  4. Hi Peg, I really liked the SxSW presentation and read your book on the airplane in a Nook reader. Problem is all those great links were inactive. How I can get access to the link version? By the way my company linkapedia is creating a new knowledge sharing platform that will connect our users by interests. We are already the largest knowledge graph every created. Hope you can use it to generate interesting content based on our curation.
