NetworkWeavers:Intro
| |||||
| |
The Network Weavers Network is a new (spring of 2007) initiative for network weavers to connect, make referrals, learn from one another, work together in a variety of ways, and create resources together.
Network Weavers are people who take responsibility for creating healthy networks (also sometimes called smart networks or intentional networks). See the blog post on Characteristics of Natural Network Weavers. For more info on Network Weaving, please see http://www.networkweaving.com/blog. You may also want to read David Braden's article on why network weaving matters. The Network Weavers Network is open to all. Therefore, responsibility for interactions is totally up to the participants.
The Network Weavers Network is affiliated with the Emerging Futures Network [1], and grew out of a set of discussions on the Omidyar Network [2]. David Braden and Jean Russell have developed a wonderful set of "slides" that illustrate the relationships between the Network Weavers Network, the Emerging Futures Network, and other resources. The "slide show" starts at Connection_Graphics.
We are hoping to eventually do organizing all the way to the neighborhood level. For now, if you're interested in neighborhood organizing, please visit the Neighbor Networking Blog [3].
