The State of "NOW."

My cool  friend David Cohen is planning Atlanta's first #140 Conference. 

The New York-based founders say the #140conf events "provide a platform for the worldwide Twitter community to: listen, connect, share and engage with each other, while collectively exploring the effects of the emerging real-time internet on business."

David attended one of the early 140 Conferences and says, "I saw people like Gary Vaynerchuk and Jeff Jarvis speak along with cool mommy-preneurs and music and TV people and just thought it was a great, different, weird event."

David thought Atlanta should be "next." So he got a greenlight to launch #140 here.

Says David, "I'd like to see a great event that cross-pollinates different communities touched and strengthened by the cultural ripple these technologies cause.  I'd like to hear stories of leadership and innovation (not necessarily just tech innovation) and idiosynchratic, delightful surprising uses.
