Enjoyed my day in Berkeley yesterday at the Craigslist Foundation Bootcamp 2009. Lots of enthusiastic FB users in the audience helped make her points. Enjoyed Deb Jospin and Shirley Sagawa discussing the Charismatic Organization, their recent book. Announcing All For Good was a big piece of the event, of course.
