This week I’ve been corresponding a bit with Eric Norlin, one of the creators of Defrag. For those unfamiliar, Defrag is really the thinking man/woman’s conference assembling some of the brightest minds in technology in a non-valley setting (Denver, Colorado).
According to the website the focus of Defrag is
“solely on the tools and technologies that are leveraging the “social” aspect of software to accelerate the “aha” moment.â€�
Speaking of aha moments…
Eric is located in South Florida and has been hunkering down in preparation for Hurricane Fay. Earlier today Eric tweeted a request for thoughts on a link between Fay and Defrag. Seeing Eric’s question I responded, suggesting that the conference donate a percentage of revenue from tickets sold to the cleanup effort. Voila! Defrag announced it will be donating 25% of ticket sales this week to a Fay relief fund. Awesome and generous.
Just another example of the power of flow apps to act as a platform for collective action.
