Hiyas, Yes.. Fascinating set of ideas, Ken, Rob, Randall, and I can see how exciting this is, Ruth. Perhaps indeed a sort of ideas pulling time/day/activity might be apt.
However, I think Annie's point, in context is something that needs to be discussed a bit more. Email? Yes.. My alarm bells went when in one of the posts someone - apologies for slippery memory - mentioned an idea of getting younger, new people into the network/discussions. Having a few teens, recently ex-teens running around + experiences with fairly young students at times, my anecdotal experience is that of email being one of the Only shared personal communication tools among all. Indeed, fascinating the various possible technological tools as they are, I think people are drawn towards Content and Other people to network with - rather than email, facebook, whatsapp, etc.. These thoughts/suspicions are based on a few things. Some of which are: * noticed migration from facebook by some young people. that was based on their parents being there and they rather fancied having a parental free zone/time.. * various groups of shared interests seem to use various tools based on certain online historicity of the groups/clusters rather than any seeming specific difference the tool offers. * the fact facebook has a nasty interface and people continue despite that. Indeed, in terms of online networking culture, it seems to me rather analogous to clubs, pubs and cafes. This in these way that we tend to have places that used to be "in" but might continue to attract the same crowd they did X years ago. Logically it might seem Ouch!! because one might see a cafe frequented by a given group having same or very similar interest as another, perhaps newer group, gathering at a different cafe. Why not get together, bang ideas, get enriched??!! Gladly though, life doesn't seem to be logical when let loose.. Anyhow, point being is that if indeed getting to other yet to be included people is the aim here, perhaps other questions than tools usage should be asked. Perhaps its hacking a cultural narrative/sequence sort of an operation? Am not suggesting that everything requires a hammer/email. However since email does seem to be a common tool that crosses many divides, perhaps the question of participation is not entirely to do with tools?
