Lists... Lists... Lists...

Forbes recently published the Top 30 social entrepreneurs. I'm not sure about the print version of this issue, but reading the articles online on Forbes.com, I really didn't understand the criteria used for selecting the 30. They are of course doing amazing work - but why those 30?

By biggest reason for wondering that is that I find it surprising that almost all of the organizations on that list have been founded by Americans (though many of them do work globally). They really didn't find any outstanding organization in one of the 100+ developing countries worthy of making it on the list? Maybe they couldn't which is fair. And I'm not suggesting that there needs to be some sort of a "quota" or "reservation" system while creating the list and make sure that at least a certain % of organization listed on it have to be founded by a native of a developing country.

I'm just curious because working in the social sector, there are definitely some organizations that come to mind that I feel should have been on there.
