Tara Hunt
Tara ‘miss rogue’ Hunt has spent most of her adult life online, either participating in or building communities. From the first wave of online marketing when she was in Canada, showing companies how to brave this new medium, all the way to being part of one of the companies in Silicon Valley that led the wave into Web 2.0: the participatory web.
Tara understands how the the participatory web is changing all of our relationships: B2C, B2B and C2C. She doesn’t believe in pushing messages or creating strong brands, only in the power of building relationships. She co-founded Citizen Agency in 2006 with the mission of teaching her clients how to work more effectively with the communities they serve and how to embrace and adjust to all of the changes in culture businesses are facing. She maintains a successful blog over at HorsePigCow.
Tara is writing a book on community marketing and speaks all over the world on the same topic. She is also very much involved in grassroots online communities, spending all of her free time on Barcamp, Coworking, Zipkarma and Winecamp. She is also a supporter of the Open Source movement, the EFF, Creative Commons and community-based standards movements like Microformats and OpenID.

Horoscope - Moon in Capricorn - What is your moon sign?
So, found out today my moon is in Capricorn, which is one dimension of why I suck at romantic relationships. And, it is in direct conflict with my Cancerian self as well as my romantic idealism, represented by something in my relationship house. The hardest part of this is that...well...it is true.

Op-Ed Columnist - The Formerly Middle Class - NYTimes.com
In times of recession, people spend more time at home. But this will be the first steep recession since the revolution in household formation. Nesting amongst an extended family rich in social capital is very different from nesting in a one-person household that is isolated from family and community bonds. People in the lower middle class have much higher divorce rates and many fewer community ties. For them, cocooning is more likely to be a perilous psychological spiral.

Op-Ed Contributor - Have You Driven a Bus or a Train Lately? - NYTimes.com
The Obama administration should ask the companies, as a condition of financial assistance, to begin shifting from being just automakers to becoming innovative “transportmakers.” As Barack Obama’s new chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, recently said: “You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste. It’s an opportunity to do important things you would otherwise avoid.”
