NetSquared chat logs posted

Thanks to Tantek Çelik for setting up a wiki for us at NetSquared.pbwiki.com. I have posted partial chat transcripts there on the N2Y2 page. Here’s day 1 and day 2.
I made these transcripts by just copying the log whenever I remembered, so there are some gaps especially at the beginning. Please fill [...]

Mind the gap, part 1

This is the first part of a rant I have been mulling over for about 3 years now. I want to get it up before the end of the event, so I will save my proposal for a second post. Cross-posted at www.netsquared.org/blog/rubyji/mind-gap-part-1
Advanced nonprofit technology practitioners need a place to connect and [...]

Following NetSquared

So NetSquared is going well. As expected: tons of great people and too much information (in a good way). I’ve been posting updates on Twitter, you can see mine and other people’s comments at twitter.com/NetSquared/with_friends
I also started a new “back channel” as the official IRC wasn’t working for everyone. We’re using the [...]

It’s where I first started using Second Life , and it’s where I had the opportunity to deepen my relationship with the brilliant Micah Sifry which [...]

A collective “nice to meet you”

It seems like after every conference I come away with a handful of business cards and the intention to follow up with lots of new people and possibilities. However, my intention does not always translate into action. Although I still hope to contact these folks and/or blog about about all the cool things [...]

Thanks for making it happen with me

So I was recruited to lead a Making it Happen: Tips & Tricks session at NetSquared. I called it: how to be more cause-based, [...]

Whew!

NetSquared was one of the best conferences I’ve been to in years. I kept having experiences that were so interesting I wanted to blog about them but the coolness didn’t stop and I was torn between doing cool stuff and blogging about it. (Yes I am a geek!)
There were just as many cool [...]

Lessons learned

Tim Bishop (aka Geodog) took some great Notes from the Activism session at NetSquared on Tuesday. I think our session “Activism: when emailing your congressperson doesn’t quite feel like enough…” went well, but after attending “Gender and the social web: new tools, same…stuff?” I think it could have been organized much better to have [...]

Business panel

This morning’s NetSquared panel is three white guys in suits talking about their corporate Business Model Revolution. They even said “monetize” – the death knell of any panel as far I’m concerned. Finally I’ll get a chance to catch up on my e-mail. (I also want post some notes from yesterday, [...]

    • Props: #Dook fans <3 women's bball! #goheels RT @DukeChronicle: ...photo of the post-UNC-WBball win bench burning. http://yfrog.com/aussyej
    • @NataniaBarron My sympathies for @oldbie. Driving every day sucks yr life out. I guess telecommuting, carpooling, or bus aren't options?
    • @NataniaBarron Depends on your wants & needs. I gave up my house w/ yard & bought a townhouse, and got a lot more space for a good price!
    • Contemplating my need for equal partnership, and my desire to feel like I can do it all (if I want to). Can they co-exist? Discuss.
    • RT @ryanbeckwith: D.C. shut down again tomorrow for weather. It's like a snow filibuster.
    • @dcm Loyalty compels me to watch, but I feel just as demoralized as the players, and that can't help. #goheels #welostourmojo #kissmygrits
    • Final: UNC 51 - Dook 79. Q: will the men lose by more or less when they play on Wed? #goheels #welostourmojo #kissmygrits
    • Sad to see the UNC women suffering from the same lack of teamwork and effort as the men. Bball is so psychological! #goheels #lostourmojo
