I think the ability to find and organize 1,000 people is a breakthrough opportunity. One thousand people coordinating their actions is enough to change your world (and make a living.) 1,000 people each spending $1,000 on a special interest cruise equals a million dollars. 1,000 people willing to spend $250 to attend a day-long seminar gives you the leverage to invite just about anyone you can imagine to fly in and speak. 1,000 people voting as a bloc can change local politics forever.

Social Media Marketing Applications - 10 Proven Ideas - Online M
Tenured digital marketing professionals have been applying social media for end business and marketing objectives for years. But what is clearly valuable to some is still a mystery to many. Whether you’re a marketer trying to get buy-in for social media from the top or a small business owner wondering why you should bother, knowing high impact applications of social media are helpful. If you’re looking to build relationships with connected, influential individuals (and what business isn’t?)
The web is a generally free place, but some sites and services want to make it annoying to navigate and enjoy. Stream any video you'd like, see the sites you need, and get at services you thought were down with these tips. Closed betas, deleted cookies, and over-eager marketing firms want you to log into just about every site on the net. If you're just stopping by to read a story or browse around, the time-tested site BugMeNot often has a quickie user/pass combo you can use to log in, along with a Firefox add-on that can do the checking and logging in for you. BugMeNot has gotten a little soft-hearted since its early days, and will sometimes block posting of login details for sites that request it, but is often a handy resource for those who need to wipe their browser or last logged in a long time ago.

Top 10 Ways to Access Blocked Stuff on The Web - Proxy - Lifehac
The web2practice project aims to help people enhance their working practice by understanding the potential of web2.0 tools. Rather than providing a HowTo guide to using these tools, we seek to motivate people to explore the tools for themselves.
Project overview : Web2practice
The Web and its uses have been evolving rapidly during the past decade. The widespread use of social media is now common, and is associated with the use of collaboration platforms, social networking applications and web services, personal publishing and search tools, blogs, wikis, video clips, podcasts and other forms of interlinked interactivity. This phenomenon is having deep and widespread impact in key areas such as business, education, politics, news and entertainment. This interactive environment will be - forever more - the medium for most of our work, our play and wherein we will carry out a wide range of purposeful human activities. It will be where and how we shape much of our culture and will touch all our activities on the local, regional, national, continental and global scale.
About
If your job requires skipping back and forth between several (and vastly different) roles – diverse clients, competing business units, or multiple projects – keeping up with disparate responsibilities can become a major issue. Reacting to each request while setting aside time to proactively research and execute new programs is an unrealistic proposition at best, and flat-out unattainable at worst. As Scott discusses in his "reactionary workflow" tip, more think-based tasks end up relegated to the bottom of to-do lists as immediate requests become more and more urgent.

Doc Searls, The Cluetrain Manifesto, 10 Years Later
This is the mother of all conversations, to borrow from a title to a post Doc Searls wrote, which I link to down below. He's among my personal heroes for thinking about the buyer's side - and doing something about it. Something hopefully radical and, if you're paying attention, really important. He writes about independence, and about providing tools for individuals to manage relationships with organizations.

The Community is the Curriculum: NTEN's Social Media and No
Over the next six months, I will have the pleasure of working with NTEN and Holly Ross on a new community-driven funded by the Surdna Foundation. The reason I am excited about this project is because it represents a new area of inquiry for me as well as a chance to deepen my learning in the topics that I've been writing about here on this blog for years. But the best reason of all is a chance to work with other people who are passionate about nonprofits and social media. Here's the project description (and it's evolving) The Be The Media Project is a community of people from nonprofits who are interested in learning and teaching about how social media strategies and tools can enable nonprofit organizations to create, compile, and distribute their stories and change the world.

The question that keeps coming up is: how to make the case that working through and investing in networks will produce the intended social impact? At the same time, the belief in network impact is becoming more widespread–-the potential for organizing without organizations , the power of developing a strategic understanding of webs of relationships , and the promise of openly sharing both data and new knowledge . There is more and more experimentation with network models for social impact.

Emotional Competency - Dialogue
We have suddenly gone beyond ordinary conversation and are now beginning to hear, truly understand, learn from each other, and create together as we share authentic expression . We are thinking together, meaning now flows freely, and we are learning from the transformation that is dialogue. Dialogue is the creative thinking together that can emerge when genuine empathetic listening, respect for all participants, safety, peer relationships, suspending judgment, sincere inquiry, courageous speech, and discovering and disclosing assumptions work together to guide our conversations.Technological change must always precede economic growth. We are going about the process of Globalization as if economic growth can precede technological change. This is the singular flaw of market capitalism that needs to be reversed. The Innovation Economy will not be delivered by corporations, Government or Academia.
The Next Economic Paradigm | The Ingenesist Project
Interesting day, sessions were designed by using the World Cafè methodology. 20 minutes in different rooms with different specialists in issues such as micro finance, liaison officers, KIA International, fundraising, communication and marketing. In the afternoon, it was time to learn about wikis, yammers, and blogs. The difference between the three, and the purpose of each one. The system is not perfect, but it is useful.
