Real questions to consider

Prokofy Neva does a great job of outlining a new kind of philanthropy - an outline which was kick started by Friday's virtual world discussion. The full post and comments are worth reading. There is also a podcast. Here are, literally, the headlines of the outline:

1. micropayments
2. accountability
3. participation
4. solicitation
5. combinations
6. feedback/correction
7. presence
8. narrow bandwidth
9. broad bandwidth
10. preservation

These headings mean nothing without the content - I'm just trying to tempt you to go read the post. This type of public, thoughtful discussion of what philanthropy is, what it can be, what it can do (and all the can nots that go along with that list) is just what we need.
