In the course of doing that, it’s important to see customers as the first and final authorities on where their data lives and what gets done with it, and what their intentions are, and help them with that.<br/> This is not about a prediction for the future. This is about development. We need more investors to look and say, ‘What are you guys doing for customers? What are you doing to help customers and sellers come together? What are you doing to help build relationships?”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1836004/doc-searls-on-becoming-part-of-the-intention-economy?#">Doc Searls On Becoming Part Of The Intention Economy | Fast Company</a></em>http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/22377789908http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/22377789908Fri, 04 May 2012 07:26:34 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gosxuoy71qzm35lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“Meet new people through local experiences” with @unawkward #Launchfest (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/22332690727http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/22332690727Thu, 03 May 2012 15:29:20 -0400launchfest<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3ghvpfnSJ1qzm35lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#Launchfest @danparham talking about the genesis of @neighborland (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/22326050487http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/22326050487Thu, 03 May 2012 12:59:49 -0400launchfest<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3ggomcHrT1qzm35lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#Launchfest @venture4america + @aweissman talking abt networks, “tech hubs”, and the ingredients of making (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/22325003930http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/22325003930Thu, 03 May 2012 12:33:58 -0400launchfest<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3eeeiRtP41qzm35lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I can show what it looks like, I can record what it sounds like, but I can’t capture what it smells like to be hiding under the trees in the Quarter.

Rollable hi-res screen and keyboard, tiny computer the size of a cell phone or smaller but as light as a pen, with high-speed satellite connectivity anywhere on the globe. In this world, my sleeping bag, pad and windproof hammock weigh only a pound put together. For half of the year I travel the world, alone and with companions, with a small bag slung over my shoulder like Kwai Chang Caine. We sleep outdoors, travel on trains, and a few days of the week sit some place cozy and create beautiful software or solve interesting problems that improve the world.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://max.shron.usesthis.com/">Max Shron answers the question “What would be your dream setup?”</a> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://blog.frankchimero.com/">viafrank</a>)</em>http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/21529469674http://blog.taylordavidson.com/post/21529469674Sat, 21 Apr 2012 18:53:45 -0400
