This is easy to understand and visually pleasing. After five minutes most of the questions I had about digital sharing had been covered. Thanks to +David Hopkins for sharing this on his blog and thanks to +James Clay for bringing it to David's attention.

Successful Social
Twitter Success = sharing, caring, listening, retweeting, humor & being yourself! ~ +Mahei Foliaki on Twitter @Iconic88
I liked that tweet, so decided to share it, because I care that others may like it too. I'll be listening for your replies ready to add my comments and hoping you share with your friends so more people can benefit from the original tweet; this is me being me, this is my childish humor.

Cooperation is the architect of creativity…
"…throughout evolution, from cells to multi-cellular creatures to anthills to villages to cities. Without #cooperation there can be neither #construction nor #complexity in #evolution." ~ Martin Nowak with Roger Highfield.
"We do not have to be inspired by visionaries or great leaders, in these transformational times, we need to inspire ourselves and the ones around us by simply walking-the-talk and being true to the values of the organisations and communities we serve. The #culture of The Firm of The Future encourages inspiration through the #sharing of inspirational stories and case studies from within and outside the organisation – the more we look for examples of #inspiration within our own business ecosystems, the more we find, and in turn the more we inspire ourselves to be the #change we want to see." ~ Giles Hutchins

Social Media and the New Culture of Sharing by @MichaelHyatt
I enjoyed this post, and I agree, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
What has happened over the last three years is that we now have a culture of sharing that didn’t exist three years ago … Now we think and act very differently because of these technologies. The societal change that has happened is that we share more.”
The implication of this cultural shift is that the more generous you are, the more you will succeed online. In other words, the more you share:
- the more followers you will attract
- the more people you will influence
- and the more conversations you will lead
Here are four quick ways you can share more meaningfully with others in your social media channels:
Share recommendations.
Share your expertise.
Share your contacts.
Share your empathy.Read more at michaelhyatt.com

A Brief History of the Power of Pull (HT @jclarey)
Leading on from my earlier post today about serendipity (http://bit.ly/cDbeln) – I was guided to this post by Janet Clarey. I’m pretty sure that all of this is a real-time example of serendipity in motion. An earlier comment from Eric about his belief that serendipitous collaboration was at the heart of Amplify’s development confirms that social computing and the creation of communities of practice is indeed the most effective way for creativity and innovation to flourish in the 21st century.
A Brief History of the Power of Pull
a foundational insight: that digital technology was setting in motion a shift in market power from the makers of goods and services to the people that buy them, and to talented employees from the institutions that employ them
Pull allows each of us to find and access people and resources when we need them, while attracting to us the people and resources that are relevant and valuable, even if we were not even aware before that they existed. Finally, in a world of mounting pressure and unforeseen opportunities, pull gives us the ability to draw from within ourselves the insight and performance required to more effectively achieve our potential.
The power of pull puts each of us, individually and together, in a position to collaborate in a complete re-imagination of our biggest private-and public-sector institutions, one that may eventually remake society as a whole.
the only sustainable edge in the future will come from accelerated capability building — creating the conditions to enable people to learn faster by working together.
So how to structure these learning environments?
communities of practice to drive learning and performance improvement.
deep personal relationships were a key to driving capability building. In addition to those essential relationships, it’s key that members of this community represent diverse backgrounds–critical for the creative tension that often arises from confronting different points of view. We’ve found through our years of research and writing that this mix greatly increases the potential for innovation.Read more at blogs.hbr.org

Google Reader for Mobile – Missing Share with Note #google #reader #rss
As Amplify are gearing up to launch their mobile version I thought it appropriate to tidy up my applications in preparation. While setting up the new Opera 5 beta browser I was once again reminded of a niggling issue with Google Reader for mobile.
The MOST important missing feature is Share with Note. The ability to add your take is very important Google (should anyone from Google read this 
Just posting and reposting posts to the net adds no real value, actually it’s hurting the net. People with similar interests are highly likely to stumble across a shared article anyway, especially as we’re all using similar networks ie,
I’m actually guessing it’s not that easy or it would already be there, anyway, fingers crossed that Google can sort this one out. If your have a clever solution to this problem would love to hear it.
