(likemind) X New York Times

(likemind) made the New York Times Style section last friday! Me and Eric Cedo have been running (likemind) here in Detroit for about a year and half now. Detroit is just one of the 55+ cities around the world that meet every third friday of the month for coffee + conversation. We like to think of (likemind) as a anti-networking event. Don’t get us wrong,. you still meet new + interesting people. There’s just something about meeting early in the morning that makes it feel less like ”networking” event and more like hanging out with good friends. Read excerpt from article >

Likemind caters to young professionals in advertising, media and design who are products of the age of personal blogs, warts-and-all YouTube videos and viral marketing. For them, the best pitch is the disguised pitch. Nothing, participants said, is more uncool than the hard-sell of traditional networking (which may explain why likemind is not capitalized).

So if you like meeting new people,.. but hate going to networking events,.. then I really suggest you come hang out with us @ (likemind)Detroit + bring a friend, or two, or three. The next (likemind) is December 5th (the last one for 2008) We’re having it @ a new location this time (Mercury Bar) Me + Eric will be there around 8.30am. Feel free to come anytime though.  We will be grabbing lunch @ Slow’s BBQ around noon.

Project 10 to the 100

 

Google is setting out to change the world again,.. this time with your ideas >

If you have an idea that you believe would help somebody, we want to hear about it. We’re looking for ideas that help as many people as possible, in any way, and we’re committing the funding ($10million) to launch these projects.

The deadline for idea entries is October 20th, 2008. The rules of the contest are few.  However, Google asks that you put your idea into one of the eight categories  and consider the evaluation criteria set forth. Watch the video below + get all the details and info over @ Project 10 to the 100

Good luck!
