The biggest impact of this change is to fundamentally change the nature of ownership of the means of production.

Reg A may even be better than Title III because it’s about allowing the public to invest alongside sophisticated investors into large deals.

I did the Forum a few years ago in New Zealand and I know a few other people in the startup scene who have done it recently. Personally, I found the marketing side distracting for the first day of the course because I kept analysing everything (from the room layout to the viral mechanic). Then at some point during the weekend, I realised that I did this type of meta-analysing with everything in my life instead of just being present and actually engaged. From then on I got a lot out of the weekend and it was probably the main factor in me leaving my corporate job and moving to London.

Great resource. There's now so many startup spaces in London that it's time to be a bit more discerning.

Eric has some great stuff. He and I disagree on getting expert advice, but we agree about being as practical and pragmatic as possible when creating marketing for a new product: http://www.ericschulz.com/1/post/2012/05/make-your-package-s... I love his stuff.

Thanks BobbyDavid, the icons are an experiment. I've been using DiggDigg (now owned by the team at Buffer) for social sharing but I needed somewhere to put the links to my profiles (not the links to tweet about the content). "Flare" (by the guys who did Tim Ferris's landing pages) is good, but not quite perfect. I'll keep iterating. Thanks!
