I’ve been posting them to twitter, but now that I’ve done […]

My International Day of Awesomeness Manifesto

Building Whuffie – My Slides from Geekend 2009

Building Whuffie View more documents from Kevin Lawver. Max and I had a great time at Geekend, and I had a blast presenting some thoughts on building reputation systems. It was fun partly because I don’t have all the answers yet and there’s a lot way to go before I actually have a system I’m […]
