Every week we are amazed at how much wisdom can fit into 140 characters (the character limit per post on Twitter).
Our contribution
Robert Swanwick approached us to co-start this community. Together we thought about how to build a strong network on a volatile medium such as Twitter.
We designed and built KMers.org. Eelke Boezeman (our CIO) did this with his bare hands. Using his experience with interaction design, he constructed an innovative virtual home for the #KMers community.
Johan Lammers (our CEO) acts as Chief Operations Officer of the KMers.org community. This means he is responsible for marketing and daily management of the network. He is also responsible for getting new topics and moderators.
