In one of my recent posts, I briefly mentioned "Generation G" -- a growing contingent of Americans described by trendwatching.com, where the G stands for Generosity. These Americans are increasingly "disgusted with greed" and its effects on society and the economy; they long for more generosity, for "institutions that care," and for for people who "share, give, engage, create and collaborate." 

I was talking to someone at the Digital Family Reunion holiday party the other night, and he was really excited about how well his company was doing: they'd received impressive amounts of funding in the short time they've been in existence, and they just closed a really promising deal, which he has been instrumental in arranging.
