Highlight Midwest

Moore’s law states that the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has increased exponentially, doubling approximately every two years. More’s Law is much more straightforward and simply states that the more you give the more you get. HMers continue to prove out More’s Law by giving great feedback on the event and getting thanks and appreciation from the likes of us:

• Momentum For Social Media In The Midwest
  

  We have been busy collaborating with insanely smart people from around the country to keep on top of what is happening in the world of social media and emerging technologies so we can pass on that expertise to businesses and people in Kansas City. There has been a lot of positive feedback from the presentation Chris gave at the Kauffman Foundation about the great work by Kansas City technology start ups as well as the expert panel discussion Zach was a part of.

  …in terms of Web and new media innovations, things are moving fast here in Flyover Country — very fast. Dozens of smart entrepreneurs are following their hearts and talents and creating amazing new products, despite everyone telling them they are crazy. I learned about StorEnvy, Swindlr and Social Radar for the first time (all born in Kansas City). I was also introduced to BetterOmaha.com — a news resource built by a couple of guys who decided they could build something better, and more intuitive, that any of Omaha’s traditional media outlets.

Plenty to to reflect upon…
