Most creative mind?

I see Kevin Rose was offered as an answer to the "most creative mind" question. With regard to my constant quest to get Kiva.org variations cloned, I note that Digg has been cloned to death, but there is no real "second Kiva.org". Matt and Jessica Flannery seemed to have put together the ideal platform to do good on the Internet. Microlending isn't the solution to every single problem we have in society, but it addresses several issues we should all be in interested in: poverty, yes, but also human dignity, hope, dreams.

What do we hope for in rich nations? Better health for ourselves, family and friends if any of these suffer poor health, but then what? Imagine being beyond hope, begging for lunch, dining on the contents of garbage cans. Even in rich countries, there are people in this state. With all the brilliant, creative minds in the world and the power of the Internet, surely there are ways we could alleviate some of these issues and make the world a better place.
