It’s Day 11 or 12 or something like that and the Angel Food Ministries lens climbed to #44 today. Right now I’m still tweaking the lens. At first I was adding more content and now I’m trying to pretty it up a bit. Below you can see how I’m adding some colored text and highlighting [...]

My Angel Food Ministries lens is still at #60. I haven’t been pushing it as much, but I’m glad it’s still up there. Having a highly rated lens gets folks who are just “looking around” on Squidoo who are attracted by the name of the lens. It’s also getting Google and Yahoo traffic after being [...]

The Angel Food Ministries lens on Squidoo was built last Monday Night. Starting at the bottom, it made it to #113 on Saturday and has stayed there since. Correction: the lens has now moved up to #74 overall on Squidoo! Can we move it up higher? I say “we” because I need your help! This [...]

Just cuz they’re from MIT doesn’t mean they can do the math evidently. The vaunted $ 100 laptop is now estimated to cost $188 when it hits production. While less than $200 for an innovative, wireless-enabled, hand-powered laptop is a relative bargain, a price nearly twice what the project’s memorable nickname promised could make it [...]

I received this update from Kiva about one of my first microloans – to Va Chou in Cambodia. Here is how she has had to use her loan. Like every entrepreneur I know she made a plan, carried it out, and had to readjust to make the plan work! She actually had to change businesses [...]

I recently wrote about loan delinquency rates on Kiva.org… just a very few days ago to be exact. Today my two underperforming loans were refunded to me so I can withdraw or reallocate them. Here’s the email with names deleted since they won’t participate at Kiva any more. I’m sorry for the entrepreneur these local [...]

Once seed money is lost, it’s lost forever and won’t recycle. I’ve got two loans that are seriously delinquent now and I learn that the organization that is [...]
