The last two posts were pretty heavy ones on the nature of creativity. So I'd like to go back to the idea that spawned them all – the idea that people use media to socialize and that's why originality is not always a factor in their choice of media. With that conclusion, I want to close up this not-quite series with a look of ways people can make their media more "socializable."

A Geek Icon’s Web Page
Jeff Bridges is one of those understated geek icons – in many geeky films (Tron for the gods' sake), but also calmly going along and doing his thing.
His web page is a fount of awesome, and one of the most unique personal/professional pages I've seen.
Go and experience it.
Resume Worthy Roundup for December 2010
And what got our attention last month for Resume-Worthy Companies?
- Appconomy – They're taking mobile service to enterprise apps. A smaller horseman of the CorpTechPocalypse – but with a chance to go big.
- Bay Citizen – They've got a nonprofit news model and funding.
- DocuSign – Thy do something dull (electronic signatures), but that dullness is practacal and got them some nice venture capital.
- Flipboard – They keep adding features – and I expect them to be on Android eventually.
- Groupon – Because everyone wants them or gives them money. I'd warn though this might be a case of overvaluing. Also note below they have a rival.
- LivingSocial – As they got a gigantic investment from Amazon. Oh and they're a rival to Groupon . . . so keep that in mind.
- Lookout – Venture capital investments and company that does cloud security?
- Media6Degrees – Interesting marketing tech, and of course, venture capital.
- MeLLmo – They've got mobile business intelligence software and some investors. Nice combination
- Mobyling – They're doing games in HTML 5 and getting venture capital.
- Rovio – Because look they're all over our news and can make you buy a game where you use a slingshot to use birds to attack pigs.
- Zendesk – Easy tech support tools for your company and they got some venture capital. Also another CorpTechPocalypse company . . .
And don't forget lots of money is flowing to Massachucetts.
