| Douglas McGray, a fellow at the New America Foundation, has written a good profile of Pierre Omidyar and Jeff Skoll entitled Network Philanthropy. The article is not a critical evaluation of their approach to philanthropy. Rather I think it succeeds in capturing the culture and the character that the two eBay billionaires bring to their social change work. If you want a feel for a leading aspect of "new" philanthropy - with its emphasis on markets and networks - this article is a good place to start.
