All of us in the BN community can help!

Thanks for the offer to help. It is much appreciated.

I think we can all help in making Blogging Network even better by taking ownership of the incredible place we have here already. Whether that means more active participation as writers and readers, spreading the word amongst friends and family, or contributing to the discussion on Town Square, there are so many ways to add to the momentum already seen on BN.

I personally would love to see Blogging Network grow into the most significant community of writers and readers, a place where we can share our views with each other -- a virtual marketplace, if you will, for ideas and discussion. We want to see every side of an issue and every part of the world represented. And we want Blogging Network to pay ever larger amounts to writers so that they can continue to do what they most love -- write regularly!

We covered some of this in the About Us section, under Repeating History and Vision.

Thanks Mihail, btw...would you be prepared to share your broad vision of where you want to bring BN to and how some of us who are now BN fanatics may help you bring it forward?

No I'm not on Tickle.

Doors to Davos are opened if you're a leader in your field or doing some great work in one of the Third World countries that is relevant to the discussion (currently the ongoing religious wars). If you're doing good work I'm sure your Davos invitation will show up soon.

Mihail, are you with Tickle? how does one get into it? Does it open doors to Davos? What about The Global Business Network of the former Shell guys and Brand Stewart; are there avenues to their circles?

You just might
I'm three degrees away from Pierre on one of the "social networking" sites out there. And more importantly thousands of people are using such sites to find dates, friends or on the business networking sites like LinkedIn, employees and consultants for projects underway.

horses for courses, i suppose Mihail...where is the value in the social network...will my subscription give me good chance for example to get anywhere near Craig Barrett, or Jim Clark, or Andreesen, Berners-Lee, Omidyar, Anne Murphy, or Carly Fiona, Steve Jobs or even Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer...hey if it will get me to have coffee with Howard Shultz...I'll sign on...

my $6 per month gets me an occasional email to Mihail_Lari...that's some value I'm prepared to keep...
