Beth Kanter is experimenting with losing weight and solving the hunger crisis, all by way of putting social action platforms to work.

Kanter, the earliest of all early adopter, is looking to shed some pounds. If she were anything like me, she'd commit to jogging every day, do it twice, get bored, and actually gain two pounds by way of shoving spoon-fulls of Chunky Monkey into her mouth in an attempt to binge away the sense of failure.

However, Kanter is much smarter than I am when it comes to a self-challenge, and she's putting your money where her mouth is.

Your money?

Andrew Mason, founder of The Point, explains why he thinks the Internet is bound (with The Point's help) to fundamentally change the way individuals interact with organizations.

Our wonderful San Francisco Net Tuesday Podcaster, David Collin, has posted recordings of Nate Ritter and Jeremy Pepper's presentations from last month's Net Tuesday: Organizing Your Community to Create Change with Twitter and The Point.

Interviews with Jeremy and Nate are also available on the NetSquared Podcast.

Video of both presentations should be available in a couple weeks on netsquared.blip.tv.
