Communities – Everything that has got to do with communities whether they are face to face communities or virtual / online / remote communities
I think we all know by now how wonderfully refreshing, inspiring, re-invigorating, thought-provoking and mind-blowing it is when ideas have sex, plenty of it!, specially, when that happens on a rather frequent basis; non-stop brain frenzy circulating all over the place, as Matt Ridley beautifully described on a TED Talk nearly a year ago; but … Continue reading Why Ideas Are Obvious to You But Amazing to Others
Following up further with that series of blog posts I started a couple of weeks ago, where I would begin another week at work with an inspiring video clip or a story to share across (Remember The Mountain?), I thought I would get things going this time around not with one of those clips, but … Continue reading Life in a Connected Day
Over the last few days, perhaps last couple of weeks, I have been having, once again, that ongoing love / hate relationship with Twitter, inclining itself a little bit more on the hate side of things this time around. Unfortunately. Specially, with #newtwitter, seeing how the overall user experience has deteriorated quite a bit over the … Continue reading Nancy White and Suzy – An Intro to Twitter

A few days back Spike Jones put together one of those wonderfully provocative blog posts on the topic of Online Communities that would surely make more than one person feel rather uncomfortable, specially, if they have got an online space and they call it a “community” , when it isn’t. Indeed, take a look into “The … Continue reading Building an Engaging Community By Gautam Ghosh
There are plenty of times when the whole world goes on to a complete standstill, where everything we know of just simply stops, when one bumps into one of those rather inspiring video clips that you know is going to change the way you view, see and experience things. One of those videos that changes … Continue reading The Power and the Beauty of Connectedness
Continuing further with that series of blog posts I mentioned in the recent past I would start sharing across on the topic of online community building and facilitating successful communities, as another one of my passions and areas of interest, I thought I would drop by over here today and share further details on a recent … Continue reading CommunityBuilders – Online Community Still Crazy After Years with Nancy White
