I'm at the Global Philanthropy Forum this week, in Redwood City, and thought I'd try my hand at "Live Blogging," which is a buzz word I keep hearing.
First impressions:
Most international gathering I've seen. Usually, the ratio of Americans to Other Countries is pretty out of whack. Not here.
Also, plenty of representation from developing countries, which is a refreshing sign.
And a great showing of next generation reps, which explains why I am writing this now.
I wanted to be in the session on "Web-based, purpose-driven social networking." It was packed to the rafters. (Obviously a trend worth watching.)
Finally, there are the "Celebractivists" like Desmond Tutu, Peter Gabriel, and Annie Lennox.
Okay, more later.
