How to navigate Social Edge, use the search engine, post comments, ask questions, register. And more...
Every week, we host two online discussions hosted by experts in the field. This week’s events are highlighted on the homepage.
If you want to see previous discussions, they are grouped by category in the discussions section. You can click on the tab located at the top of every page (between "Blogs" and "Resources").
It is easy to leave a comment or ask our expert hosts a question. Just click on the Add Comment box (you need to be a registered member to post comments).
You may also want to check our Top Discussions in the right column of every page. They are the most popular.
Social entrepreneurs (like Kiva's Matt Flannery) and experts (like Diana Reid) keep blogs on Social Edge, ranging from the inspirational to the practical. It is easy to leave a comment -just click on Comments.
We even have podcasts if you want to listen to fellow social entrepreneurs from your computer. Simply click on the media player and enjoy the show!
If you prefer, you can take Social Edge with you on the road by downloading the audio file to your iPod. You will need to click on the "Download the Podcast" link.
You may want to check our resources, especially Expert Advice, where you can ask experts and fellow entrepreneurs the burning question you have about your own social benefit venture (you need to be a registered member to ask a question, though).
Looking for something edgy?
We have tried to make it as easy as possible to find the piece of information that will help you become an even better social entrepreneur.
You may want to use our search engine. Enter a keyword in the search box located on the top right of every page on Social Edge, and you will quickly get a list of relevant data.
You may notice little logos to the left of each entry, showing where they are located -in a blog, in a recent discussion, in the resources wiki...
Another cool option: our Resources Wiki. Social Edge offers the only encyclopedia about social entrepreneurship on the Internet, available in a wiki format. Use it, like you would use any encyclopedia: read and learn!
But there is an added benefit: if you are a registered member, you can actually edit it, for example by adding an entry if you think it deserves our community’s attention. Isn’t that edgy?
Should you register?
You should. It's easy, and it takes only fifteen seconds.
If you register, you will be able to post your comments, ask questions, edit the resources wiki encyclopedia, post your own job listings and offers... You will be able to interact with our community of social entrepreneurs and experts. You will be able to ask them questions about your work and they will get back to you online. Isn’t it what the Internet is for?
We made the registration process very simple. All you have to do is enter a password, a login name and your e-mail address. Voilà!
You can always come back later to add your picture if you want to be the Featured Member on our home page. Or to add more information about your work so that fellow social entrepreneurs can reach out to you if they need your expertise.
Extra bonus: if you register, you will receive our newsletter every Tuesday. It’s brief, to the point and highlights what’s important in social entrepreneurship and what's new on Social Edge. It’s free. Do not worry: we do not spam, we do not rent our list of subscribers. We just send you a short newsletter every Tuesday at 22:00 GMT.
If you don’t register, you will still be able to access as read-only most of the site (well, with the exception of our members database and a few private areas). That’s nice, and you should at least bookmark Social Edge into your browser’s favorites and come back often to read about the latest in social entrepreneurship.
If you don't have time to register now, you can simply subscribe to our weekly newsletter. It’s brief, to the point and highlights what’s important in social entrepreneurship and what's new on Social Edge.
