I was so excited to go home, put on sweatpants, and watch bad reality T.V. when my boss invited me to go to a NetSquared seminar this past week. Putting my dreams of eating ice-cream in bed aside I decided to make the 25 minute hike up to U street and check it out. For those of you who don't know what NetSquared is, it's an initiative of TechSoupGlobal.org and in their words: "NetSquared is focused on the intersection of technology and social impact. We create opportunities for all those involved in creating change to connect: whether you are a nonprofit or a foundation, a designer or a developer, a changemaker or an entrepreneur." In short -- they're pretty awesome. But having not heard of them before this, I was not sure what I was getting myself into.
