Social entrepreneurship is not about individuals

In my opinion, social entrepreneurship is not about individuals — and this raises an interesting question: What kinds of organizational structures are the optimal for social entrepreneurs to use in order to build effective social projects? I don’t have an answer to this question — or at least not one readily available — and so that is why I am posting this here.

If my hunch is right, then “social websites” such as twitter.com and facebook.com are not good platforms for building social projects — primarily because they are very focused on individual profiles. I think what is need is an approach that involves more participation from many stakeholders — otherwise there is a risk that a “pet project” of an individual might get promoted above and beyond projects with actual social benefits.

It seems to me that there are no well-known “social entrepreneurial” projects / websites — but perhaps there are simply none that are well-known to me.
