1. 5 Ways Museums are Reaching Audiences Online
There are great ideas in here, from the Museum of the City of New York posting a piece of artwork along with a mystery building on Facebook each week. Respondents are challenged to identify the unknown location and validate their responses with proof. And I love Philadelphia’s Mural Explorer.
2. iPhone Alarm Clock Raises Money for Charity when You Snooze
LetGive’s Snooze is an alarm clock app for your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad that pledges $0.25 of your own money to charity every time you hit the snooze button.

As much as I’m terrified for this individual making a permanent body mod, I have to say, it’s better than a bunch of body art that walks around the streets of Seattle. At least this individual is making a lasting statement for social good, instead of the usual mom-heart thing.
As far as pledging your own money when you don’t wake up… I really like the concept about social good enterprises that integrate social responsibility into their business model and don’t pass the costs on to the user. Something like what http://pungle.me is doing.
