Today Allison Fine and I celebrated the launch of the Networked Nonprofit at TechSoup Global in the space where Netsquared Meetups take place. I got to snap this photo of two women, Marnie Webb and Charlene Li , who have greatly influenced my work over the past 5-10 years. Got to do some networking and catchup.

For example, during the Global s London Summit, a wiki was used to capture a brainstorming session and then to help bring those ideas foward in the months following the gathering. You can get rich photo streams when participants a) have and use digital cameras b) understand and use tag based photosharing services like flickr.
