Manish has probably never kicked a soccer ball, yet I play every Sunday. Dan grew up along the Texas border and has experienced a totally different life than Stacy did in an affluent suburb of Chicago. Manish and Manasi speak to eachother in their native Indian language that the rest of us don’t understand. We’re different, and we can learn from each other whether our topics of interest concern business or life. 
So, today we begin our planned, monthly discussions with our first topics: microformats and XFN, and how to use the ideas introduced in Geoffrey A. Moore’s, “Crossing the Chasm”, to take our box office ticketing software, ThunderTix, to the next level.
