Meeru Dhalwala, co-owner of Vancouver's marvellous Vij's Restaurant on South Granville, appears in the Globe and Mail newspaper's One Big Idea with an interesting idea for a social network with a social conscience.

Meeru's idea for a city-operated website that would increase social capital by fostering bartering
might not work, but it is nice to see her pushing for sharing in such a high-profile way in a national newspaper.
