Aglocal is using the open internet to revolutionize farming in America — supply meets demand when responsible meat producers connect with meat eaters. Here’s CEO Naithan Jones talking about the next era of the internet. His company is founded and run from Kansas City, MO.
Over a hundred students from the Raikes School at University of Nebraska packed an auditorium to hear us discuss the future of education with an open internet. I called their representative during the Q&A session to show off the fabulous Contact Congress iPhone app and left a polite voicemail asking if he’d defend internet freedom.
It also was a chance for Adam of LocalMotors to show off the Rally Fighter — you should’ve seen the jaws drop when he explained the awesome car her parked out front was designed by people all over the internet — and Robert to talk about AgLocal , two startups that joined our bus tour and are doing real disruption thanks to the net in industries you may not expect: automotive and farming.
Really enjoyed chatting with all the students afterward, who informed me that Nebraska football fans are widely known as some of the friendliest in football. I realized at that moment that I’m probably not nice enough to be a Cornhusker, but now I really want to be back here for a game.
Quick stop in Kearney, Nebraska on our way to Lincoln! We’ve seen snow, cows, and quite a few internet freedom supporters along the way — we met quite a few truckers here who were excited to hear about the Internet 2012 campaign.
