"What is impossible?
A global community who help each other out. People share their time, skills and objects.
Build valuable profiles —
impossible gives you a place to record your acts of kindness
(complementing your LinkedIn/Facebook profiles). We reckon it’s easier
getting a job or a partner or a friend if people know how kind you are.
Thanks currency -
impossible users earn Thanks when they give to one another, a social currency that can be used with some impossible partners.
Is Impossible a business or a charity?
Impossible is a social business which means that no private dividends are allowed, and 100% of profit goes back into Impossible."
This has been going for a year and I just found out about it. Lily Cole started it. Seems to have a good reputation.
Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
