Just wanted to introduce myself to the netsquared community - I'm the co-founder of the free forum hosting service, lefora.com. Before this I was part of meetro - the location-aware friend finder. Prior to meetro I was at IBM, where I was helping to shape social software within the enterprise.

I'm originally from nyc, been out here for almost 3 years now, absolutely loving everything the bay area has to offer, from technology and open competition, to remote get-aways just a ferry ride away.

How I'm helping...

• Project Lead: I'm the project lead for the Greener One project. We're building out a widget that will help spread the good word of how individuals are helping to make this world a greener one.
• Hosting a Session: I'll be hosting a session with Kristine Molnar on "How to 'Use' your Community. Many organizations have an active community following them, and we're gonna talk about some best practices that social networking sites use to 1) build online community, and 2) get that community working for you.
