Really like the parts especially on social networks and business model. We have a similar challenge at UnLtdWorld, when trying to communicate how we're not a social network, but a community, and above how social entrepreneurship is not a special interest, but a defined market. Shame we didn't catch up at SXSW: http://www.flickr.com/photos/95351900@N00/sets/72157604124674173/ Great post!
