I've set up a Ning network and invited some of the smart folks I've met as a professional (persons that couldn't meet otherwise), just to be there.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;intersting discussions arose. They "stole" some time, but I think they provided some "unvaluable value" in return. It's a lot like "random seeding", if the soil is fertile something will grow.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Alberto</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/7105236495600703158/comments/default/3849493211823995390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/7105236495600703158/comments/default/3849493211823995390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.theblockheadblog.co.uk/2008/03/do-it-yourself-social-networking.html?showComment=1208765280000#c3849493211823995390' title=''/><author><name>Alberto Brandolini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00568728817611163214</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_miciPvwKRf0/R9EjDE9ooVI/AAAAAAAAAEM/ePLxbtn05bA/S220/PC272620-1.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.theblockheadblog.co.uk/2008/03/do-it-yourself-social-networking.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354171578524044422.post-7105236495600703158' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/posts/default/7105236495600703158' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-278553600'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354171578524044422.post-5974238651263767737</id><published>2008-03-09T22:19:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-03-09T22:19:00.000Z</updated><title type='text'>Quality wise I understand your fears but a lot of ...</title><content type='html'>Quality wise I understand your fears but a lot of the advantages of these social networks (if they work properly) is that they are self-correcting/governing. If someone posts something in error it is usually corrected by others.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;As for quantity, yes it's an issue but I've learnt to not stress about things, I monitor too many 'things' for me to deal with, but I just check the MUSTS before the COULDS, and some months the SHOULDS never get a look in.. lol</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/7105236495600703158/comments/default/5974238651263767737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/7105236495600703158/comments/default/5974238651263767737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.theblockheadblog.co.uk/2008/03/do-it-yourself-social-networking.html?showComment=1205101140000#c5974238651263767737' title=''/><author><name>Gordon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00858316092785787898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_yxt2pJs6dwE/R15Kte2CKmI/AAAAAAAAAHw/BDfGHn2EbRo/S220/croppedmeinbw.png'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.theblockheadblog.co.uk/2008/03/do-it-yourself-social-networking.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354171578524044422.post-7105236495600703158' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7354171578524044422/posts/default/7105236495600703158' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-74390766'/></entry></feed>
