Here's the list: http://tinyurl.com/ykvdamb A lot of the people who post comments on Globespotting are angry about one thing or another, which, of course, disappoints me. I hope my blog can build bridges across cultures and continents.

  • Kiva Plays Loose With the Facts

    Updated: 2009-11-09 19:26:48
    Kiva.org has been one of my favorite social enterprises even since I started lending small amounts of money to poor entrepreneurs in developing nations a couple of years ago. To me, what was so compelling about it was you could read little stories about entrepreneurs then choose the one you want to back. At least that's what Kiva said was happening. Turns out, that was a fiction--in most cases. Instead, Kiva channels money to micro-finance organizations that have already made the loans. I read about this outrage today in a story in the New York Times. The person who exposed the fiction, David Roodman, laid out his findings in a blog posting. A more charitable person might forgive Kiva.org for misrepresenting how its model works. But not me. Social enterprises should be held to an even higher standard than are for-profit businesses--not a lower one.

  • Help with Story About Government Effectiveness

    Updated: 2009-11-02 14:29:01
    I’m working on a story about the Obama Administration’s efforts to make the federal government more effective and efficient. Over the past few months, the USCIS has made a series of modifications to its Web site to make it easier for applicants for green cards and citizenship to find out the status of their applications and understand what is required of them. I’d like to speak to one or two people who have had extremely frustrating experiences in the past with the case-tracking system—to speak to them about those experiences and find out if the new system is any better. Please e-mail me at steve_hamm@businessweek.com. Also, feel free to comment on this blog posting.
