most social networks are the equivalent of opening your door and shouting at your neighbors (narcissistic)
private note-taking tools are the equivalent of shutting your door (lonely)
we need more spaces on the Internet that feel like quietly leaving the door open and inviting opportunities for serendipity
Some ways that spring to mind:
- start a blog (with comments that you moderate and nuture)
- leave you ideas seeded around the internet
- give advice freely
- have as much open content as you can for search engines to find you
- don’t be desperate for attention, let it naturally find you
