Google is amazing and I'm sure you will see something similar to this idea in the future
Cool site! Thanks for linking
haha, wouldn't be surprised. Actually I'm surprised something doesn't exist already...
Great link, I particularly liked the world population one.
I'm sure the Google Earth team is working on something already :)
Great point Ben.
Sounds great - but I think your description of it as 'a toy' is quite telling.
Recent technological developments have tended to foreground 'how' and not 'what' information is shared. A tool like this needs to work from a platform of effective, qual…
This is a pretty interesting concept. Whether or not it is actually possible to do I don't know. I have heard of businesses being able to invest in technology that predicts future outcomes if particular events were to occur, and this sounds pretty s…

The Problem with SROI
The Problem with SROI
Excerpt from SVT-On-Impact
Few terms evoke such a passionate response in the impact management field as “social return on investment” or “SROI.” It’s not so much the idea itself that sparks debate, but the varying interpretations of how the term should be translated into practice. Perhaps in part the tension comes from conflating the generic concept of social return with conventional (financial) ROI or wi… Continue

Sharing the Wealth (of Knowledge)
Meetings. Conferences. Dinners. Gatherings. Scheduling. Airlines. Hotels. Expenses. Such is life on the road.
Why do we do this? What draws us to go far out of our way to convene face to face? Is it the thrill of travel? The exotic locations? Meeting friends and colleagues in person?

But what about the in… Continue

Taking Off the Goggles - SVT on Impact
The world’s leaders have convened the world’s top economists and financial engineers to come up with a solution to the global economic crisis. Unfortunately the tools economists and financiers use are, in a nutshell, designed to create an economy that generates short-term financial value. Yet in our derivative-and debt-laden world, short-term financial value creation has increasingly been divorced from the underlying basis and drivers of financial value. So, truly solving the current crisis is v… Continue

Hi Cindy;
What a great job...
I have been teaching online for ten years and discovered that online tutoring is as good as face to face teaching but I think students need a space to share ideas, discuss issues, etc.
