Business Journal Quote Re Twitter

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Got a nice blurb in the Business Journal today on social networking:



They asked, “What is your favorite social networking site?” and “How has it benefited you professionally?”

I answered:

Favorite social network: Twitter. True to Twitter form, I’ll explain why in less than 140 characters: Twitter is a fly on the wall: it’s a great source for small-talk topics. What I learn about your life there is a great conversation starter!

RubyFringe Video

My RubyFringe talk just became available at the InfoQ site.

It’s an hour long talk condensed into 30 minutes of fast talk about developers as entrepreneurs, ways of evaluating/trying out ideas, and — probably the strongest section of the talk — how to “hack the market.”

By now, what happened at RubyFringe is well known but is worth repeating: Pete, Meghann and all of Unspace produced a truly singular event. It was a genuine honor to have participated.

If you weren’t able to attend, keep an eye of for more RubyFringe videos at InfoQ and read the good recaps at Joey deVilla’s and Sean Miller’s blogs.
