A system based upon user sharing across the Internet where there are multiple home bases for users might involve licensing of Clickshare technology on terms which could financially benefit me. I have not been, since 2002, a director, officer or employee of Clickshare, although I do occasionally advise its management, generally without compensation.
I am also a founding shareholder in CircLabs Inc., along with three other individuals and the University of Missouri's Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute.
