Suzanne Skees: The Real Motivation Behind Going Public in Philanthropy: "Glancing through the list, one wonders whether any of these folks seek to boost their public image or secular power by pledging their intent to donate half their wealth. What do Paul Allen (Microsoft), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Vinod and Neeru Khosla (Kleiner Perkins/Khosla Ventures), Ted Turner (CNN), and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) stand to gain by taking a public stand?
Perhaps they hope for something we all crave: human connection. We've all known the feeling of joy that surges inside when we've held the door for someone, paid the toll for the car behind, or hosted a holiday dinner worth all that cooking."
