A new friend just turned me on to Kiva.org. Wow. The site reminds me how more and more these days we are seeing the Internet finally living up to its earliest promise and potential and roots as a tool designed to nurture more advanced forms of human cooperation and social organization. Sites like Kiva fulfill that promise. Long live Peter Kropotkin!
