Foglio's Field Notes

The buzz on Twitter about ‘The Socially Conscious Geek‘, the Core Conversation Lauren Bacon and I facilitated last weekend at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival (aka SXSWi). Here is a straight cut/paste of the tweetstream on each of the hashtags for our session — the official hashtag #sociallyconsciousgeek, which we shortened to the more manageable #scgeek.
