EVERYONE A CHANGEMAKER™ world, ASHOKA's new signature (sign of nature) is a welcoming sign of a BETTER WORLD! You've caused a BIZARRE BLITZ in quarterback-thinking, for us, Lloyd.

Please explain why your idea/project, is suited/perfect to using... 'media' ...to bring about A BETTER "WORLD"...the entire planet...? Maybe several of the other minds on your team could give their, perspective answers?

Aloha LN,

MASS ORGANIZE DEMOCRATIC POWERS. Wow what a mouthful. But we remain hungry for something more. Please expound on a personal level what you're INSPIRED to say NOW spontaneously, in response to reading this. Why? We have observed mental combustion when asked to be spontaneous & hope this opportunity gives you something new to learn from, due to sharing with the words of our team work, which until now has yet to be enriched by your life.

Live action living,
a.
[teamLEOnardo].

PS: Lloyd, have you seen the video comp. that Ashoka has prepared for us all to submit to? Winner are losers when information is passed yet missed along the way to living better. Let's make the world, ONE, with bizarre creativity. Pacing the Peace WiTHiN Patience~! Ciao4noW!

Maybe you could work with Frontlinesms?

Your work looks great and I hope it might be possible to work together
somehow (BARcampBAR.org is one example of how i would love to creatively
enhance your great work:)

Your software could be used for a variety of uses.

Also
1.
We are creating a self sustaining organisation that will provide a
location for young people to access the internet and collaborate
together all over the world in hard to reach areas and are looking to
produce this with an existing organisation that will benefit too. Could
we run this self sustaining project as part of your organisation as it
would be an extra service that increases peoples awareness of your great
work while facilitating collaboration on projects. Development website
at www.FREEtraid.org. Who should I talk to about creating Open Space
Cafe's with your organisation?

2.
Would it be possible to work with you and DVELO
to enhance your great service?

We have been talking to
http://innovate.direct.gov.uk/
and
http://whowantstobe.co.uk/
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tps/planet-pledge-pyramid
http://apps.facebook.com/pppgame/

about their collaboration models and would love to help others enhance
their great open source software (I understand both sets of software are
open source:)

If it were possible to link this software with the open source
microfinance software people can give/lend money AND give
advice/support/Knowledge (which can be given both ways) AS WELL AS
collaboration between teams to solve different problems in the most
efficient way. The concept is proposed to the Planet Pledge Pyramid here
https://apps.facebook.com/pppgame/idea.php?id=123&_fb_q=1

If this sounds of interest it would be great to use the software to
create a Microfinance collaboration platform that uses this not for
profit / cooperative business model http://www.Traidmark.org where any
surplus funds generated are then invested in NEW Innovative not for
profit enterprise using the same model.

3.
Can I propose the Business structure that creates an aditional USP so
you can beat any competitors in the field.

I would like to propose a way to create an additional USP that will benefit* any organisation by creating the cumulative mass needed to make your business a success by donating 100% of your companies Net profit to innovative charitable work.

*Increased goodwill with the financial benefits that lead to rapid
growth which causes a rapid increase in profit which leads to an
increase in performance related pay for all involved.

This would create a USP that your competitors will not be able to
compete against allowing you to grow rapidly taking market share as you
gain consumer goodwill. This will allow hard work to be rewarded with
performance related pay.

Hi.
I had a little trouble understanding what you were asking and who you are. Is this somebody from my former colleagues at Ashoka? If so who? If so, could you let me know if you are asking for additional information for submission? We were disappointed to only have 50 words to submit in this first round but would be happy to flush it out some more if so requested.

Nonetheless, please go to our website to see more information about my personal inspiration behind Blitz Bazaar (mumbai attacks in 2008) and why we think the emerging field of 'campaign hosting' hosting will structurally transform campaigning & global power dynamics just as email has disrupting communications, ecommerce has transformed retail, blogging has transformed news, and Facebook has changed social interaction.

www.blitzbazaar.com - see the about blitz bazaar section.

You can also see a speech I gave recently at a Stanford conference at the following link: http://www.vimeo.com/channels/socialm

best,
Lloyd

Aloha Lloyd,

Disappointed NO MORE eh? 50 words or less & you've made it into the finals. BUT please feel free to "flush it out some more" for us here.

Thanks for the vimeo! See you in Miami Lloyd. Ashoka is everyone of US All!
Maybe then it will ring the right bizarre bell as to who we are (with/for you).

To Campaign Hosting,
a.
