2015Weekly Roundup 7-3-15, Twitter Top Ten: An NB mashup in honor of America’s birthday
It’s hard work to identify entrepreneurs who are finding solutions and building markets in developing countries. (Certainly harder, for instance, than writing a check to a legacy charity.)

2015Twitter Top Ten – 6-14-15
This week Twitter CEO Dick Costolo stepped down. His exit was expected, considering the pressure from Wall Street and from one of Twitter’s biggest investors Chris Sacca to make the service more user friendly. Until that day comes, we’re happy to curate our favorite Tweets of the week for you.
