We’re continuing what we’re calling a “pilot feature” here at NextBillion. Each Sunday for the next three weeks, we’ll be running a post highlighting the top tweets that crossed our editors’ computer screens during the preceding week. Our goal is to highlight emerging developments in our coverage areas, while also drawing attention to some compelling voices online.
Each week we hope to serve up an array of pithy opinions, useful resources, new research and innovations – and every now and again, some levity.
If you have any tweets you’d like us to consider for next week’s post, tweet them our way (general social enterprise topics to @NextBillion or NB managing editor @ScotterAnderson, global health topics to @NextBillionHC, and financial inclusion topics to @NextBillionFI). And if you enjoy this feature and want it to continue – you guessed it, please give it a tweet or retweet.
