I was kidnapped by the Schwaggin' Wagon and it was the ride of my life! Mix one part Guerrilla Love-fare plus two shakes of Flash Philanthropy, and you've got the Schwaggin' concept just waiting to explode.I'll be sharing more about these guys in the days ahead but I'm supposed to leave for vacation in a few hours, so I shall be brief(er). My whole encounter with the Web 2.0 Expo may seem to be crazy blind luck to some... but I detected a great deal of divine intervention last week, and now I just need the discipline to write about it.
Special kudos to Kyra who convinced me that I ought to be blogging with all my spare time (my wife will thank you i'm sure) and to David who casually mentioned that if I'd have been some corporate cheese I would have been paying them all biggus buckus just for privilege of sitting in a pimped out van with such a prestigious group of consultants. Thus, inspired by Team Schwaggin' I shall begin this, my 3rd or 4th attempt at exposing myself online.
What I especially loved was that these 2.0ntrepeneurs sacrificed their time that they could have spent networking on the expo floor to do something good for kids and for the planet. They literally jumped in to an idea with no guarantees of how it would be received. By the end of the show I'm quite sure that they had more positive media coverage than most of the big players on the floor who spent skadillions on slick promo fliers and fancy swag. You may call that good karma, I call it freelance grace.
