hi everyone - when i was taking high school calculus a while back, my calculus teacher explained to the class that we would encounter differential equations in my different areas of our lives.
a minute ago i was thinking that the membership in the DDN email list and DDN web site is in some ways a differential equation. the more people who join the list (and web site), the more likely other people will join. the current number of members on the DDN web site is 8,400. thanks for thinking if you know any friends or colleagues to invite onto the site (and email list -- if they so choose.) it takes just a minute or two to register on the DDN site at http://www.digitaldivide.net once the DDN reaches the 10,000 member mark, all of a sudden this community becomes more newsworthy. a single article in a mainstream magazine or newspaper might take the membership to the 50,000 or 100,000 member mark -- within a single week. as i see it, the larger our online community, the more we'll able to get valuable work done for the offline communities we're connected with. - phil -- Phil Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.his.com/pshapiro/ (personal) http://www.digitaldivide.net/blog/pshapiro (blog) http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/pshapiro (technology access work) http://mytvstation.blogspot.com/ (video and rich media) "Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others." - Desiderata _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
