As the site evolves, it will bring fresh and thoughtful commentary on how members can make change—big and small—occurring the world-over and share their personal inspirations. The interactive community will feature and encourage comments and feedback from the readers and will incorporate Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social media applications. The inspiration for the project name derives from the Latin word, NOVO, meaning refresh, revive, create, invent and change.
