Recursive Function

I was originally going to write a review of the MBO conference that Ade and I attended on Friday. I was going to discuss some of the great speakers like Douglas Karr, Pat Coyle, and Pat East but a funny thing happened Friday night when I got home. I had that post conference buzz, the kind where you are flush with knowledge and inspiration, and I quickly logged into Facebook to post a comment on the event page. I wrote about wanting more discussion on the topics that were discussed and figured that we would get a few posts and that would be it. But no, because of one post and a few others who agreed the event organizer created a second unconference for an MBO “After Hours” to take place on Dec 19th.

Now that is the power of Facebook and other communities, the ability to get quick feedback, fast turnaround and buy-in for an event, all in under 24 hours. The true value in how we interact with these social networks is still, and will probably, be evolving for some time, but I like my chances, if they continue to keep me connected with smart people who I can learn and interact with in meaningful ways.

So, if you are in the area and want to check out the “After Hours” event, check out the group page and keep in contact.
