Writing has been my primary tool for investigating the world since I was ten years old. My work was first published in my teens. My work has been featured in lots of magazines and anthologies, I've published a dozen or more books, and I'm a co-author of The Grand Piano, a ten volume experiment in collaborative autobiography (more at www.thegrandpiano.org.)

I founded the first social software company -- Caucus, Inc. -- in January 1996. We raised $2m + in venture capital funding; we had great customers (IBM, HP, Merck, and many more), and a great team. But, we also had many of the same focus, cost-structure, and growth problems that afflicted the first generation of Web startups. By the time the company needed.
