Linking In Editspot

Reading about LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman and the idea that every individual is a small business. Great principles. Looking for ideas of how Editspot and LinkedIn can become more integrated. I'm certain that individuals need to create full web sites beyond their existing profiles on social networks. Excited by the opportunities in front of us.

New Perspective

Always great to end a week with a fresh outlook. Finding new possibilities for Editspot thanks to challenges we are facing. Next steps will be difficult, but I feel we are ready. The software has reached the level of function and form that resonates with those that I am currently meeting. Everyone will have their own web site to control their online reputation. Looking forward to being an integral part of this movement and showing everyone what is possible. If you haven't tried Editspot then set-up your own Spotlets today. (They're free!) Let me know what you think.

Future Energy

Looking forward to new energy today. Many changes and challenges on the horizon, but also have great people behind me. New chapters are always interesting and provide fresh perspectives as well. Seeking kindred spirits and like-minded professionals for creating serious disruption in technology and marketing. Time to move things in a new direction and flip the paradigms. How did Steve Jobs once say it?, “We're here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?”

3Tweets4Katie.com

Great project benefiting late musician Katie Reider's widowed partner. 3Tweets4Katie.com was developed by Metaphor Studio to assist with creating a Twitter-based fundraiser at Taste of Cincinnati for Memorial Day weekend. An anonymous donor offered $1 per tweet for Katie Reider and ended up actually upping the ante to $3 in honor of the number "3" meaning "I Love You" to the Reider family. Amazing how a community can come together when they believe in something. There is real passion in Cincinnati and there are people who care about real things. Not sure how many fundraisers have taken place through Twitter yet, but I'm certain this won't be the last.

New editspot

Had a great meeting this evening regarding editspot. Looks very promising for a multi-site license. Seeing new applications for the product daily. Trying to make others understand that this is not a technology play. While the platform is supported by technology that has been invented, the use of the technology is often for less technical benefits. Always interesting challenges.

Twitter Elite

With everyone being challenged in our business and personal lives right now I am witnessing people running in droves to social media. Those that are late to the game are being instructed by many of the "old guard" on the correct protocol and etiquette of tweeting, status updates and connection behaviors. My opinion is that this is far too heavy-handed within communities of technology where the changes are occurring so rapidly that newbies may be showing the veterans a thing or two. Don't tell people what to do, witness their authentic interactions.

Kindred

I am finally getting a blog going because I can see that I can truly make it a part of my own site soon. With plenty to express and communicate myself in other media I've decided to start this blog with subjects that I hope will spur dialogue and elicit feedback. I asked on Facebook and Twitter a few weeks ago:

Ran Mullins wonders what really makes a spirit kindred? Can that kindred quality be created?

This topic really interests me because I feel that authenticity is really at the core of this notion.
Does anyone who finds this want to share their thoughts with me on this subject?
