In our November event, we discussed how the social web can disempower if not used wisely. On February 24th, we’ll discuss how to use it to improve the quality of our offline lives. Three panelists will help seed the discussion. They’ve explored the interplay between the real and virtual deeply in both practice and thought, and have a passionate commitment to empowering others with the knowledge they’ve gained:
- Allison Arieff is former editor in chief of Dwell Magazine, a NYTimes design blogger, a writer for GOOD, and a consultant to IDEO and Urban Re:Vision.
- Stephanie Smith is a designer and social entrepreneur. Her most recent company WeCommune.com (private beta) facilitates on the ground resource sharing.
- Bill Ayers is a writer, Internet entrepreneur, and founder and organizer of the San Francisco Webeneur Meetup Group and was Meetup organizer of the week last year.
And fittingly, this will be a hybrid online / offline event. We’ll be livestreaming the event from the coworking innovation loft, PariSoma.com. We’ll have both online and offline participants. Expect hiccups, failures, and fun. It’ll be a great learning experience in content and form.
