It seems like most of my blogs tend to mention Jack Dorsey… Well this sticks to the theme. I love how at Square, they have flat panel monitors around the office and when someone signs for a transaction via Square, the signature pops up on the monitor. They take an intangible and make a visual depiction of it.
He posted it using Instagram, which is my favorite social network right now.
here is the link.

We are definitely living in 2011, and when I see Square I am reminded that Jack Dorsey is leading the way.

    Dreaming (of dirt). part 0/10.

    Over the next 10 days I am kicking off my blog. I want to write about what I am passionate about, which currently is real estate investing. The kick off of reyn.co is a 10 part series of micro lessons that I learned at Greg Cullen’s Dare2Dream Seminar, which I took part in this past weekend, in Los Angeles, CA. Dare2Dream was a seminar which taught average people and real estate professionals alike, how to make money in real estate. I am excited about buying dirt.

    I think Twitter’s a success for us when people stop talking about it, when we stop doing these panels and people just use it as a utility, use it like electricity

    @jack says, “don’t pull a twitter”

    jack doresey, DEMO

    a colleague of mine and my best friend @chrisvallejos were talking about partnerships today and it inspired me to study how to make a good one.

    I was thinking that Jack Dorsey would have good things to say about starting a venture based on his successes and ability to distill complex issues into simple products.

    jack dorsey, the co-founder of twitter and square is one of my favorite entrepreneurs currently. He said that if he were to do twitter all over again they would have had better “instrumentation about data and analytics.”

    when you set up good safeguards, you can correct the trajectory.

    Now his focus has changed. He said his latest venture “Square needs to be known for its availability, its trustworthiness and its minimalism.”
