Inspirational innovators from philanthropy: from HuffPost’s Game Changers

HuffPost’s Game Changers celebrates 100 innovators, visionaries, and leaders in 10 categories who are harnessing the power of new media to reshape their fields and change the world. With your help, we’ve picked 10 people who are changing the game in philanthropy. We honor and salute them.

Huffington Post runnings its Game Changers programme, asking people to vote for the innovators in media, green, politics, business and other areas. I’m looking forward to taking a look at them all but highly recommend you start with the philanthropy section, where innovators behind initiatives from Kiva to a social network for philanthropists are celebrated.

Lots of inspiration here, whatever your field…

It wants to take charge of it so that it can be made into a medium more hospitable to its interests.

Cory Doctorow taking apart three strikes legislation makes many good points in this article.
