Impossible.com
Impossible is an altruism-based social network which invites people to give their services and skills away to help others. Created by Lily Cole, the site allows users to post something they would like to do or need so that others can grant their wish, creating a culture of giving.〔http://www.impossible.com/aboutus/〕 As of May 2013, Cole presented the app's beta in conjunction and with the support of Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales at a special event at Cambridge University. The site has since been launched in the UK and US.〔http://www.metro.us/newyork/news/national/2014/03/11/lily-cole-launching-gift-exchange-site-impossible-com-value-money/〕〔http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/2014/03/impossible〕 It is the first Yunus social business in the UK.
