- TEDxBerkeley’s 2012 Theme “Innovation” Kicks Off Third Year at Zellerbach Hall on Feb 4
Friday, February 3, 2012
Tomorrow, Saturday, February 4, 2012, UC Berkeley will gather world leading thinkers, visionaries, creative pundits, philosophers, academics and doers to host the third TEDx Berkeley Event (a 501c3) at Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall. It's the second year I've been involved in the event and we're thrilled to have a stellar line-up of speakers once again. The theme this year is: "Innovation." 15 ground-breaking thinkers, leaders and performers will cover a diverse number of global issues and topics, ranging from health and toxicity, politics in a new media world, robotics, machine learning, and mobile computing to the arts through life-changing film & storytelling, micro-finance, the gift-economy and “magic.” Below is a list of the 2012 TEDxBerkeley speakers and performers. Visit the TEDxBerkeley speaker page for their detailed biographies and updates. Carl Bass: president and chief executive officer of Autodesk, Inc., the leader in 3D design, engineering and ent … - Leonard Nimoy & Steve Wozniak Steal the Stage at DEMO Enterprise Disruption
Sunday, January 8, 2012
I'm a long time fan of the DEMO Conferences and events and have been attending for well over a decade (since the start of their events really, but let's not date myself that much shall we?). This past week, they held an evening event called DEMO Enterprise Disruption at San Francisco's Temple Bay & Nightclub at was so well organized that it felt like a shorter version of their twice-a-year launch events. (in the states that is as they're now doing events around the world). Not only was the event well organized with an agenda, but they had incredible food (soups, burgers, sauteeds and sushi), as well as a sake tasting station, wine, beer and cocktails. Fusion.io sponsored the event, who touts speed speed speed as their main value proposition. They're a pioneer of a new storage memory platform that significantly improves the processing capabilities within a data center by moving process-critical, or active data closer to the CPU where it is processed. They an … - Israel On Destination Branding: Giving a Place its Human DNA & Voice
Monday, November 28, 2011
Ido Aharoni of New York's Israel Consulate (aka @israelconsulate) spoke on the BrandsConf stage in late October about a project they did to "humanize" Israel. They conducted something they refer to as the "House Party" study where they had survey participants create images of what they saw in the "house" of various countries around the world, including Israel. For example, in the Brazil house, there were images of parties and dancing, in France, symbols which represented romance, Las Vegas, images which represented sin. In the Israel house, there were no images of women and children, but of guns and military. People were not describing normal every day life in Israel, a clear indication that they had a global perception issue, one which could be rectified with clear communication and engagement to educate people on what Israel was as a "destination brand." He asked us, if Tel Aviv were a person, would it be a male or female, skinny or fat, f … - Branding: Unique Voices & Humanization of the Web
Friday, November 25, 2011
Every human being is different. Every product 'being' is different. And, every brand 'voice' should be different. We're talking about humanization of the web. Brands are trying to figure it out and get their "head around" community. Yet, community managers don't necessarily communicate with corporate marketing or PR. Someone said on a panel at BrandsConf in New York City in late October that customer service doesn't belong in PR. I thought, are you kidding? If PR doesn't care about the customer, then companies are hiring the wrong PR people. If PR doesn't live and breathe to make the customer happy because it's something that makes their hearts sing, then they're not in the right job. PR should be instrumental in shaping that "human voice" on the web. How do brands arrive at their human voice on the web? Dan Neely (@dneely40) CEO at Networked Insights, IBM's Ed Abrahams (@ibm), Oglivy's SVP of Digital … - Startups Pitch & Strutt Their Stuff at MUSIC Techpitch 4.5 in London
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
Recently, The Next Web reported 8 startups had been selected for MUSIC techpitch 4.5 in London. After a series of 3-minute pitches and Q&A sessions, Webdoc, an easy and creative way to share rich-media all in one place, emerged as the winner. It took place at EMI’s HQ in Kensington, startups had an opportunity to get the word out about their ideas to investors, one of which was an opportunity to participate in an investment meeting arranged by Par Equity, which is one of the largest investment networks in Scotland. While 3 minutes isn't long (less than half the time of the on-stage DEMO pitches), it is in fact longer than 140 characters. Trust me, I'm a fan of in-depth pieces and features articles; I still have a hard time cranking out short blog posts, yet I'm also prolific on Twitter…tweeting is a great exercise even if you're not a Twittaholic because it forces you to say more with less and trains you to write better headlines. Enuf said. 3 minutes is enoug … - Technorati's Shani Higgins on the State of the Blogosphere
