During the last few days we have been bringing a few amazing projects that appeared on NetSquared in 2011 to your attention. This blog post is the last in the series. We want to introduce you to the SMS Micro Loans idea. Daniel Schiffman wanted to combine mini-loans and ICT while working on his Master thesis. He described and researched the project (and posted it in the NetSquared Projects Gallery), but hasn’t been able to find the funding to bring the idea to life. He still believes in the project though, and so do we. Reading this interview you can learn more about SMS Micro Loans and David himself. If you want to connect with him, please let us know in the comments or reach us using one of our social media channels (Twitter or Facebook or Google Plus). Thank you Daniel for taking time to answering our questions!

Yesterday, we told you a little about Expert Patient, a patient advocacy system created by Manuel Gill and submitted to the NetSquared project gallery earlier this year. Today, we’re talking Earth Tipping Point, another project that caught our attention in 2011. ETP is a network and collaboration system focused on implementing environmental ideas and solutions, and it crossed through the NetSquared project gallery a few months ago.

The first project to appear in our “reflections on 2011” blog series is Expert Patient 2.0, a project submitted to the NetSquared Project Gallery in June 2011. To better understand the idea behind the project, and learn more what happened since it was submitted to the Project Gallery I talked to Dr. Manuel Serrano Gill, an M.D/Ph.D from Spain who is a president of the Education Health and Society Foundation -- a non-profit national institution, based in the Murcia Community in Spain.

You know what we like, here at NetSquared? We like social innovation projects. We like it when you shake things up. Nothing warms our hearts more than seeing the creative, innovative approaches to leveraging technology for social change that imbue the NetSquared project gallery.

From saving the environment to saving time, NetSquared project champions are making a difference.

So as 2011 draws to a close, we’ve been digging through the NetSquared project gallery on the hunt for projects that were submitted (or updated) in the past year -- and we want to take a moment to highlight them here on the blog. Here are a few we’ll be telling you about over the next few days:
