What’s a Whuffie:
The currency of the future.
Roughly equivalent to social capital

Ideas and concepts discussed on the panel:

Coworking space: it’s not a business. Not the goal. Goal is to improve the city that you live in.

If I make the city better, my business will be better.

Hold free events monthly, geared toward designers. Panels that talk about the industry from people in the market.

Adopt international programs, like Ignite (IgnitePortland)

It only takes ten people to make an innovation center. Start simple.

Suggested book: Better Together

Facebook Connect for iPhone is going to be huge.

The possibilities are going to be amazing. Can’t wait to develop something for this.
