Episode number two with Michael Manley from Public Good Software. We discuss Public Good's approach to making news actionable using machine learning to identify articles which are connected to the focus areas of charities. Public Good has been able to help a number of charities raise a ton of cash and even find kidneys for people in need of a donation. Summary of Michael's interview is here: https://gist.github.com/michaelsmanley/c1376b3ca40b430506f2393b8286bbb2
The book I was trying to remember is "Geek Heresy: Rescuing Social Change from the Cult of Technology" by Kentaro Toyama.
