justmeans social networking

I came across this social networking site that is described as a hybrid of facebook and craig's list for social responsibility. In addition to simply offering networking, the site includes numerous job postings within many of the categories we have discussed in class, including venture philanthropy, CSR, and social entrepreneurship. While there are a number of other sites already in this space (idealist.org, etc.) this site seems to already be moving more mainstream with its content and jobs (grew by 40% in March).

Give it a look and let me know what you think...

Hi Ryan,

To clarify, our 2000+ are different than the nonprofit focused jobs on Idealists.

We have jobs working for private companies, social investment funds, social enterprise, micro finance, etc.

Since you are talking about Social Entrepreneurship, you might be interested to know that 8 Ashoka Fellow led organizations have recently join the group of companies and organizations that make up the Founding Membership on JustMeans. Check it out: http://www.justmeans.com/index.php?action=networkhome
Log-on and become a stakeholder of companies you believe in.

Cheers,

Kevin Long, COO
