Any chance there will be a update to the post above. I think there have been many changes, especially given the global financial crisis and the outrage of the 99%, that have changed the way social investing and trading is done.

I tried out a socially responsible investing website the other day focused on social responsibility that gave me the ability to check whether my mutual funds held any companies that didn't reflect my values. I screened for environmentally harmful companies, companies engaged in the tobacco industry and companies involved in the Sudan. But I think they had another 10-20 screens. It was free. They just advertised to me. I love these guys!

There's a movement to radically change California government, by getting rid of career politicians and chopping their salaries in half. A group known as Citizens for California Reform wants to make the California legislature a part time time job, just like it was until 1966.

As if there were not enough, I would like to point out a site I'm involved with:

www.prooftrader.com

It is a collaborative stock picking site with an emphasis on writing articles that others' will find interesting, as well as of course tracking users' returns over time. In terms of the accountability, each user is given a 1 - 100 score indicating how well they've done.

Peer following and performance sharing will not protect you from the bubble which technically should be the main goal of any investor in volatile markets. I have been using macroaxis.com for the last 3 months and event thought they are also in early beta, I could get some real leverage from them to be able to reduce market risk of my portfolios. The problem is that you can only see the results of diversification when it bubbles - performance following will not protect you from the big one. Or am I wrong?

Great list of companies with completely different business models in this increasingly crowded space. It'll be interesting to revisit and see how the landscape looks in 12 months time.
