Whistle Stops 11/13/06

Whistlestops_39 Catching up on some good conversations on Community, Communication and the Tools available:

  • Creepy or Community Building by Beth Kanter at Beth’s Blog: A discussion about and with MyBlogLog on whether the widgets are way cool … or way scary. My take? I see engagement and improvement by the MyBlogLog team – and while I’ve run into some creepy – I’ve met some fantastic people (sorta like what happens at Panera).
  • Still Seeking a Name by Sherry Heyl at An Entrepreneur’s Journey: Planning for an upcoming conference, the folks at What a Concept! share with us their white board, their goals, their target — and ask for feedback on a name. Take part in this exercise and be better prepared when you’re up to bat.
  • Service: It’s Not "Geek" to Robert Stephens, Either by Tom Vander Well at QAQnA: My close friend shares his blog conversation with the Geek Squad founder. Maybe these two should be speakers at the What a Concept conference above. Fantastic use of the tools available.
