Right Answer, Wrong Question

Back in the 1950s, just after the transistor was invented, the best engineering minds were going crazy trying to figure out how to hook up a transistor to work like a Vacuum Tube. It took a while to get it that they needed to play to the strengths of the transistor. With social media, we’re trying to monitize it – make it work like old economy economic machinery: Minimize Costs/Maximize return/Force Buyers to buy. The whole Internet meme is based on the gift economy. The people who wrote the foundational software did it for free, to implement their visions of a perfected world. Get with the gift economy, build relationships, and contribute without thought of what you’re going to get back.

THAT’S who we do it!

I feel I’m in the dark with social media, thanks so much for organizing, sharing and generally being “good guys” to do this. What kind of sponsors are you looking for?

What a great idea. There are professionals without any idea how important the Social media is.
I have to work on, to work to gain more knowledge about all of the opportunities which we have to grab, but wisely, KNOWING why we do it.
This is the moment when I am working on my http://www.agneza.com I have neglected it, and IT IS NOT GOOD. So, let me do my best, the right moment is NOW, and I am going to take the first baby step to have it improved. the REBarcamp is something I am looking forward to participate.
