Litterati – A Litter Free World with Perks

image

I first learned about Litterati while co hosting SFNewTech. They were one of the presenters. I thought to myself “Cool another water style campaign or  a Toms Shoes”. Its a bit more. More active,more social, and more responsibility.

Jeff Kirschner, founder of Litterati, had a simple idea; lets clean up the Bay Area and lets involve social media. The idea spread worldwide

I love it!

But since I am who I am I had to take it a step further ….I took it a step further as you can see from my personal Litterati, I took snaps of the action taken, not just of the litter.

I invite you to do the same!

The way I , ThatTechGirl, see Litterati!…..

First

  1. Spot Litter & Take a snapshot
  2. PICK UP the Litter
  3. Take a snapshot of you tossing the Litter in its proper place!

NOW Instagram & Tweet the heck out of it using the hashtag #Litterati

REPEAT!

Now you can feel good all day and spread the word!

Trust me the first time you do it, people WILL look at you crazy and some will ask what the heck are you doing? This is a perfect opportunity to build some instagram followers! 😉 Go build your followers as you clean your city!

Tag me in your post I want to join in on the action! Tag #ThatTechGirl & #Litterati

“I was hiking in the Oakland Hills with my two kids.  My daughter Tali (4 yrs) noticed that someone had thrown a plastic tub of cat litter into the creek.  She looked at me and said, “Daddeee, that doesn’t go there.” That was the eye-opening moment. “

Gamers – watch out! You will probably see them on iPad – Tall & Grande and Android in the future.

“we heard from the development community… We want MORE! Developers told us that they wanted more inputs from the case into the phone. We created Sensus.”

It is currently in private beta and will be launched at SF New Tech.

“There are plenty of high-quality places to be discovered in town, but unfortunately, current local search engines use a flawed star-rating algorithm that favors large standardized places instead of higher-quality authentic local businesses. With our new technology we get rid of star-ratings and we help people discover the true topten places in town.”

Micha A. Benoliel of Open Garden

It enables users to create their own ad-hoc mesh networks with other Open Garden-enabled devices including smartphones, tablets and PCs. What’s a mesh network? Read a little about it here.

“The density of smartphones has attained a critical mass; there are now more devices to connect to the Internet than people. The ecosystem of applications gives developers access to hundreds of millions of users instantly.   Open Garden is leveraging mesh networking and peer-to-peer technologies to turn everyone’s phone into an Internet node in a few clicks. With Open Garden everyone can be connected everywhere as if they were at home.”

Katherine Hague of ShopLocket

Meet Katherine Hague from ShopLocket – SF New Tech’s 3/20 presenter. Katherine oversees the day-to-day ops of Toronto-based ShopLocket and makes sure customers keep coming back to their service(aka Biz Dev). ShopLocket lets anyone start selling professionally online in minutes. Simply publish a product, embed it in any website, Facebook page, or blog post, and start seeing the green pile – well, maybe start to mound at the very least.

“ShopLocket was born out of an opportunity that I saw in the market while developing themes for Shopify. I realized that as awesome as storefront solutions are they require you to leave behind whatever platform you had originally been using and start from scratch. Quick alternatives like PayPal buy buttons and marketplaces just seemed unprofessional.”

Mathew Guiver of WeFile.it

Meet Mathew Guiver, the “life-long entrepreneur” and tax-time friend at WeFile.it. He will be pitching us at SF New Tech’s 3/20 event on their new service WeFile.it. WeFile.it makes filing easier and more affordable by cutting out the middlemen, and connecting clients directly with experienced Tax Pros. All Tax Pros are screened by a member of the WeFile.it team before their profiles can go live. They verify the experience and specialties, and also ensure they are responsive and friendly.

“I started WeFile.it to do something disruptive in the tax space. A majority of the clients at the consulting firm I started after college were in the tax and finance industry. It gave me a first hand look into how outdated their products are, and quite honestly, the amount of corruption that runs rampant in the industry.”

C.J. MacDonald of Herdmark

Meet C.J. MacDonald, one of the founders at Herdmark. He will be on the bill for SF New Tech’s 3/20 event on their new collaboration tool – Herdmark. Herdmark allows you to create a library of great resources that you can use, share and add.

“We thought that there was no good way to share bookmarks with your team. There are bookmarking tools, like delicious, but they don’t do anything for groups of collaborators. And there are team collaboration tools but they don’t have much if any support for bookmarks, and anyway, they do so many things that we believe that they are not used for bookmarks. We think that bookmarks hold a sort of “corporate knowledge” in an organization and for subgroups in an organization. We wanted to make a focussed tool for bookmarks

Groupon Fans mourn the loss of CEO

Groupon Fans mourn the loss of CEO, Andrew Mason.

Loss is relative.

He has been fired. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quote!

“I was fired today. If you’re wondering why… you haven’t been paying attention. From controversial metrics in our S1 to our material weakness to two quarters of missing our own expectations and a stock price that’s hovering around one quarter of our listing price, the events of the last year and a half speak for themselves. As CEO, I am accountable.”

The Take away: Have a FREAKIN AWESOME QUOTE next time you are fired!

Tell me what you said to your employer/partner/client  the last time YOU were fired!

Ill start….

“Yea this wasnt working out for me either, I was going to contact you next week to end this relationship, I wish you the best!

Would love to hear your thoughts!

The Mayors Office of Civic Innovation has launched in partnership with Gray Area Foundation for the Arts (GAFFTA), Office of Economic Workforce Development, sf.citi, San Francisco Travel, and Golightly House to spotlight the organizations and entrepreneurs that make up today’s generation of innovators.

Innovation Month helps tell the story of San Francisco as the best place to live, work and play. More than any other city, San Francisco is uniquely poised to innovate and invent the future right here, right now, by capitalizing on our greatest resource – our people. And innovation isn’t just about technology – it’s about a different way of thinking and approaching our problems. It is through innovative approaches to crime fighting and community involvement that San Francisco remains one of the safest big cities in America. It is through new ways to make it easier for companies to do business in SF.

SF CoFounders Meet up in San Francisco

First Co Founders SF meet up took place Oct 11, 2012 at Soda Popinskis in San Francisco

CoFounders SF is a new meet up group started by Logan Shedd and hosted by Stefan Broda. Logan is a Massachusetts  native who owns and operates various non tech businesses in San Francisco. Logan is launching a tech start up but ran into a common problem like so many start up hopefuls… locating a talented co founder. He decided to organize a Meet Up in order to hopefully find his tech match as well as help others.

Members are invited to identify themselves as founders, cofounders, non technical, and technical. In hopes of wooing a mate, the member stand in front of an eager group of hopefuls and give their best 60 second pitch!

Meeting Agenda:

6-6:45 Mingle, drink and eat

6:45-7 Greetings from Hosts

7-7:30 Round the room introductions of idea, role and yourself! 1 minute each.

7:30-7:45 Presentation and Q/A

7:45-8 Close meeting. Talk about next, ideas, feedback, et

 

Tempted to attend but have no idea what C++ is, no worries!!! There were non technical start ups eager to expand. One that caught my attention was founded by Antonia Townsend. TheEnclosed.com is taking a new approach to underwear! Antonia’s new start up ships luxury knickers monthly! A whole new way to say “I LOVE YOU”! I doubt 1800Flowers.com will be adding this service so you better stick with TheEnclosed.com

Graham Hunter was knighted as “All things meeting”, meaning he will keep record, attendance, smile, as well as shoot out a few tweets, which is fitting seeing as he is head of a start up marketing firm . Visit Grahamhunter.org

Looking forward to seeing the relationships blossom from this meet up!