Friday, November 4, 2011
Technorati CEO Shani Higgins presented the annual State-of-the-Blogosphere at BlogWorldExpo this morning. Below are some of the more interesting stats Higgins released in a shotgun array of slides after slides with stats after stats. When Mitch Joel, who has been blogging for about as long as I have, asked "what defines a blog today? Is Huffington Post a blog? Is an economist who presents an opinion on a site that looks like a blog a blog? Says Higgins, "the independent web is what blogs are…." In other words, not necessarily controlled by a brand or a publisher. Of bloggers today, 61% are hobbyists. Professional part-timers make up 13%, corporate bloggers make up 8% and entrepreneurs, which is a new category this year is roughly around 13%. Of bloggers geographically, 50% of bloggers still comes from the US, which apparently hasn't changed much from last year. 65% are aged between 18-44 years old and 59% are male, which is down by 5%, meaning more women are blogg … - Ireland Prime Minister Enda Kenny on Technology at #Founders
Wednesday, November 2, 2011
Ireland's Prime Minister Enda Kenny came to the Founders event in Dublin this past week to talk about the importance of technology and Ireland's commitment to its expansion and innovation as a major contribution to a growing economy both at home and abroad. - StockStreak: A Fun Way to Play the Stock Market
Wednesday, November 2, 2011
Michael MacDougal from StockStreak talks to me about their application at the Dublin Web Summit this past week in Dublin Ireland. Essentially, its a game that allows you to play the stock market. Predict the stock price of ONE of the listed stocks and whether it will go up or down, and whether the next trading day's closing price will be higher or lower than the prior day's closing price. Votes placed after Noon Eastern Time will be counted towards the next day's session. Listen to how it works. - Disruption: How the Tech Industry Eco-System is Changing: Butcher, Ralston, Birch & McClure
Tuesday, November 1, 2011
Entrepreneurs Michael Birch, Dave McClure and Geoff Ralston from Imagine K12 were on the Dublin Web Summit main stage this past week in a discussion moderated by TechCrunch's Mike Butcher on Disruption: How the technology industry eco-system is changing. - Werner Vogels on Dublin Web Summit 2011 Stage
Tuesday, November 1, 2011
At the Dublin Web Summit in Dublin, Ireland this past week, Amazon's CTO Werner Vogels was interviewed on the main stage. Have a listen: - GigaOm Event on Nov 10: How will Connectedness Transform Everything?

Saturday, October 22, 2011
At PopTech this week, Bryan Doerries, a New York-based writer, translator, director, and educator read poetry to us, his eloquent use of language and intonation resonating with nearly everyone in the audience. He is the founder of Theater of War, a project that presents readings of ancient Greek plays to service members, veterans, caregivers and families as a catalyst for town hall discussions about the challenges faced by combat veterans today. Over the past year, Bryan has directed film and stage actors such as Paul Giamatti, Isiah Whitlock Jr., David Strathairn, Lili Taylor, Charles S. Dutton, Gloria Reuben, and Jeffrey Wright in readings of his translations of Sophocles’ Ajax and Philoctetes for military communities. When people are in pain or have undergone crisis, it's important to be able to speak the unspeakable. He says, "Imagine soildiers in Athens, seated in the order of tribe and according to rank. They have come together to hear plays that only those who have bee … - Anne-Marie Slaughter: A New Networked World Means Rethinking Professions
Friday, October 21, 2011
Anne-Marie Slaughter uses a Lego analogy to talk about foreign policy at PopTech this week. Anne-Marie is a Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University and also served as Director of Policy Planning for the United States Department of State from 2009-2011, the first woman to hold that position. She discussed where we started from and where we have moved to, aka from a world of states to a world of social actors. The world of states was the first (traditional) way of looking at foreign policy, something she refers to as the billiard ball world. Today, we live in an networked world. In that world, foreign policy has started to shift, where we are seeing orchestrated coaltions. In a top down colation, the World Bank pulled together 14 of oil producing companies and 4 oil producers to reduce environmental effects. Where we're going however is bottom up: build local and go global. Examples include: From USAID to Kiva From NDI Election Monitoring to Ushahidi … - Iceland's President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson Talks About Lessons Learned
