in Unanswered questions from Tribes by Seth Godin on Broadcasting Brain
There was open enrollment for a while with Triiibes. He posted the link on his blog, and if you explained yourself a bit you were accepted. I'm not sure you had to be recommended. You do now, however.
Did Seth invite Dr. Mani? Or did the fellow find him on his own? Dunno. what seems to have intrigued most people was Seth's invitation to be part of a book he was writing. In order to illustrate the concepts, he wanted them to exist in the purest form first. And because Seth has a following, he was able to pull that off.
You have a following. And a relatively sizable one is my guess. I don't know. I do know that those of us that "follow" you (read and digest your thoughts and writings) love the way you think and express things. Therefore, you already have your own tribe. And if you don't think you're leading it, so much the better for the therefore-must-be-empowered followers.
You and your folks could write a book, or could come together for something else. No reason not to. Just need a rallying cry, focal point, purpose... even if it's the green-brained, anti-exclusive, lunatic fringe, it's still a gang going someplace with you, in your light, on your journey....
That's all I was trying to say.

That's cool, I appreciate what you are saying.
I'm thankful that I have an audience at this point, regardless of size.
Thanks for commenting!

in Unanswered questions from Tribes by Seth Godin on Broadcasting Brain
I'm in the Ning Triiibe, and as a habitual tribal heretic, I'm struggling. I ebb and flow with activity there, rarely feeling intelligent enough to comment. When I do, I tend to get lost in my own point!
On the one hand, Triiibes feels like a luxurious First Class Lounge at an airport...but there's an element of people posturing to show how clever they are. The beset thing is the access you have to some very busy, interesting and cool people, who, for Seth, are prepared to tolerate nobodies and engage in dialogue. Thus, there are intriguing learning opportunities. I would never have discovered a Becky Blanton had it not been for the "lounge" Seth has created.
Maybe that's where the change begins... by creating watering holes for the well-known and unknown to come together to learn from one another...and maybe that's where the seismic shift is that Seth feels his book, Tribes, has created. Could you have had one without the other? Would all of those folks have come there had it not been for someone like Seth who was in the throes of writing a book about it all?
Maybe there's room for a Mark Dykeman book on a his own comet and corona ----

interesting: I don't know if he would have envisaged the group as a place where the newbie mixes with the pro, so to speak, but maybe. That's certainly an indirect benefit of that group. I don't think this kind of group would ever have formed spontaneously, though.
I'd love to publish a book. Need to write one first...

in Use Twitter100 to Easily Keep Tabs on Your 1000 Friends on Sellsius
Thank you for this. I had been using Tweetdeck, but even that is hard to read and keep up with. This sounds like a much better idea. It's still really hard to get people to "converse" on Twitter - the medium still tends to be a one-way announcement system. Everyone following everyone else and their links, to make sure they haven't missed anything.

Yes, it's more visually appealing IMO.
You might have better luck igniting a conversation if you reply to a tweet in your local area (see http://www.twitterlocal.net/

in If I don’t wave back… on Michael Valiant
The shower, I'm afraid, like everyone else! though I agree there is something splendidly soothing about driving. I use that time to listen to my iPod (via the car's audio system) and catch up on all the "free" seminars one can download.

Absolutely! The shower holds strong as my #2 Thinking Spot :)
I used to listen to my iPod on the way home, but my drive is only about 10 minutes. You can't listen to much in 10 minutes, but it's amazing how many great thoughts can bubble up in that time!
