Hey Jeremy, I think this is the first time we've chatted on here… so, nice to meet you and thank you for your comment. I love the photobooth idea. Similar to what I was saying to Laura, I feel like that is definitely a great next step for businesses once they start down that path. Hopefully they will take 5 minutes to post pictures of their users all over their walls, and then dive deeper into the ideas you and Laura bring up.

Laura, I am definitely a huge fan of the community you have created for your network creators (not to mention all the other networks you have enabled). I think this is definitely a very simple second step for a company. What I love about the idea of printing off pages of avatars is almost any business can do that *this very minute* and start down that path.

Honestly, for me, gTask as an ssb has filled this purpose.

I don't 'quite' follow… I've never used twitter to keep track of all the things on my mind that I need to be working on. I mean, I realize their original prompt was, 'what are you doing'. But, I didn't give it my full minutiae.

We have a photo booth in our lobby, and when we get geocaching visitors at the office we ask them to use the photo booth. They keep a photo and we keep a copy (and a digital copy is saved on our network). The photo we keep goes up in the lobby for other videos and our employees to see.

We also ask visitors to bring a souvenir coffee mug from their area when they visit. All of our coffee cups have a story, and we drink a lot of coffee.

maybe we could learn from twitter, and google docs, and google wave and somehow do something in between, more for tasks and less for status updates.

wasn't this the original purpose of twitter?

We humanize our Network Creators with http://creators.ning.com. One of the Guidelines there is to use a real name or nickname, which means it is a community of real(ish) people, rather than one network name talking to another network name. I like to think it keeps conversations there more civil as well.

I always keep a Moleskine Cahier in my back pocket for notes on the go. But, much like my gNotes hack, I don't use it for long-term storage. I process them into my GTD system when I get back to my computer.

I lost a notebook once, an I don't trust paper as a long-term solution anymore. =(
