GivingMarket/GivingNewsBlog

The thought here is to capture not the project data or even the transaction, but to capture bits of the story. To offer an email address where folks could email news of GivingMarket participation that is actually posted online or in the world -- a running record of /LittleIndividuals asking and offering support and also reporting back what is coming as the results of those asks/offers. It would offer an ask/offer template and links to other resources on the one hand, and a blogroll of links to any /LittleIndividuals asks/offers posted online on the other hand. The latter blogroll would be randomized sample of (perhaps) 50 links. More on the nitty gritty structure...
