The Utility of Blogging. I Want More Collaborators! 50 Project Proposals in 50 Weeks.

Robert Paterson opines on the utility of blogging:

3. A return to work as a function of community and fellowship as opposed to serfdom. What I am experiencing is a great coalescing of interlocking communities in the 'sphere who are finding ways to work with each other. And what work! Work that is about enhancing life, bringing back the human, putting the community as the end goal. Work as it always used to be - work that enriches the soul, the place and the person. Look at Dina in India who has been a pivotal influence post Tsunami. . Look at how the marketers like Johnnie, Jennifer and Hugh are on the road to truth. I too have my circles here in Charlottetown with Jevon and with Will and Jarrod. Cyn and I are also working on a project. I look at at the learning world at Brian, Jeremy, Karina, Harold and Chris.

I have been thinking alot about my goals with blogging lately. I've stated  before that my main goal is to use it as a promotional and feedback gathering tool for my company, WhizSpark.   Blogging has been great for "getting WhizSpark noticed" by people. It has also been a good tool to get feedback.

My recent work with Gregory Narain and to an extent, with Sooz, has gotten me thinking about how blogging can also be a great way to engage people in projects.

So, I'd like to take it the next level. In addition to my 50 deals in 50 weeks blogging project, I'll also be doing 50 project proposals in 50 weeks. I'll be unleashing a lot of half backed ideas and hopefully, they'll be people reading my blog that'll be interested in getting involved or taking the lead (As Jason Calacanis points out: delegation is key.) Also, if you'd like to be proactive, read my aspirations for the year and let me know your ideas for working together on something.

Locally, we are at a point where we can make BIG projects happen... because we have the right connections and people on the ground to make that happen. Now I'd like to make that happen on a broader geographic scale.

This should be fun!

Sounds like a lot of fun. I for one will be watching and waiting for an opportunity to connect as you write as I'm always interested in another blogging project.
