Your thought-provoking...First of all, welcome back! Your thought-provoking posts were missed. I must say that you picked up where you left off with a post that “make ya go hmmm...” There is much here that I’d like to comment on but what rises to the top of the random jam of thoughts is this beautiful, high velocity, and even poetic metamorphosis that philanthropy is going through after so many years of business as usual and “doing this way because we’ve always done it this way….” I once heard someone say that the best innovation comes from the customer…” and it behooves practitioners to use “listening” as the purest form of R&D. Twitter is quite apropos to this notion as its use by the people to become more aware about social issues, meet some of effective practitioners, and find creative ways to “give for social change” is exerting pressure on the seams of what we have come to know as “philanthropy”. I only wonder if the mass of experienced philanthropic practitioners are listening. After all it’s called “Twitter” – what does that have to do with philanthropy? Right? While business-as-usual philanthropy operates in a silo with major worries directed toward dwindling assets (due to a recessive economy or the Madoff types), Twestivals (Microsoft Word thinks that I spelled this wrong) and other micro-philanthropy activities are rebranding what it means to give for change. What other Twilanthropy will follow? Hmmm...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
