We attended our first Commonwealth Club event last night, which was put on by Inforum, a hip, young division of the club. The topic was about how San Francisco is setting the stage for new media, and the guest speakers were "four white dudes," SFist's Brock Keeling, Muni Diaries' Jeff Hunt, and The Bold Italics' Michael Maness, with Twitter's Robin Sloan moderating. more ›
