The moment I registered to Facebook is a turning point in my life. OK, that's an overstatement, but honestly, I got back in touch with people I didn't even know still exist and got to share my work and ideas which brought me to meet like-minded people. That means compulsively post things on Ashoka or Idealist's wall.What do DJ Hurricane (Beastie Boys) and Glenn Toby (world's famous financial adviser and philanthropist) have in common? They are part of the Rethos.com network, a new way to reach out to the social change folks!
Founded by Chris Advansun, Alex and Pablo Salzman, three fellow Canadians, this online platform was launched last September. By definition, rethos is a "a revision of fundamental beliefs or attitudes; a shift in focus and objective for a culture or era." That is precisely what Rethos.com aims to create: a worldwide network of like-minded individuals, organizations and businesses from all fields who won't buy into the status quo and who infuse social justice in all they do.
I just created my profile, to give you an idea of the possibilities:
