Steven Pearlstein\'s column describes GlobalGiving, which is looking to hook up small donors with international aid projects.  Interesting numbers, they\'be raised \$1.5M from 2000 donors, that\'s about \$750 per donor.  It\'s also a great example of the wisdom that\'s in crowds:

On its Web site, GlobalGiving provided brief descriptions of 112 development projects, asking site visitors to rank them on a scale of 1 to 10. About 50,000 individuals generated 200,000 evaluations. Simultaneously, a much smaller group of several hundred aid experts was asked to perform the same task. Of the 12 projects chosen by the experts, nine were also chosen by popular vote.
