October Net Tuesday SF (10/14) will explore Alternate Reality Game (ARG) Superstruct, a project of the nonprofit Institute For The Future with Jane McGonigal. Join Us!
After founding computmentor to move nonprofits from the habit of storing important membership data on index cards towards database use, Daniel Ben-Horin noted that he's proud to be bringing back the index cards for netsquared. Anytime attendees find something interesting to capture, share or discuss - he encourages us to use the cards.
It reminds me to remember the rules of nettiquett - "remember the human" - in our attempts to use technology to better our lives, we must remember that some of the best solutions were those old analog tools we learned about in our first networking experiences.
He identified seven (eight?) groups of attendees: Philanthropists, international NGO, American non-profits, "infratech" companies, web services companies, digirati, helper "ntaps" - a great group for mixing ideas. I look forward to the next two days.
