This keynote was hosted by Rob Hyndman, and was about Philanthropy 2.0.

• Tom Williams was at one point Apple’s youngest employee at 15 years old; pioneered the online music industry, and in 2004 launched givingmeaning.com to mobilize energy for positive social change
• Austin Hill has been founding companies for 15 years, such as zeroknowledge, now radiopoint.
• On describing the transition between for profit and philanthropy:  TW, describes living the Gordon Gecko life and having a middle life crisis at 21 years old; discussed his indulgences, such as writing a book, and running into an epiphany with a local teen being killed … and running into a gap between wanting to do something and not having the tools to do it
• Tom Williams wants to be a “bum”. ;)
• Austin: ZeroKnowledge, the first forway into social technology, in an effort to change the way that privacy would work; radiopoint emerged out of the dot crisis profitable.  His epiphany had to deal with his brother dying of cancer, only 19 at the time.  At the TED conference, he began to think about the collective action on the Internet — and the empowering them with tools to do it.  His new startup allows people to do that in a real way, but also in a fun way.
• Was “saving the world” a common theme?  Tom Williams discussed a deep imperative — a need to do something for the sake of doing that thing, rather than profits, in the pre dot com boom.  Because the tools are easy, where is the vision?  Where is the passion?  TW: “charity is the most selfish thing in the world — we do it to feel good”.
• “What was meaning like in Web1.0?” Austin Hill — saw activism online from a privacy point of view, and historically its not a new meme.  There is a Maslow’s hierarchy of Broadband … where access is at the bottom, but privacy is next — and at the top is connectivity; the power of human agency starts to set in because the tools are easy and they exist.
