The 2nd Age of Conversation
As many of you know, I was delighted to be part of the first Age of Conversation with Drew Mclellan and Gavin Heaton. In fact I interviewed them on The Engaging Podcast about the lessons they learned on bringing together a global project which was a fascinating insight into the world of collaboration and social media.
The call has gone out for the next project and I love the idea of the internet coming together to share, to collaborate and explore a topic to help others develop their thoughts and their thinking. Up to now there are many people who have signed up
Angela Maiers, Drew McLellan, Luc Debaiseieux, Ryan Karpeles, Greg Verdino, Lori Magno, Gavin Heaton, Connie Reece, Anna Farmery, The Kaiser, Katie Chatfield, Tim Jackson, Doug Meacham, C.B. Whittemore, Becky Carroll, Gordon Whitehead, Daniel B. Honigman, Daria Rasmussen, Jay Ehret, Jasmin Tragas, Jamey Shiels, Organic Frog, Bill Gammell, Nathan Snell, Stephen Landau, Stephen Collins, Stephen Smith, Mark Earls, Steven Verbruggen, Neil Perkin, Brett Macfarlane, Dino Demopoulos, Chris Wilson, Asi Sharabi, Mike Sansone
This is a hugely worthwhile project - with all money raised going to Variety: The Children's Charity.

I agree with your thoughts, conversations were how you found new friends in the "real" world...now conversations have brought me an array of wonderful online friends :)

Anna, I "re-upped" for the second version as well. Collaborating on Age of Conversation was one of the best things I did last year - what an amazing project for a good cause. It has been great getting to know so many of the collaborators.
