Odds and ends

A few things that caught my attention traveling around the 'net.

Our friends over at Audeamus discuss the three trends in social entrepreneurship we can expect to see this year.

Triple Pundit starts a three part series on the continuing evolution of cause marketing. Are we really beginning to make mainstream the needed move from transactional cause marketing to something much more sustainable and transparent. Great interview with Sarah Endline who started a company that is already there called sweetriot.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Rice over at Fruitful shows us some more evidence that we consumers really will pay more for ethically produced products.

As usual, Seth Godin has a bit of wisdom he calls "Solving a different problem."

And over at Adrants you will find an Australian PSA on child abuse that is so different, it cannot help but be controversial. If it gets people talking about the problem, a PSA is doing its job.
