Social Actions
Was:Peter Deitz and Cameron Booth
Social Actions is an open source database of actions people can take on any issue. The actions in its database are aggregated from across the social web and include everything from volunteer opportunities to micro credit loans.
Social Actions encourages social tech programmers to develop web applications that intelligently distribute the actions in its database across the websites, social networks, and mobile phones that millions of people use every day. The overarching goal of Social Actions' work is to make the web more action-oriented, or in other words, to make it easier for people to find and share opportunities to make a difference.
Was:Social Actions brings together active campaigns from 29+ platforms into a single open API and search interface. The aggregator uses mark-up in the feeds to identify semantic data relating to the location, subject, time-frame, and goal of each campaign.
