Holy smokes, I didn't realize there were so many new bloggers.

I've been following Christine's blog via RSS since I first noticed it several weeks ago. I love that Christine brings experience from a firm as successful as Microsoft to the realm of social entrepreneurship... I think that particular combination of experience & business goals is still in the "early adopter" stage and it is hard to find good information, let alone good blogging, by anyone with both. Most social venture blogging I've seen is heavy on the 'social' part but lacking in practical business sense.

Kudos to Christine for forging ahead with some really exciting work, and to the folks at StartupNation for seeing the value in what she's doing. There's a lot of money to be made in making the world a better place!
