I spent today at day 1 of the TechSoup Global Summit in Mountain View with two hundred and forty people who work in the TechSoup Global Network around the world, plus other stakeholders.

It could be checking in with people on a location-based social network. For many start ups and even nonprofit groups doing something truly innovative, they totally blow it the first time around. Why be in just one place when we can be in many? That might look like sharing a picture from a concert, while you are still at the concert.
