Change the Web Challenge and Change.org Job Opening

Hi Have Fun * Do Gooders -

Below are two things I thought might interest some of you:

*Change the Web Challenge*

Social Actions Change the Web Challenge will award cash prizes to developers who create the best web applications from the Social Actions API. The deadline to submit your application is April 3.

Social Actions (who I've been doing some Communications Consulting for) is a web-based nonprofit initiative committed to making it easier for people to find and share opportunities to make a difference. Social Actions' search engine connects people with a dataset of "social actions" from 50 websites like VolunteerMatch, Idealist.org, Kiva.org, and DonorsChoose.org. The Social Actions API allows developers to build tools to help people find opportunities to take action.
