    I love Craigslist. You see a lot of decent gigs, but there’s also a ton of crap. And every once in a while, someone lashes out.

    I made the WhyGoSolo Facebook Application, which just launched. If you join WhyGoSolo, you can have any events you create or sign up for show up on Facebook automatically, so you and your Facebook friends can know what you are up to. We’re planning on adding a lot more functionality to it in the future.…

I may also be collaborating with one or two other people on some other topics – we’ll see how that plays out. I’ll post slides after. If you are there,…
