Live from New York… It’s SOCIALMARKETS!
At long last we are releasing socialmarkets into the wild!
This is a beta release, covering much but not nearly all the functionality we want to build into the site.
As always, our focus is on SROI (Social Return on Investment) but in this release, we are particularly focused on how crowdsourcing figures in to the calculation of SROI.
We are capturing our user’s opinions on which social projects deliver the greatest social returns. The more user input we get, the better our result will be - so please visit us and add yours!
Here are the highlights of what you can do on the beta site:
- Find links to some basic research on SROI
- Find out about some nonprofits, including the outcomes used to measure their success
- Use our Rate-O-Matic to rate how valuable you think nonprofit outcomes are
- See how other users have rated nonprofit outcomes
- Vote up or down the SROI of individual nonprofits
- Donate to nonprofit projects you want to support
- See how your nonprofit “investment portfolio” compares to those on our Leaderboard
We are allowing access to the site in stages. Anyone can tour the site, but an invite code is required for full access. Here on the blog we are announcing the first public invite code: BLOG.
Please visit us at http://beta.socialmarkets.org and use the code BLOG to register.
We would be grateful for any input you have, from your opinion on social outcomes, to the value of our approach and its execution on the site.
There is a short survey at http://bit.ly/7wvBE, and you can always send us a note at info@socialmarkets.org.
We hope to hear from you!
