#saveustechies #sxsw: Why so many techies on the consumer bandwagon and not companies/projects addressing real, serious issues?
|

#saveustechies #sxsw: Hidary: It's the business models that are lacking.

#saveustechies #sxsw: @recyclematchnow - Trash isn't that sexy, hard to attract hot techies, but we're looking!
|
| Mar 15, 2011 at 3:44 PM | |
|
most important missing element: new business models in regards to tech aimed at systemic/social change #saveustechies #sxsw
|
| Mar 15, 2011 at 3:44 PM | |

|
#saveustechies #sxsw: @recyclematchnow - Also, perception is that big business models have the $, green business doesn't. But not true!

There are plenty of techies looking for more than a paycheck. Tap into the cooperative economy for values-driven talent. #saveustechies

#saveustechies #sxsw: @ghill 1/3 to 1/2 of initiatives pitched to @treehugger are not really much in terms of sustainability
|
| Mar 15, 2011 at 3:58 PM | |
|
|
#saveustechies no understanding of how to motivate techies or techie volunteers. Look to open source community models
|
| Mar 15, 2011 at 3:58 PM | |

@treehugger says that 1/3 to 1/2 of the products they get pitched on are just marketing tricks and not really green #saveustechies #sxsw
|
