DISQUS

I joined your fan page to participate in your Facebook experiment. I'm curious how good of an outpost this will become.

Chris,

Your curve this morning inspired a circle post to flow out of me. http://mandalalifemedia.com/2009/01/understandi...

Thanks for the spherical inspiration!

Great insights Chris!

Getting in relationship with curves in our life and biz is huge. By thinking spherically you can bring much more awareness to your movement. To many curves without insight and growth, you just go in circles. Connect the curves with insight and you move forward up the spiral. Stay in the center of the spiral and you see all the curves coming.

Excellent Post! I love the broad view you share here. If you understand this the possibilities are almost endless with using social media.

Right on with this one Chris. Running my own company I've had all these roles. It's a lot easier to focus on the role you're the most excellent at and find some awesome people to play with to fill the other roles. This isn't always easy.

@Amber - I love what you said about visionary translators. Being able to translate vision and fully enroll co-creators is a real art and an excellent path to success. Being flexible and generous with the vision sure helps.

Great Post Amrita! I've learned so much about business from watching creative artists express themselves and tapping into my creative parts to discover new ways of doing.

I agree with your thoughts about podcasting. To make money directly from this media is not simple. Using podcasting to showcase what else you do can make sense. For fun it makes sense as well. Although blogging and twittering is easier in many ways I don't see podcasting as dead. The form is evolving and these network biz models will evolve or go away.

Form and structure in business is changing faster than ever. Staying light and flexible is the way I'm flowing.

Great information Chris! Thank you for organizing and sharing it.

John,

Thanks for connecting with me through Zaadz. I honestly am still evaluating Zaadz. So far to me it feels chaotic. If I had a very lot of time I think i could dive in and contribute. I love the mission. I think it is extremely easy to use (setup and posting) and it has enormous potential if it brings people together to create real world projects. I feel like it can be difficult to communicate in the pods. I haven't felt very comfortable jumping in and I see very few actual discussions of substance.

To me that has been my challenge so far with social networking but I haven't jumped on with MySpace yet. When I moved to Kauai 3 years ago I decided to lower my profile a bit and focus on the inner journey. My perspective on social networking comes from the idea of linking people together that have like interests and what to do something beyond themselves or their smaller community. 5 years ago I was involved with local community business building organization. I was all over the idea of networking our local business community, local non profit arts organizations, our non profit committees with technology. Very few people got what I thought was obvious. The opportunity to connect and collaborate so outweights the counter competitiveness that exists in the world.

I really enjoyed your post! I still believe that technology will connect us but it still needs to be more transparent than it is now.
