What is µTalk (2)
Why a µTalk (1)
- Normal social gatherings are not suitable to discuss the stuff that keeps you awake
- Normal social gatherings do not provide the audience that will get the message, so you’re stopped trying
- Spontaneous meetings are no longer frequent enough to share ideas face-to-ace
- Discussion about a particular topic brings it to a higher level!
Why a µTalk (2)
- Ideas create new ideas
- Nothing is too ambitious with the right set of tools; Create the right tools when they are needed
- This meeting is a tool too
Why a µTalk (3)
