I've spent more than ten years building professional online products. My clients include four Fortune 500 corporations. I was CEO of my own startup and I've worked for and advised many other startups and larger firms. I have a Berkeley iSchool Masters degree. For more than seven years I've specialized in the design of location-based social media.

Projects I've built include a locative social networking application, financial services, medical information systems and news content management systems.

I've been published in Wired, The Washington Post, The Miami Herald, SIGCHI Bulletin, The Chicago Tribune. I've been interviewed by, and my work has been featured in Wired News, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, Slashdot, O'Reilly Radar, Der Spiegel, TechCrunch, The Financial Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, the BBC, NPR, CNN and hundreds of other news outlets.

I've presented at South by Southwest, ISEA, Where 2.0, STIRR, ETech, OSCon.

I coined the term "flash mob," which is now listed in the Oxford English Dictionary. I ran the site that provided the first, and the deepest, coverage of flash mobs on the Web.
