5) What Is Crowdfunding And How Does It Benefit The Economy
This article , From Forbes Magazine identifies that CF is “new” in today discussions, yet it has been around for centuries. A simple definition, It is the accumulation of small amounts of funding in support of a an idea, product or cause from the community at large.

2) Turning to another aspect of CrowdFunding and all that is happening with this new legislation.
The vast potentials attainable for Businesses, Charities and numerous other creative uses of “the incremental funding process”. A very interesting article ...Utilizing the CrowdBuilding component of CrowdfFunding called “CrowdSourcing”. This important fundamental CROWD BUILDING is a basic component of all the forms of CrowdFunding, CrowdSourcing and all the Crwod Enabled methodologies.
The Article:

This article outline the use of the Crowd to design, test and improve computer and mobile apps to enhance the efficiency of the use of energy. By gathering this use data at the meter from participating households, many uses and efficiency capabilities can be now available to the consumer, any where they are and can turn off and on the energy consuming resources from their home or office, better managing their consumption and usage trends. Sounds like we truely are in the “Network Age”!
And Now, the most important News item of the day:
1) SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro to step down
After a tumultuous four years spent rehabilating the Agency’s battered reputation, Mary Schapiro will step down next month as ChairWoman of the SEC. Commisioner Elisse Walters, a career SEC regulator in support of Ms.Schapiro’s policies and leadership efforts, will “manage the store” until approval from the Senate is secured for a long term replacement.
The new chair will need to continue the SEC restructuring process, money market reforms, market structure safeguards, rules to implement the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation, and many other regulatory issues including the bi-partisan approved and supported JOBS ACT 0f 2012, that allows Debt & Equity Based CrowdFunding in the USA.
With the SEC Board now split 2-2, between Democrats and Republicans, it appears that it will become deadlocked and the JOBS ACT could be indefinitely delayed, further limiting the Business community . finding sources of Capital and new Economic Growth.
Let's contact our Congress and make sure this delay does not happen!
