Digital Efforts Have To Be About Transforming NYC Into A Small Town

I don't know Kirk Love. I have never met Kirk Love, although I hope to some day. The guy shows up in my Gchat window on and off, and it is because one day I pitched him to come in as an angle investor. Why not? He said, no thank you, I can't, but nice meeting you too. (The Google/Facebook Of Microfinance, My BusiCopy Cofounder Anuj Bikram Thapa)

I started following him on Tumblr because he was on David Noel's list of people to follow. David Noel is out of Berlin. (My Tumblr Just Got An Upgrade) Just from following Kirk on Tumblr I had seen many, many pictures of his wife.

Lilian Riveros met Kirk on an online dating site. Apparently they clicked enough when they met in person to end up married. Lilian is a New Yorker, of course, a Paraguay native.

Rachel Sterne: CDO


A Mind Blowing Party

In Nepal where I grew up that would have meant Chief District Officer, one mean post back in the days of absolute monarchy. You did n-o-t want to ever get noticed by the CDO. Worst case scenario you might simply have disappeared. Some of the most politically vocal people did. They simply disappeared.

Education Is Media, Action Is Thought

In this video that I first came across here, and then the money quote - like Fred Wilson might put it - that I came across here first, Fred Wilson says Education is media.

Charlie O'Donnell At His Inspiring Best

GroupOnizing GroundReport Might Be Specific To GroundReport


I thought I wrote up this blog post, and sent that out as a tweet to Rachel Sterne and Randi Zuckerberg and it went out into the ether and that was that.

Why Zuck? I follow her on Twitter, and when I typed "ra" she also showed up. So.

And today I see it has been talked about at GroundReport itself by its founder. That allows me to elaborate.

GroundReport Needs To Get GroupOnized To Take Off


GroundReport is a greaaat idea, inspiring/touching actually to a Third World guy like me.

Its roots lie is Rachel Sterne's dissatisfaction with the UN Security Council, the ultimate bubble/ivory tower in global politics. I have also long been dissatisfied with the UN Security Council.

It is not true what GroundReport is trying to do is a saturated market. The opposite is true. But it is important to get the business model right.
