Writing to say I won’t be writing this weekend. I’ve got my head buried in putting together a proposal for what I think Etsy can be in 3-5 years. It’s incredibly fun stuff, and I’m hoping I can get the rest of the company as excited about it as I am. In the mean time, you can follow me on Twitter (as usual) or on Google Reader (as usual). Also, I’m almost done with Clay Shirky’s book Here Comes Everybody - it’s incredible; I definitely recommend it.
Hi everyone,
Bre Pettis has invited me to present at the next Ignite NYC event. You can read the NYTimes writeup here. For Seattle folks, this is basically a clone of the Ignite Seattle event, which Bre can pull off in good conscience since he was one of the founders of Ignite Seattle.
So I need to give a presentation about something. The presentation format is 20 slides in 5 minutes, with slides automatically changing every 15 seconds.
Please post a comment with your suggestion! I’m considering talking about the importance of long tail websites having sharing tools like the ones found in GReader and Tumblr and The Hype Machine, combined with platforms that allow clumping (aggregation) to happen like Meetup or Amazon Tag Communities. But maybe that’s old news? Or boring?
Thanks!
Dave
p.s. I almost used this photo instead of the one above.
