Your Social Media Strategy Won’t Save You 2@Bree - I don’t think it’s depressing. If you look through my presentation fully, you’ll see that I’m not saying that these tools are useless, just that we are celebrating the wrong things. I think you’re right on the research aspect. I actually talk about that quite a bit in both my book and in other presentations. Actually, I talked about the research aspect in the Real Estate one I did a day or two before this one. The whole presentation was about that.2 weeks ago

Whuffie at Web 2.0 Expo@AustinHill Of course Sean was there to see it! I think he’s memorized it by now. :) He was there in his orange beenie, so I could conveniently point him out and then was surrounded by as many people as I was after the presentation. :)8 months ago

Citizen Happiness Workshop Part 1: Happiness Defined@tansons I’m not sure I understand. I think there were a couple of people like you in the audience. They wanted an answer. We don’t have ’an answer’. We do have change,though. And if you take both of my presentations together, these are pretty significant change documents.2 years ago

Why Whuffie is Wiser: presentation from IgniteSFThis is most important. If you aren’t having fun, I have no idea why you are doing this. The more fun you have, the more people you will attract to what you are doing. Your goal should be to maximize the fun and minimize the stress.3 years ago

Why Whuffie is Wiser: presentation from IgniteSFThere are probably a whole bunch of things you feel incredibly passionate about. Why not work on those causes while you work on your startup. Why not integrate them INTO your startup? Do well by doing good isn’t just something for Craigslist an Kiva...3 years ago

Why Whuffie is Wiser: presentation from IgniteSFMaking friends with your former ‘enemies’ shows that you are a big person. It also makes you even cooler because you get to offer more freedom to your friends who will totally reward you. Friends don’t lock friends in.3 years ago

Why Whuffie is Wiser: presentation from IgniteSFFriends don’t keep secrets...they are open and trust one another. They talk openly about where they are going and what they need to get there. I would say that Matt Mullenweg’s open development of Wordpress gave him an advantage even in a competitive market.3 years ago

Why Whuffie is Wiser: presentation from IgniteSFPeople who make remarkable products and services gain huge whuffie points. All that stuff before about listening and being part of the community and embracing the chaos? Apple? Um, no. But dammit, they win all of the whuffie back in the stuff they build.3 years ago
