Kyle Flaherty posted a video compiled largely during the Social Media Breakfast IV earlier this week in Boston: Solving the Challenges of 2008.

It includes yours truly (0:42 through about 1:20) babbling on about distributed social networking and the DiSo project. (I didn’t really go prepped to give the elevator pitch for DiSo, but I think I covered the concept ok - maybe more social network portability in general than that project in particular).

Now, I took the question very much in the context of “social media” and the topic of conversation that morning, and did not go for solving things like the war in Iraq, global warming, or ending poverty on the planet. But that doesn’t mean I’m shallow, just focused.
