About Me:
Michael Furdyk is the Co-founder and Director of Technology for TakingITGlobal.org, a global online community for young people, engaging members in over 200 countries and territories. In the past, he
has turned his interest in technology into a series of successful online companies, co-founding MyDesktop.com in 1997 (later sold to Internet.com in 1999) and BuyBuddy.com in 1999 (which closed a $4.5-million round of funding in late 2000). Over the last few years, Michael
has done work for many large corporations, including HP, Xerox, CIBC, IBM, and recently a 6-month consulting engagement with Microsoft in Seattle, Washington.
As one of Teen People's "20 teens that will change the world", Michael has shared his experiences as a member of the Net Generation by speaking at dozens of events, including two of Microsoft's Anytime, Anywhere Learning Summits, the Boca Raton gathering of The Business
Council, and TED11. He has made numerous media appearances
including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Time Magazine, Fast Company, Business 2.0, BusinessWeek, CNN, MSNBC, USA Today, Globe and Mail, and the National Post.
