Award yourself 10 internet points if you guessed correctly
reddit gets called lots of things
We just wanted a place whereyou could find what’s new and interesting online at any given moment
Something we never expected was the strength of this community, which I’d put up against any online community of comparable size.

Then reddit took over. A number of the more hardcore users rallied behind the idea of hitting the same amount of money reddit exchanged in the internet’s (world’s?) largest ever secret santa

The guys at digg, props to the ex-ceo jay, who pushed this through and put our friendly rivalry to work doing a bit of good.

At the time of this slide’s production, reddit had raised one cent over their goal

I’d love to give you a clear explanation for how a team of 7 employees (since steve and I retired, there are now just 4 fulltime devs and one community manager). Maybe I’ll save that for an e-book ;)

This is not a community of do-gooders and nonprofit junkies (they’re there, but these are ppl wasting time at work – that’s why they visit). But because it was a genuine community movement, it took on a life of its own. If you’ve got an extra 4 minutes, I’ve got a TED talk about this. It involves a whale, which is nice.

After selling reddit, I noticed I had more free time without a startup to worry about every waking hour. So I did the only thing I knew how to do – I started another one. This was 2 years ago.

i finally retired from reddit to become a kiva fellow, volunteering for 3 mos in Armenia ( just got back )
Kiva has become synonymous with microfinance for many Americans, which has placed a responsibility on the young nonprofit to educate as it rapidly grows.

The minimum loan is 25, but each $25 feels relevant when it’s part of a grokkable goal (like “Armen needs $3,000”) this is the future of donations.

Fewer and fewer people are going to be satisfied making donations that go to a general fund – it’s not just the millionaires who get to feel in control of their donations.

This is unnerving for most nonprofits, who love their general fund – and who could blame them
but there’s hope
It’s also changed the face of american politics

It doesn’t necessarily mean it will cannibalize donations to the general fund
And thanks to the web, the cost of being accountable for these kinds of micro philanthropists is only getting easier to bear
If we can tell what a total stranger just had for lunch, we should be able to know how our money is being used by a non-profit
