As someone who's freelanced, I must say coworking spaces are the best! I love how collaborative they are (and generally affordable)

Oh, co-working is definitely all about the synergy. JR, if you're out here in New Jersey, you should definitely come by for a visit!

Most of us work a full time while we build our biz. After hours is much needed.

What do you all think about Facebook's announcement that they are launching a location-based functionality similar to Foursquare? This will allow geo-location to take off. My concerns reside around privacy issues. If advertisers and marketers know where consumers are in real-time, what's to stop criminals from finding a way to tap in to this information? Seems like people are becoming a bit too transparent about their real-time status, http://bit.ly/bT3Cmt

Like Rebecca I think you should opt out of geolocation if you're not comfortable with it, but I also think Sean has a point. Criminals are often not strangers who jump out of shadows at night to arrest you. Most women are attacked by men they already know and have developed a degree of trust with. And there are many many women who have been in situations where it was safer, and smarter, for their whereabouts to be unknown.
So while I think it's easy to underestimate how geolocation could work against you, it's something you can choose not to participate in so it's all good.

Of course, some things are out of your control and that's why you can't stop flying just because the plane might crash.

So, I was just in San Francisco last week and gave two speeches that received great feedback and ratings. Some of the best advice I've ever received is to practice your speeches in front of people you know well. Like your boyfriend or best friend or mom or colleagues or boss. It's often harder to give a speech in front of people you know so if you can do that, you'll be set for the real thing. Even though my speeches went well, I can always improve - do you have any speaking tips to share?
Rebecca Thorman:
Yeah, I don't look people in the eye - it throws me off. Luckily, my audiences were big enough that I could just look over their heads.

On practice, I practiced my five minute "Ignite" speeech - 20 slides in 15 seconds each that advance automatically, which was a very good thing. I didn't really practice my other speech, because it was okay to be more conversational, which also turned out great. So I think it's a lot to do with the format. Engaging the audience is key, no matter what.

I think what made your speech compelling was your understanding of the line between where we as your audience understood Social Media and where your professional understanding was. Although I have not done much speaking myself, being a member of the audience I am always wanting to learn something new. That new knowledge a speaker can introduce almost always stirs up deep though and revelation. It's great!
