Enspiral: Changing the Way Social Entrepreneurs Do Business While its been described as a "sort of a 'DIY' social enterprise support network," Enspiral’s global impact has proven to be much more than that.

> SHARING CITIES

Dispatches from the 2nd Global #MapJam. From Australia to Sweden, we’ve pulled together report backs from nine of the most exciting #MapJams from the last few weeks.

> TECH

Falling Fruit: Mapping Free Food Around the World. With edible plants and trees mapped out on all seven continents, in 51 countries and 1,500 cities this open source initiative has (rather quietly) become a global phenomenon!

> COOPERATIVES

Michel Bauwens on the Rise of Multi-stakeholder Cooperatives. The bar for social transformation has been, raised and multi-stakeholder coops are now “where the action is.”

> HOW TO

How to Host a Cash Mob. Think flash mob but instead of dancing, you’re spending money to help give back to the local economy.
