press about squarepeg.
Our Ears are Burning.
From all the incredibly nice things people are saying about us! We are super excited to be working Squarepeg, and it looks like there's more than a few of you out there who are excited to start using it. If you'd like to say something about us, too, head over to our page to see logos and blog guidelines.
Nice Videos.

Nice Words.
We sat down to speak with Isaac from Squarepeg and were really impressed with some of their ideas and what they are doing. We work mainly with young people and have been trying to figure out how to connect in a way that is productive for us and satisfying for them. Squarepeg seems to be working on some of the problems we've been trying to solve, so we're excited to give their site a test run in the coming months.

Squarepeg’s vision is a progressive movement to leverage current social trends to create substance, change and, finally ACTION. No longer is "social networking" only the simple act of peering into the lives of others. It now can be used to share ideas regarding the stuff that really matters, the issues that need a true compilation of perspectives. Squarepeg seems to be working in this direction, and I fully support and encourage the proliferation of such social networking enterprise.

With Focus the Nation, we have a lot of participants who are dispersed pretty much all over the country. Having everyone feel connected to this movement and our impact is a big challenge for us, but to be honest I feel like dedicating resources to social media has burned us more than it has helped. We just haven't been able to find the return on investment yet, but Squarepeg seems to have solutions to some of the issues we've been struggling with. If we invest in online communication, we want it to help us move people offline, so we're excited to have Squarepeg use Focus the Nation as a testing ground this fall.

The Archimedes Movement is working to engage citizens from all walks of life so that we can advance solutions to the common problems we face, starting with the health care crisis. We have nearly 40 community chapters. Though most of our supporters are here in Oregon, they are dispersed geographically. We would like to feel more connected to all of our members (and the members to each other). We have created a drupal-based site, pages for each chapter and can schedule events, but it just isn't doing quite what we want and we aren't able to invest a lot of resources into improving it right now. After talking with the people from Squarepeg, we think integrating their software with our current site might be a great solution so that we can get better feedback from all our members and make this grass-roots process more democratic. We're waiting for them to finish the beta site, and hope to see it soon.
