Social Venture Network Archives

Two days ago I flew from Boston to JFK (my taxi was 30 min late and I was blessed to have the best host ever – Jon Garfunkel who drove me to the airport) to make a morning presentation on Corporate Social
I headed to a presentation facilitated by Joe Sabilia my friend from the Social Venture Network – on Communicating Your Companies Values: How Corporate Social Responsibility Impacts the Bottom Line.
On the plane I was scanning the Guide to CSR Communication.

According to a poll released by the Cherenson Group, almost 80 percent of adults say they would rather work for a company with an excellent reputation than for a company with a poor reputation, even if the company with the poor reputation offered a higher salary. (p. 13)

Tying this back to this morning’s experience. I really wish I could give the taxi cab company demerits for not picking me up.

So I have had a whirlwind of a week (for the third one in a row). I began at the Social Venture Network in Tuscon. There were some cool companies there like Peter Strugatz’s Ice Stone, Zak Zaidman of Kupali, There was Greg (founder of Odwala) and his new Juice Company Adina (really tasty) Peacekeeper Makeup, indigenous designs (actually good looking organic cloths)
The internet Identity workshop went Great! There are pictures here at Meng’s site and on flickr.
Before TagCamp I had a good meeting with a client of mine – opinity.com. I got decked out for Tag Camp 🙂
At tag camp I had a good time – although I was a bit ADD flitting between sessions. I was honored to be asked facilitate the closing circle.
I got to share i-tags wiki. It was great to get that out there finally. I was the one who introduced Mary and Drummond. As soon as Mary explained to me how technorati tags worked – I thought that XRI might fit in perfectly. They being more technically savvy then I have put a bunch of work into innovating a way to have open tags really happen.
