I realize I haven't been super active on this site recently. I can't say I really know why, except that I haven't been compelled to engage recently.

Some in this debate around experience seem to think the job of the president is to go in and run some bureaucracy. Well, that’s not my job.

Ning's CEO on cover of Fast Company this month

I was happy to see Fast Company feature Ning this month. As most of you probably know, SmallerIndiana.com is built on the Ning platform. As is my online music community Musicalfamilytree.com and many other online communities- 250,000 or so. I went to lunch with Kyle Lacy last week, introduced the boy to Sushi, and we agreed that this platform has many, many different social, organization and business applications. It's nice to see this company gett… Continue

Jeb, I knew that you guys worked with MediaSauce, but I didn't know that you were a part of the Live Indiana promotion as well! I work for the Tourism Office and think that's great that you're working with us on this promotion.
