		<description>Dear people of Ireland,

Please vote today with &quot;NO&quot; reg.  the &quot;Lisbon Treaty&quot; This hole paper is just a crime. 
I wrote this message from Germany to you. One of the most unfree countries in the EU. We Germans like a lot of another European countries having not the chance to vote our opinion about this 
criminal EU organisations and his criminal intend to bring the rest of the almost free European
countries like you.. my dear lovely Irish people.. into a system of EU dictatorship and total political control.. 

Fight for your freedom and political self-administration and even by doing this for &quot;Our&quot; freedom and political self-administration.  

Vote - &quot;NO&quot;

All my best

		<description>How about a collaborative Public Libraries service - assists in fulfilling a social need - access to information that is free to the user when the library is open and if you can&#039;t get to it, or when your local library is closed?  Access to local information, informal learning, formal learning, and is socially and digitally inclusive:  http://www.askalibrarian.org.uk

		<description>@Hannes

Thanks for mentioning www.emailcharity.com

Btw, you can get a better overview of the organisations participating if you switch the region to www.emailcharity.com/at/ since the site is mostly for the german-speaking region so far.</description>

		<description>hallo mike!

i´d also propose the austrian start.up:

http://www.emailcharity.com/uk/

they provide a service to raise funds for charitable causes of your choice by adding ads to emails.  e.g. recently used by www.lifeball.org

		<description>I think Peuplade would fit the bill:
www.peuplade.fr/
BBC wrote an article about it a couple of years ago:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/6233429.stm
Unfortunatly available in French only up to now. I would love to see the creators of Peuplade make an English version. Meanwhile, I have been looking for something similar in English for years now and tried a couple of website, but didn&#039;t find anything that good.
I know School of Everything and I really like the concept but it feels like its spirit is getting lost amongst the many users who are just using it to sell their services.
Peuplade is even more interesting and successful and has kept a feel of a social network &quot;with a difference&quot;.
My vote goes to Peuplade, even if it is not in the list yet (and I am confident many French votes would go to it if it was on the list).
I will post this to TechCrunch France (TCFR) to see if other would like to see Peuplade in the list too.</description>

		<description>Dejan - this is Shafqat from NewsCred here. Just wanted to clarify something very important: you mentioned that *we* decide what&#039;s credible. In fact, it&#039;s the exact opposite. Our entire philosophy is based on the fact that news readers should be given a platform to voice their opinion on the quality of news. We provide a channel for people to read, discuss and rate news articles, journalists and sources. 

We always appreciate feedback and any constructive criticism. But leaving our particular product aside, surely you will agree that free, credible and unbiased news is a cornerstone of democracy. The events of recent weeks have only highlighted how important it is for our society to have access to accurate news about the events that are shaping our world.

We are very conscious of this significant challenge and are deeply concerned with finding a solution to the issue of media credibility, whether the news is produced from major mainstream sources or independent citizens in the streets. It&#039;s not an easy problem to solve, but I hope you agree that it&#039;s an important one.</description>

		<description>Hi Paul, I&#039;ve read it and concur. I am very interested in your project, and do think you guys are doing a great job with both (&amp;SICamp)

I am raising a very important question here, of a social value of online tools, that I think will haunt me for a long time. I see SICamp, as a concept, truly a social innovation - giving people the chance, tools and support to do other things for common welfare. If that were to be empowered by an online tool for all to participate, wouldn&#039;t you say it belonged in this category? The point is that it has a strong background and an idea that overcomes &quot;tools.&quot; 

I can&#039;t see that so clear with School of Everything. It&#039;s in the right category as for what it wants to become but I think the background concept should be strengthened a bit more to be truly sustainable as a social idea.  

This category is among the shortest ones here and I think the reason for that is the lack of understanding of the differences of tools and social innovations. Once we figure that out, it will for sure be easier to build tools that will support those ideas, for a greater good I hope =)

I&#039;ve just put up a blog post on the topic, why a &quot;tool&quot; should be considered different than a social innovation, so I won&#039;t repeat myself → http://blog.aleveo.com/

All the best and good luck with both projects, I&#039;ll be following.

		<description>I&#039;ve given a suggestion with the first post (Aleveo). Taken the category stays so diversified, here are some other suggestions:

http://bushfirehousing.org
http://www.arkchangeyourworld.com - online shop as a social innovation

I hope it helps!</description>

		<description>Hi Dejan,

Here&#039;s a bit more about what we&#039;re trying to do with School of Everything:

http://schoolofeverything.com/about/thebigidea

We&#039;re certainly not just trying to aggregate teaching ads as you suggest. If we succeed we&#039;ll have changed the way education is organised for the better and that for me is what social innovation is about.

Also would be interested to know what you think of Social Innovation Camp (http://www.sicamp.org).

All best,
Paul (School of Everything)</description>

		<description>Dejan - you do a lot of talking but not a lot of suggesting. I am willing to add companies to the poll if you list EUROPEAN ones which I think fit the awards. You have 1 hr.</description>