Thursday, October 20, 2011
Iceland’s President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson took the PopTech stage in Camden Maine on October 20, 2011, where he discussed economic crises and how to handle them in a way that will ensure long term sustainability of a country. He used his own as an obvious example, which has not only faced economic issues but natural disasters over the past year. President Grimsson spoke about how he made a choice for his country that would either make farmers, local businesses and individuals take responsibility for their own decisions which would impact the financial health of the country OR turn to/blame the force of the market. He chose to choose the democratic will of the people, which he says, hasn’t brought on the dark results that everyone predicted it would. In his day, he reminded the audience, demonstrations and protests were the only way to get noticed and bring about change. “Now,” he says, “we are now seeing people power in its purest form, enhanced by social media. The fundamental essence … - Historian Stephanie Coontz on Rebalancing of Genders
Thursday, October 20, 2011
Historian Stepanie Coontz talks about rebalancing of genders, the theme of this year’s PopTech Conference. She talks about when and how women not just in this country but worldwide, started to rebalance the power between sexes. It starts happening between genders when women not just started to work but got paid to work. After they get into the workforce, literacy goes up, they get a choice of who they got to marry, and then labor laws changed among other things. If you think about it, the countries with the lowest rights for women are the countries where women have the lowest access to the labor force. Sexual harassment didn’t come force in the U.S. until 1993. Two thirds of divorces are initiated by women. Countries like China have had an 800% increase in divorce over the past 25 years. Countries which are socially more conservative, where women have experienced job independence but not other independence have gone on strike with marriage and motherhood. Look at an example of what hap … - Robert Nieuwirth: The Free Market Vs the Flea Market
Thursday, October 20, 2011
Who’s afraid of the informal economy? journalist and author Robert Neuwirth asks the PopTech audience. He is known for his book Shadow Cities: A Billion Squatters, a New Urban World. His latest — Stealth of Nations — is focused on street traders around the world. He notes that 80% of the working people are not in the informal economy, but something he refers to as System D, aka the Self Reliant economy, which he pirated from the African speaking Africa and Caribbean world. Half the people in the world are working in System D, which means that the total value of System D around the globe is around $10 trillion. “If this was combined in a single political entity, let’s call it Bizzare-istan,” he says with a smile, “it would be the second largest economy in the world.” It means that squatter communities are growing faster in legal areas, that the informal economy is exploding and that The Rational is becoming Irrational. The informal economy has always been around globally, as he throws … - Where is Foursquare Going? Dennis Crowley Reveals The Latest…
Wednesday, October 19, 2011
Foursquare usage is not really that different in the U.S. than outside the U.S. says Dennis Crowley on the Web 2.0 Summit stage this week in San Francisco. Apparently 50% usage of this growing-in-popularity location based network is outside the U.S. They plan to focus on building out a European team next year. "The bigger we get, the bigger the opportunities that come to us," he says in response to whether they plan to stay independent or get acquired. Dennis doesn't seem to be wedded to either one as long as they can continue to build a product the way they want to build it. "The only thing that we want to do is build a product to where we want it to be in a year from now, three years from now…..We want to build tools that change the way all the people in this room experience the real world." Of Foursquare's growth, he says that they're launching new features every few weeks and as each new feature gets launched, the pieces of the puzzle comes toge … - Mary Meeker: Silicon Valley Innovation May Be Unprecedented
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Kleiner Perkin's Mary Meeker delivers a fabulous Internet trends presentation every year at Web 2.0 Summit and this year was no different. Full of not only data but lots of fascinating commentary and unique perspective, she gave the audience depth and texture over the last year in the areas of mobile, social media, ecommerce, real-time data, advertising and the economy. She covered the following areas: 1. Globality – We Aren’t In Kansas Anymore… 2. Mobile – Early Innings Growth, Still… 3. User Interface – Text – Graphical – Touch ���- Graphical T ouch / Sound / Move 4.Commerce – Fast / Easy / Fun / Savings = More Important Than Ever… 5. Advertising – Lookin’ Good… 6.

