Casting is Everything :: Updating Community-Building Process

If there's one thing I learned about making stuff happen, it that casting is everything.

If you've been invited here, you have the capacity to cast others.

I'm going to grant everyone who's joined this multi-media blog admin status as soon as I post this.

Do I hear objections?

If you've never had a blog, go have a look under the hood: upper right-hand corner of the blog page. Click 'Dashboard'.

Just re-sent all the invitations that haven't joined.

A New Year reminder that we could make amazing things here.

What are the skill sets / resources you have that could be digitally shared among us?

What do you NEED to make that distributed production, operatic, epic digital footprint in the sand?

Ask.

Tell.

Ask and tell.

A wiki is a good place to store such information. Open to other ideas. I'm liking Google Docs, too.

Forums seem more popular than email lists by lots of people. Will take a Twitter poll...

What do you folks prefer: forum / Google Groups / Yahoogroups / something else?


Will report back in due course.

google groups. google everything for that matter. it's what i'm showing everyone at the tech crunches because its a one stop integrated thing. maybe not always the best tool out there, but much easier to manage than multiple tools for the average user. over time, they can grow out of google to other things. but my thinking was to gain familiarity and momentum first.
