Brian Oberkirch
About: I'm passionate to the point of earnestness about what might happen if we give people the tools to easily organize & swarm around things that matter to them. I also believe in reality-based evangelism of these issues; take a long-term view of all this; think we need some designers & product people in on these discussions; and that we have to create value for everyone involved. Simple.
