This is the very last of my 2009 NTC Preview podcasts. It's also the longest, because Vince is a very interesting guy, with a lot of interests and a talent for connecting people and ideas. 

Vince is leading the 2009 NTC session, "Fundster: How Philanthropy is Adapting Social Network Practice". You may remember America's Giving Challenge. Or maybe you've already voted in the NetSquared Challenge. This is the sort of thing we're talking about -- transparent philanthropy driven by the people.  The idea of mixing social media and philanthropy certainly has its detractors, but there's no doubt that it's shaking up how we think about funding and fundraising. As Vince says in the podcast, "It's way too early for dogma."

As long as I had Vince on the phone, I wanted to get answers to all kinds of things I've been thinking about lately. When we finish talking about his session, we cover everything from We Are Media, to Vocalo, to how to save newspapers.  

Oh, and Vince professes his love for See's Candy, too. I wonder if he prefers the Bridge Mix or the Truffles?
