Profile Information

What do you do?: I recently moved back to my hometown in Knoxville, TN to write a book about social entrepreneurship and help set up a coworking space / business incubator downtown. I used to live and work in San Francisco where I worked with over half a dozen startups in both the tech world as well as the cleantech industry.

Check out ProcessAway.net - a "charge card terminal for the iPhone"

Someone was asking about credit card processing, and I wanted to just give a heads up for ProcessAway. What a cool iPhone application. It allows you to process credit cards with your iPhone and it looks like it's just a one-time fee for the software. In the upper-right hand side they were asking about merchant account options which are also listed in the upper right hand corner. What do you all think?

Does it violate facebook TOS to sell a "Knoxville, TN fan page" to the highest bidder?

For those of you working in Intellectual Property and Cyberspace Law (or even just the social media sector), I have a question that I would love to get your opinion on.

A few weeks ago I created a fan page for Knoxville, TN on facebook. In less than a few weeks it's grown close to 10,000 fans.

I'm considering selling the admin rights to the highest bidder on eBay and having the proceeds go to Knoxville Overground… Continue

I will be running errands tomorrow. What times are you planning to be at the SH Shared space office. I will drop by if I can.

Is the shared space mentioned across from the Pres. Church? If so, I know where it is. Is the choice of location significant, or just because space is available?

My apologies for not being able to support you today @ KO but I had the UT Job Fair event today that my colleague and I participated in until late afternoon. I'll look for your next event posting and be there God willing. All the best and see ya soon.

Is your venture for profit or is the coop going to be split evenly between the bills, leases etc etc.

At 3:09pm on August 15, 2008, Christian Seus said…: Is the space like this?

My business is growing to the point where I can't answer the phone if I am in meetings. If I am not in meetings, I cant make money. If I am in meetings, I cant answer the phone. I am looking at getting a local shared receptionist. Anyone know of a service of a shared receptionist that answers the phone with your businesses branding?

I can find them all day at $20 a month nationally, but Id prefer someone local.

Thanks,
