crowdfunding, microlending

Kiva.org is already well known. Use it to lend small amounts to specific poor entrepreneurs to allow them to enhance their lives. Once the loan is repaid, you can lend it again :)

Kickstarter.com is a newer concept, here you can support projects, initiatives you find worthy. This is no lending, not even investing, there won't be any repayments, nor stakes in the kickstarted entity. Do it just for the kicks of it.. :)

As a consequence:

- the ease of asking, giving,
- reputations built and lost.
