dangerouslyawesome: Social Capital & Cool Kids Clubs
The topic of social capital came up on the coworking google group today. My boy Trek, from Workantile, was cited for his usage of “social capital and debt” to determine which members might be not worth retaining.

dangerouslyawesome: The Sweet Spot Between Business Partners
This post rang true of a comment that I’ve made many times about what to look for in a great business partner, and one of the reasons why I think it’s impossible to find a great business partner with the “speed dating” approach. I met Geoff DiMasi after Indy Hall was already getting started – not as [...]

dangerouslyawesome: The only thing special about doers is that they do things
One of my favorite Philadelphians and human beings, Wil Reynolds, tipped me off on this post tonight. Doers see something they don’t like, and do something to change it. Talkers see something they don’t like and tell everyone how much they don’t like it, but never do anything about it. Wishers see something they don’t like and tell themselves in the [...]

SEER Interactive: How To Get Your Clients To Be ‘Yes’ Men
Speak with any consultant, SEO, PPC or otherwise and you’ll hear at some point a ‘complaint’ they just can’t get their clients to say yes to their strategy ideas and recommendations.

Technically Philly: MyHeartMap Challenge launches contest and mobile app to crowdsource map of Philly defibrillators

Technically Philly: Soapy by Griffin Boyce: SOPA legislation is shelved for now, but University City developer has work-around for later
Before the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) blackout took hold last week, Griffin Boyce, a University City-based web developer, thought up a more practical way to protest a piece of legislation that many believe would amount to censorship — create some software to work around it.

Twitter Aggregation
The Philly New Media Hub will soon be aggregating tweets. Send an @reply or a DM to @newmediahub or @inxilpro if you would like to be followed. We plan on optionally offering a #PNMH hashtag so you can only include certain tweets, so let me know if you want all or some tweets to show up.
Philly New Media Newsletter
About the Philly New Media Hub
The Philly New Media Hub was designed and developed by Philadelphia local Chris Morrell. The system is written in PHP 5 and is built using the Galahad Framework Extension, which is built on top of the Zend Framework. Windows and tooltips are generated using Ext JS 2.0. Using open formats such as iCalendar, RSS and Atom, the system is able to aggregate content from dozens of different sources, and put them all on one page.
Please note that because the site is dynamically built, groups that do not provide their calendar in iCalendar format could not be included. For a comprehensive list of groups in the Philadelphia area, check out the Philly Groups Calendar.
If you would like to be listed on the Philly New Media Hub, please contact me. At this time I can only include sites that support iCalendar, RSS, Atom, or have a mailing list. If you do not offer any of these syndication formats, I highly recommend checking out Google Calendar for calendars or Dapper and Feed43 for RSS/Atom feeds.
If your content is currently aggregated by the Philly New Media Hub and you would like it removed, please contact me. I've tried to be sensitive to content ownership issues by keeping the information displayed on the site to a minimum and linking to the originating site whenever possible. If you have any concerns I want to hear them.