Authentic Identity – The Good / Bad / Ugly. But Mostly Good? 10. Economy – Lots of Uncertainty 11. USA Inc. – Pay Attention. We learn … - Bill Gross Unveils Chime.In at Web 2.0 Summit
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Bill Gross thinks that social media will be the connected issue across the planet that will enable us to communicate, connect and engage. He said at Web 2.0 Summit in his announcement speech of the new social networking service Chime.In, "I believe that social is going to be embedded in every kind of transaction in the next decade." "There are only two real problems with social media today," he adds. "Relevance and monetization." He talked about the signal to noise ratio issue that has been raised a lot since the Summit started, which Twitter's Dick Costolo addressed as well (last paragraph). "We need better filters. Any system that has a billion people contributing to it is going to have a serious signal to noise problem. In addition to relevancy, there's the monetization piece. Some revenue needs to go to publishers and content creators and that isn't happening in a real way today. The people who make the great content don't part … - Michael Dell on Apple, Enterprise & Innovation
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Michael Dell was on the Web 2.0 Summit this stage this morning, sharing his thoughts about everything from offsite servers, product innovation, their continued strength in the healthcare and enterprise sectors, and Apple. I'll talk about the more personal side of what he shared with an audience of more than 600 people in San Francisco's Palace Hotel ballroom. When he was 14, he bought an Apple 2, and he set up a bulletin board system. Way back when, he saw the power of Internet sharing and embraced it. How do you have a company with big ears, learning all the time & listening? "It's something we ask ourselves all the time," he says. He looks at social media as a fabulous way to learn with greater speed with greater scale, which is not unlike what he did at 14, only that he has significant tools to accelerate that sharing today. While he's an active user of Twitter and a big believer in getting "social" with his customers and fans, they also h … - WITI 2011: Videos of Women who Inspire
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Here's a glimpse from this year's WITI event (Women in Technology), held in October 2011 in San Jose, CA. - Web 2.0 Summit Kick Off: Twitter, Yahoo, eBay, Bluefin, Intel, Salesforce & More
Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Web 2.0 Summit kicked off yesterday afternoon at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. John Battelle and Tim O'Reilly are master curators of some of the best minds and storytellers in the technology industry, throwing CEOs of major corporations on stage to answer business and technology questions together with start-up entrepreneurs, an Intel anthropologist and a fireside chat between John Heilemann and Oregon Senator Ron Wyden. I spent my time listening, shooting and tweeting more than I did taking comprehensive notes, but here's a few memorable quotes and takeaways from day one. Sean Parker, former co-founder of Napster, currently Spotify: Sean talked about how much easier it is for the independent artist to get noticed using social networks today. "You can take an artist to a number one position fairly quickly. I don't understand why any artist would sign on with a record label today. As an artist, if you're functional and don't have a drug problem, there … - Great Women at WITI: Isn't it Better to Have a Life of Oh Wells Than What Ifs?
