Primary Foci:

• Targeted Currencies
• Web Technology for Collaboration

I have two companies (oriented toward social impact) where most my time gets invested.

Targeted Currencies Network - We unleash the latent resources that are already available in businesses and communities by using special purpose currencies to activate new flows among participants. Interesting projects range from economic development, community building and open employment and incentive programs for businesses, municipalities and native american tribal nations. (See Targeted Currencies group on O.Net for lots more goodies.)

The Geek Gene- We help businesses reach their goals on the Internet. In particular, we're building a powerful platform for collaboration, currencies and rapid application development on the Internet. We have a community of geeks participating in building this, working on customer projects and creating a 3D interactive world for collaboration and play.

Things I like to talk about

currencies Building systems that alter the flows of information, reputation, trust and resources inside of communities. Building a gift economy and empowering people to work better within and across their communities.

SourceTree Building an opensource platform to support opensource projects; connecting geeks with cool projects to forward our future.
