In which I endeavor to collect, catalogue, and contemplate One Million Splotz of Glue.
I should probably not use the word tool. I am looking for a programmer or a webapp.
Specifically, I want to build an online community todo list. Sort of a mashup of 43Things and Digg where people can create their community todo lists and others can connect and offer support.

I got three Splotz of Glue. A damn fine start. I think we should set a goal of ten more for week two and then grow exponentially from there.
I connected with two new allies. Another damn fine start. I think we shall be bold and try for ten more as well. […]

I am in a Red State/Blue State marriage (and whatever the equivalent is for religion). We disagree on almost everything with the exception of baseball, road trips, and WoW. She is a fan of Rudy and resides in the anyone but Hillary camp. I have not made up my mind yet, since […]

If you ask me to analyze a problem and propose a solution, I will present to you an alternative process. If you ask the same of my former business partner, he will tell you to get new leadership. If you ask the same of my graduate advisor, he will deconstruct the meanings of […]

Doc has graciously taken the time to respond to my ask. And while he does not supply a Splotz of Glue he offers something better - things to think about. Please read his post and let us meet back here to discuss. There is a lot to unpack.

I am looking for mentors and allies who can help me develop these ideas.
I am looking references that can inform or shape this campaign.
Is anyone doing this or has done it and can share lessons learned?
What do you think of the Community Building Todo List (workshop and facilitator team) concept?
Who should I talk to or […]

It is time to begin.
I have decided to ask George Nemeth, Siel, Doc Searls, Valdis Krebs, and my mother what they do to build community.

I will […]
