San Francisco and the 1 percent rule

by Karl on July 27, 2006

I’m in San Francisco ’till sunday, and I am in love with this town. Such a great vibe. Just a quick post to point you to the Guardian article on the 1% rule, just an illustration of how the mainstream is beginning to grok social media and co-creation.

Cheers all,

Update: I forgot to mention I’m meeting with Yobie Benjamin today, who was a guest on my podcast. Yobie is the CEO of Goodstorm.com, a company that provides ecommerce infrastructure to anyone and gives them the bulk of the profits.

It’s the best! I’m from about 4.5 hours north of there in a place called Arcata. Spent many a weekend in SF growing up. I miss it… Hope you keep enjoying it.

Nice, thanks for the comment. I loved the weather there, and loved the walking. I’ve lived for a couple of years in areas where it seems only vagrants and immigrants walk any distance. It’s no wonder the US is getting fatter the way these towns are built around cars. I mean, in dallas they don’t even have sidewalks in a lot of places :-)

Anyway, i’ll keep posting as to what happens, but at this point I want to move there right away.
