PortlandWikiOnFire - we got the first one and we got Discogs, any others?

ConnectedWiki - or what some folks call Portals / Organized Content.

Green Party and other starts. Could use a helpin hand. Sign up on the category page of any one that you are interested in building. When someone contacts you - start building together. This is our first UnContest. Talk to Tak about how to structure them. Good ideas.

BarnStars - Badge-lets

RecentChangeCamp

O M G! RecentChangesCamp! get curt down there with me and kristina, julia and Keith and anyone else that wants to WikiTrain there!!!

Can AboutUs use our three thousand dollar donation to get people there from PortlandWikiOnFire and NW Area?

We interview everyone for our weblog. We got a big cross section of people as our audience. WideAudience (RAY!!) We have always felt bad that we have a WideAudience - but it is an interesting place to be... what sells best to that group of people?

Do ads like Name.com - create the space for people to want to advertise!!!

I think that many of us in the company would like AboutUs.org to be ad free - let's work toward that being real. CollaborativeEconomy and other things work toward self organization. We are a place on the web where you can self organize. Think Wikipeida is cool?!!?! We do to... AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE!!!

I didn't want to have to "scream" that at you, but I feel I must.

Think about what public information you want organize. My father asked me early on, can AboutUs get me a list of all the religious organizations in the United States contact information? I said, not yet, but soon if people would find that information useful to be organized, they can do it on our site, or let us know that they have good lists. That could be built very easily on here.

Recently he asked a similar question. Can he get a list of MediaOutlets in a certain area. not now, but yes. I invite any and all people interested in Media and its impact on humanity, please join together and let's build that list.

Talk about our idea of tending and area. Similar to HubPages a very interesting site. Transcluding addresses might be a way to do that - also provides a measure of security. Maybe transcluded address would get more of a scrutiny or an email alert to the tender of the area.

Why not create busses, Amtrak can sponsor bus stop / train stop tours of any organized content. (part of our commitment to think about public transportation. We need a wiki full of interesting advertisements. Sun is sponsored - tour bus is sponsored - domains are sponsored, etc. etc. Editing is sponsored by AboutUs. individual targeted link ads that they can turn off - who wants to sponsor a cool LinkAd for a full moon? or a draft of beer? We can sell day site ads. Featured cool ad to support this site. Frame it, play it up big and corny.

(Writing style of the WikiStream is up to a weblogs down. It is our furthest CollaborativeConversation and we place it to the weblog when we are ok with it. We Tweet a teaser and we upload a picture or graphic to explain something visually. We do pairing on the video to explain ideas, upload video, tag all of this in delicious. and we are a CollaborativeConversation over Web 2.0.)

Welcoming the inexperienced to new ideas and welcoming new ideas to us.

Date or Topic ThoughtChunk titles

26 April 2008 or CollaborativeConversation

Weblog post about AboutUs.org to AboutUs.com - what are the benefits? Why does Steven feel that is not our best step forward. Is there any way to split community built content? have an AboutUs.org community page set and a AboutUs.com domain page based set?

How I feel about the word blog. Struggle to keep it. Tell that story.

Tell Brandon's Story Everyone part of the PortlandWikiOnFire

MaxDerung - interview him about the idea. do a piece on what customers think they are getting when they get here, what are their hopes. AboutUsWikiOnFire

Change the contact us back to contact us.

Talk about seeing CameCased domain names

Movies, 88MinutesToLive.com - not that is a good domain name.

but BlahBlahBlah-movie.com shows you don't have the one you need, but it is a bludgeon. You have to bludgeon your way through if you don't have the skills or tools to get you idea off the ground.

AboutUsBotGoneBad

CreditCardScams - banks often give our number out, but not since we double buried our contact information. It was overwhelming without a plan, no we have a plan.

LostOnTheInternet stories

Introduce the AboutUsBot - find his praises.

Refernece older post on the organization of ConnectedWiki with WikiBoxes

Tell stories about why it would be good to organize your sites here.

The guy that I am talking to that owns 350 websites - 100 of them City Guides. Interview him.

Jon Udell

Listening to his interview with Ward was great. The thing that I think Jon misses is that AboutUs wants to create this wiki world of about us pages. That doesn't work so well when the information is streaming in and not able to change, or if we are able to change it, how does it stream back? Maybe because Jon thinks of us as a directory only. That is certainly possible because we have way more work to do about telling our story. I like to say that we are a company of story tellers, unable to tell our story. I look forward to Curt helping in that regard.

Learn to use the wiki

At our Friday meeting about how better to explain what we offer to help businesses / organizations and people, we were using a wiki page to chart out questions and answers and Corey, the newest one to wiki, asked if we could not change the document until we all agreed on new questions or answers - we have been letting him slide for the last couple of months, but on Friday we all said no, learn to use the wiki. Now maybe we need to better teach people the basics of wiki to help them learn the language that we are so excited by.

Learning wiki

We have a 3 part tour for folks to take. Is that enough? Can we help people want to take the tour? We need better video and what not. Do you think it could be a team of three interns working on making the help better?

Interns

We have people wanting to work with us and we need to make that happen!
