I'm a poet

I began writing poetry when I was ten years old, and my work was first published in my teens. I'm the author of more than a dozen books and have published in dozens of magazines and anthologies. My most recent book, To the Cognoscenti, was published in 2007. I'm also one of the authors of The Grand Piano, an experiment in collective autobiography. Writing is my primary tool for investigating the world. learn more»
 

an entrepreneur

I provide strategic assistance to startups and due diligence for venture firms. I've worked in Web-based collaboration, social software and new media since 1996, when I was a founder of the first venture-funded social software company, ScreenPorch. Later, I started Mighty Acorn and Suplion and was the President of Cyclonic. More recently, I have helped launch Seedwiki, Connectbeam, and KnowledgePay. learn more»
 

and a consultant.

I help organizations learn to use new media, social software and other social technologies. Over three decades I have consulted with the Macmillan Company, UNESCO, Supercuts, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Warner-Lambert, Synergies Worldwide, Harvard Business School Publishing, Ventera and many others. I have blogged about these subjects at Social Computing, FASTforward, Social Media Today, and the Conversation Hub. learn more»
