It was a boat built that
could not be sunk, that
was the claim, it was
"unsinkable," testament to the remarkable
new science of "compartmentalizing structure."

The engineers were certain that
even with 30 to 40% of
her outer shell structure flooded,
Titanic, could remain
afloat.  It is highly probable
that war clouds were
looming on the horizon, it is
highly probable that the
engineers were hoping their designs indeed proved
flawless, not so much for safety, that was a given,
but for what she was designed to do, speed!  Most
people haven't known that, because history mentions
it but doesn't focus on it, Titanic was a massive and
fast ship, intended to take the world to the next step
in Atlantic crossings.  That she was unsinkable in the
process, was just a serendipity.

Help from anyone who has any ideas about
how social media might assist our community
would be wonderful please leave your comments
and thank you for your help.  It won't be forgotten
as this process goes forward, have a presentation
to a board of directors next Thursday and am
flush out of ideas?

You Do What You Have To

This first entry carries you downtown,
if you live downtown,
that's no big deal, if you aren't
used to living downtown, it's
a bit of a change.  Change can
be good, wouldn't you agree?
Perhaps you've not made a lot
of changes in your life?  Or
perhaps you've made quite a few? 
When we think about the
difference in social media, however, between that
which takes place inside an enormous city,
where loads of contacts are all buzzing with new
material; to the community where there
are only a few hundred internet users and
they aren't really intense about it; it's quite
a change.  This first entry is going
to take you downtown for a look around,
but we're going to do it in a way that we
hope you will like.  Let's start off
by you seeing what we're about:

So our first series of thoughts has to do with
what do you use to change the way that you are
doing what you are doing at present. First if
you are not using FaceBook you are turning away
a lot of people from what you do. The same thing
is said of Twitter, and the same thing is
said about Google enterprises attempts at
social media interfaces which vary. At one
time they were prepping something they called
the "Wave," currently they are running a
test called "BUZZ," and it seems likely that
BUZZ is going to be kept as a platform within
a platform. With FaceBook you are using a
fairly new but very well known system.
