This is an innovative model that I can directly impact to stimulate individual creativity and innovation especially in this economy (maybe I'd like to run one of these myself one day) 3. I want to research and document app usability/UX and team organization patterns (I think it would be cool to write a paper) 4. People- so many cool people across Silicon Valley industry involved in this program 5. Credibility of a VC while still getting your hands dirty

Let me know if you have any questions. Now worries if you want to do your own thing this summer but at least share this opportunity with one of your friends that might be a good candidate.

This spring I am working at Twitter on a pretty cool project and was offered the opportunity to continue with the project into the summer. However, I need to find an engineer willing to help me build out the product. (only caveat? Unpaid). But an AWESOME experience to work on a project and own its development and launch, at the hottest company in the valley. If interested, please let me know. I'd have to chat with the folks from Twitter Tuesday morning (5/25) about this with an answer so let me know if you (or anyone you know) may be interested asap! You can email me or call me (917 392 8871). Thanks!
