Ketchum Speaks to Tim Hwang about ROFLCon and working with organic internet culture

Tim Hwang
Tim got his start on the internets as the co-founder of ROFLCon, a series of conferences that gather together scholars, commentators, and internet celebrities to discuss the past, present, and future of memes and popular web culture. Currently, he works as a junior partner at Robot, Robot, and Hwang -- a legal research and development firm that seeks to experiment with large-scale automation and data mining of legal work. He is also the founder of the Awesome Foundation for the Arts and Sciences, a worldwide alliance of trustees that provide $1,000 grants monthly to projects that work to forward the interest of awesomeness in the universe. Way back when, he was also a researcher at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard. He lives in San Francisco, and enjoys Choco Tacos. He twitters http://www.twitter.com/timhwang and blogs at http://www.brosephstalin.com..

Tim recently spoke at Ketchum's Respect the Internet conference.

About Respect the Internet
Is marketing ruining the internet? What role can and should companies play in shaping online culture? Will marketing and internet culture ever be able to coexist in a state of beautiful harmony? Is there a middle ground between what marketers want to offer and what Web users actually want? These are the questions we ask ourselves every day at Ketchum, and on December 3, 2010, we brought our brilliant friends together to try to find answers.
