A couple of weeks back I got to meet Ze Frank thanks to Nick Douglas. Ze is a very thoughtful chap, we had an interesting discussion about the dark side of community.

Ze Frank lives in New York and is one of the pioneers of vidblogs, last year he won a Vloggie for his “The Show.” He makes his money by speaking at conferences. (zefrank - live shows.)

Ze has one of the most interesting web sites with hours of fun. Check out this item!