Friday, October 7, 2011
Clearly I don't get to New York often enough, by now I would have met writer and products guru Maya Baratz, who is currently working on new products at The Wall Street Journal. She started out by asking the nearly all women audience at WITI (Women in Technology International): How many of you are still waiting for your mentor? How many of you spend your time trying to prove someone wrong? Mentors were a common thread throughout her talk. It's not that she doesn't believe in having them, but if you can’t find a mentor, don't wait around to get ahead. "Waiting for a mentor is like waiting to follow someone else’s lead," she says. "Follow your own." On innovation, she says, "innovation is about being unreasonable and along the way you sprinke it with reasonable." She encouraged the women in the room not to be reasonable. "You don’t need to succeed," she says. We can fail. Women are shy of taking big risks and want to ensure they … - WITI's Panel on Social Media & Social Enterprise Provides Big & Small Brand Insights
Friday, October 7, 2011
The WITI (Women in Technology International) Summit had a social media and social enterprise panel at their annual event in San Jose earlier this week. WITI is the premiere global organization empowering women in business and technology to achieve unimagined possibilities. Financial Times reporter April Dembosky moderated the panel which included Senior VP of HR at Adobe Donna Morris, Coca-Cola CIO Miriam McLemore and Heather Meeker, VP of Corp. Comm at GOGll. What would your top social media tool be if you had to choose one? Of course, I couldn't choose one since that would be like choosing one medium over another or one audience and not another and nearly every product I've ever represented targets more than one and has more than one need. 25% of all hires for Adobe is through LinkedIn so it's a critical tool for them to not only hire but sustain talent. They also keep tabs on employees LinkedIn profiles – how they represent themselves and what their interests are. … - Georgia Tech's Rosa Arriaga on the Power of Human Censors
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
Georgia Tech Psychologist Rosa Arriaga talked to the Idea Festival audience about the importance of human censors to not only empower patients to take better control of their diseases, particularly chronic diseases, but improve self reliance overall. She notes that individuals of chronic conditions aren’t even aware of their own symptoms. She brought up SocialMirror, which is a targeted social network for individuals with autism. Tools like this for patients can help them stay motivated about making their regime a priority, including medicine. Through his network, the app can provide feedback about what an autism patient should do or not do in a particular social situation, such as what to wear at a particular event, what to say, what to bring to a meeting or party, certain behaviors and so on. The social network combined with caregiver and doctor feedback can be a powerful tool to help patients become so much more self reliant than they could ever have imagined in the past. This would … - The Future of Medicine is the Engaged Patient Who Makes Their Own Decisions
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
John Moore who is currently a PhD candidate in the New Media Medicine group at the MIT Media Lab, is working to fundamentally change the role that patients can play in their care by empowering them with knowledge, understanding, confidence, and channels for communication. He is studying the effect that new technology-mediated paradigms for doctor-patient collaboration can have on education, adherence, and behavior change. In the future of medicine, his goal is to design systems to make the patient help decide what medicine to take, where the doctor acts as the “guide.” He gives us in the Idea Festival audience a few sad facts. People retain only 15-20% of what they hear from doctors after they leave the office. Very few actually follow through and take their medicine even after picking up the prescription. He says that the reason that the stats look so grim is because the system we have today has been designed so poorly. As a result, Moore and his team are working on transforming syste … - Idea Festival 2011 Recap: From Robots, Art & Science to Education, Politics & Innovation
Tuesday, October 4, 2011
The Idea Festival is an annual event held in Louisville Kentucky every year. Founded by Kris Kimel, his vision is centered around the following belief: "with innovative ideas we create the future." I've been meaning to attend for several years and finally made my way down to Louisville this past September for three days of inspiration and electric energy across the areas of science, politics, healthcare, education, music, design, technology and the arts. Unfortunately, most of us have little opportunity to get out of our daily worlds (and ways of thinking) to learn about, discuss and explore how to integrate diverse and important ideas and innovations. This event's goal is provide a unique “space” for the convergence of great ideas from leading thinkers across the nation and around the globe. To give you an idea of the diversity of the event, imagine listening to an Army combat veteran Wes Moore talk about his book about a child with the same name who was convicted … - Wanna Shed a Few Extra Pounds? Meet Autom, the Dieting Robot & Weight-Loss Coach!
Monday, October 3, 2011
I met Cory Kidd in Kentucky recently at the annual Idea Festival, who flew south from New England to show off Autom, a robot designed to help people with their diets. It is up to the user to enter in the details of their diet, such has their fitness level and then Autom uses its databank to interact with the user, engage in conversation and give you feedback. Along with keeping a record of what you have been eating throughout the day, Autom inspires you to look good and remain in shape. She comes complete with an artificial female voice for commands and has a touchscreen belly for all kinds of input. Describes one site: "it is harmless, and like a human it won't rebuke you for eating one extra dessert but would surely keep account of the same." The selling price being estimated is around $600 or $500. Think of it as a weight-loss coach, but a robotic one, one who knows how much you've been exercising, and a whole lot about your diet. With a touch of your finger, she …
