used (as Tom Watson said it), " the Ashton Kutcher Metric of Social Change - not yet proven, only a theory!"

Started with an idea two years ago that the web is important because it helps people organize for themselves and impacts how we make things work; but in order to make that happen you have to bring people together who are interested in making it real. What can we do with groups like Kiva? Social Innovation Camp: the story so far.

Make it social (leverage the impact of the group). Make it tangible (participants should feel like they have made a direct impact). Organizations like Kiva and Dining for Women demonstrate these principles well. It is relatively simple to make a donation using Kiva. Make it personal (create a human-to-human connection).

Advertising online tends to be hard to target and doesnt seem to have the same type of impact as direct mail.
