About We believe in the equal and inherent value of all human life. We believe that a worldview bound by borders is outdated and that stopping injustice anywhere is the responsibility of humanity everywhere. We call this ethos Fourth Estate. Story Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army have been abducting, killing, and displacing civilians in East and central Africa since 1987. Invisible Children focuses exclusively on the LRA conflict through an integrated four-part model that addresses the problem in its entirety: immediate needs and long-term effects. We create films to document LRA atrocities, introduce new audiences to the conflict, and inspire global action. We mobilize massive groups of people to support and advance international efforts to end LRA atrocities. Protection We work with regional partners to build and expand systems that warn remote communities of LRA attacks and encourage members of the LRA to peacefully surrender.
IfItWereMyHome.com Feed The Poor Phil is a painter who found himself out of work during the recession. It seemed that everything was against himks thinking they can get free labor out of a man in desperation. Every day after holding his sign or working a job, Phil walks to a local grocery store and purchases a large bag of cat food and walks the nine blocks back to his house stopping to feed local strays. When Phil comes walking down the streets homeless kitties from all over come running to find him. When he makes it back to his house he cares for his wife who suffers from numerous illnesses. Phil and his wife have lived in the same home for years and Phil has desperately fought to keep them in this home, giving up little luxuries and making big sacrifices, even going days without food, so his wife would not have to live outside, which would be extremely dangerous in her condition. Phil's landlord has told him that he can't be late on rent again or he'll begin the eviction process.

What’s Your Shoe Personality? Last Updated: 4/04/2014 16:08 PST “Why do you need so many shoes?” If you’ve ever been asked this question by a guy, you’re probably going to love a great new Web service called JustFabulous. Born from a deep appreciation of a woman’s relationship with shoes, the website is dedicated to the needs of the average shoe addict. Why are so many women addicted to shoes? But, there’s also something more about shoes—when you’re feeling down and need a pick-me-up, a great new pair of shoes often works wonders. JustFabulous seeks to provide shoe addicts exactly what they want when it comes to shoes--namely, their own personal stylist. But, shoe nirvana doesn’t just mean your own personal stylist suggesting new shoes that fit your look and style perfectly—it also means being able to actually afford these styles, and that’s what JustFabulous does. The JustFabulous experience starts with you taking a shoe personality quiz. Then comes the really fun part.
Wat is crowdsourcing - Samenwerken.nu! Met de mogelijkheden van internettechnologie is het tegenwoordig om de hele wereld met elkaar te verbinden. Als indivdu (of als organisatie) heb je niet voldoende aan je eigen kennis en kunde, maar kan je alle talent uit de wereld inzetten. Deze vorm van externe verbinding wordt ook wel crowdsourcing genoemd. Crowdsourcen gaat over het benutten van de kennis, ideeën en creativiteit uit de samenleving om vraagstukken op te lossen. Historie Jeff Howe, schrijver bij Wired Magazine, gebruikte in 2006 de term voor het eerst. Hoewel de term nieuw is, werd crowdsourcing al in de 18e eeuw gebruikt. Stappenplan Twee succesfactoren voor crowdsourcing Crowds hebben een leider nodig. Blijf altijd rekening houden met je marketingstrategie. Voorbeelden Er zijn talrijke voorbeelden. Het logo van Samenwerken.nu! Jan-Willem Alphenaar maakte zelfs een hele film via crowdsourcing, DSB The Movie. Verder lezen Wil je meer weten over crowdsourcing, lees dan onderstaande boeken.

Crowdsourcing Eis optredens van je artiesten! Gaat dat werken? Gaat ze dan komen? Nee, waarschijnlijk niet. Maar als platenmaatschappijen, organisatoren van events of filmbedrijven de vraag naar een product of dienst mede laten bepalen waar een unieke vertoning wordt gehouden, kan het wel een rol spelen bij marketing en klantenbinding. Live On Demand wordt 'crowdsourcing Mojo' Het nieuwe crowsourcing-platform Live On Demand van Thijs Sprangers wil binnen een jaar enkele honderden evenementen organiseren. Dat vertelde Sprangers gisteren bij Fast Moving Targets. Live On Demand , dat net van start is gegaan, peilt de belangstelling voor concerten en lezingen die bezoekers van de site zelf voorstellen. Bij voldoende aanmeldingen besteedt Live On Demand de organisatie uit aan bedrijven als Brand New Live (onderdeel van concertorganisator Live Nation) of Next Speakers. Live On Demand beperkt zich tot ‘fan finding’. De indieners van de verzoeken krijgen bepaalde privileges, zoals een plek op de voorste rij en meet & greets. Sprangers geeft toe dat hij niet weet of het concept levensvatbaar is. Sprangers heeft Live On Demand in september 2012 opgericht.
