Dear advisors,

There's no summertime blues at Shareable.  Our traffic grew again this month
thanks to the final stories of the successful Shareable
Futures<http://shareable.net/blog/shareable-futures>series, especially
Benjamin Rosenbaum's "The
Guy Who Worked for
Money<http://shareable.net/blog/the-guy-who-worked-for-money>".
 Here's more on how our month went:

ACTIVITIES & MEDIA
I spoke on a panel about sharing at the Creative Commons salon in San
Francisco, did an hour live radio interview with Carol Brouillet of the
Community Currency show on the Progressive Radio Network, and Spoke at EDF
and Ashoka's Solutions Lab in San Jose.

The Shareable Future's series brought more support from BoingBoing, the
second largest source of readers behind Facebook.  We were also mentioned by
Metro Magazine in Silicon Valley, reviewed by the largest youth radio
channel in Austria - FM4, and Yes! Magazine published two of our stories.

As always, feedback, questions, and ideas are welcome.  Thank you for your
support.

Cheers,

Neal
