You may have read recently in the news about how Orkut, a social network website offered by Google, is being used by drug dealers and other nasties to facilitate illegal transactions. Google has supposedly been working with law enforcement in Brazil to clamp down on these things, which is a good thing.

I wonder if an Orkut or a LinkedIn could become a social network for good? LinkedIn is a wonderful network for finding a job, or finding a prospective employee, or making new business contacts. It would be great if that service or Orkut could cater to people who want to make a difference in the world, helping them to find other people who want to make a difference in a similar sort of way, so that they could collaborate together?

Orkut, LinkedIn, you guys listening?
