Meeting Kevin Slavin: Tumblr's Brilliance
In my leisurely talk with Kevin Slavin yesterday, we touched upon many topics. On my part I was very eager to get out of him the Area/Code story. And I did. He relayed how it was two people for a year. And how they grew organically for a few good years until they got bought by Zynga, and now his team is Zynga's New York City branch.
And of course we talked microfinance a bunch, which is why we were meeting in the first place. Here was a social gaming master. And so I brought up the topic of putting social gaming to the service of microfinance. And he said he was not so sure gaming was a good fit for microfinance.
We both agreed social media can play a much larger role than social gaming when it came to microfinance.
Rudiments Of A Corporate Culture
Passion For Microfinance, Passion For Social Media
Use Of Social Media Is Like Physical Fitness
Social Media: Listening Tools Are The Next Frontier
