Scott Heiferman's Notes

Rospars: "That ethos cam from the top-down on the bottom-up stuff"

RT @ghwalin "Hey @Digg @Facebook, framing..is at best rude, at worst sleazy. Stop break'g Internets"

RT @TEDchris NYT: "young people look for signals from society..We have a great experiment before us" http://bit.ly/SE4k

good to see people turning backs to finance & other ways of not really serving people or making stuff -- but concerned to hear: "public policy and public issues have been at the center of things" & "Obama effect: his election as an endorsement of government activism"

we need social entrepreneurialism, community entrepreneurialism, and biz entrepreneurialism ... obama was a community organizer before a government guy!

Ganz in NYT: "Community organizing has become cool" http://bit.ly/CLxMq

@RevBillyTalen: "Now -- the neighborhoods that have the least amount of luxury condos and chain stores are the healthiest.. Neighborhoods are not sepia-tinged nostalgia. This aint no Norman Rockwell here. Neighborhoods, with the gatherings of people who know each other and acknowledge that closeness throughout their day, are in fact the hippest thing going. Neighborhoods are complex, organic, sustainable economies. Neighborhoods are not predator financial organizations. They are better for children and other life. The Rise of the Neighborhoods! - that would be something to spend seven months preaching about"

@fredwilson: "it really is best that companies like Skype stay independent and run by their founders if that is possible"

Steve Jobs ('07): "There’s a lot of things that are risky right now, which is always a good sign, and you can see through them, you can see to the other side and go, yes, this could be huge, but there’s a period of risk that, you know, nobody’s ever done it before."
Kara: "Do you have an example?"
Steve: "I do, but I can’t say. But I can say, when you feel like that, that’s a great thing. That’s what keeps you coming to work in the morning and it tells you there’s something exciting around the next corner."

RT @KathySierra: "if your prod/svc helps people be awesome, you don't NEED a social media 'strategy'" True?
