Soylent Twitter talk
My talk from Social Business Edge is embedded below (Flash required). About a minute of set-up, but then I get going. No slides. Some nice phrases pop up here: "continuous partial attention means continuous partial empathy" is probably my favorite....
Cool Project #3: Social Business Edge
On Monday, April 19 (yeah, just two days after the UCSC thing), I'll be speaking at Social Business Edge in New York City, a new (and hopefully recurring) event looking at the intersection of business innovation and social media. Certainly...

Cameron Reilly, voice of "G'Day World," on Australia's Podcast Network, listened to "The Chorus" -- the scenario I had constructed for the Futurist's Sandbox panel at SXSW -- and was thoroughly disturbed by the story it told. Disturbed enough, it...
Technology as Political Catalyst
