I also see clearly that getting conversations going on more than one site at once is key. I actually think that's a function of the web that we need to be able to better create and manage as social entrepreneurs on a regular basis. One of the things I will be doing here is developing a model "profile" type page that uses existing web2.0 tools to help us do that. Thanks for embracing the idea at your SocialEdge event as well. Wilfried, lovely to see you here, my dear friend. Rest assured that a lot of my answer to "why" on most of the things I do comes directly or indirectly from my experience with changemakers like you and the challenges to engaging online that I know you face.

For a long time i have been wondering what all the activities of LIA, internet4Change etc where about. Having poor internet connection makes it often difficult to keep up with all the information flow. To be honest, your founders statement give me a complete new insight. it seems to me that your shift to Brussels has given you new and refreshing environment. I am still going on with Amasiko, wondering how to bring social change into this so terribly conservative environment and people main focus is on getting "money" only. Lets hope Amasiko can become a small piece in the Better World Building puzzle here in Uganda. Many greetings Wilfried Hi Christina,

I'm delighted, of course, that you visited the event and commented there, and also that you've posted here -- but perhaps the best part of all was your final phrase: "Let's discuss both here and there." I've been giving a lot of thought to what can bring a conversational site through the stages from isolated posts > frequent responses > friendly network of conversations > active community with collaborations afoot, and it seems to me that getting conversations going at more than one site at once is one key stage. At SocialEdge, we've had a joint conversation with the folks at Public Innovators, and now you've opened up a second possibility here -- I'm extremely grateful. I'm not sure yet what you are planning here, but I hope you'll keep us informed on both sites! Thanks again, Charles Hi Christina:
