Conversation Community: Make Things Happen

Thanks for chiming in +Steven Putter  - we're working on one of the ideas that came out of the HoA:

21C Roadmap
https://plus.google.com/u/0/101010252943098026073/posts/SHSC2ST1gvM

The process, how to cocreate a roadmap, is at least as important as the outcome, the roadmap itself.

This is the way to brainstorm and allow information of what works on the ground to flow. Lots of teething problems and the only way to sort them is to use it. sorry i missed it  +John Kellden

+John Kellden So very interesting these thoughts that the value is not dependent on the amount of posts or people in our circles. Also the importance of writing something about yourself in profile. Actually, if somebody circles me and I don't find information about them on their profile I don't circle them back..

One can't +Herb Isenberg! That's the fascinating thing about communication... It is our own creation and thus subjective.

Now, there are scholars who believe we can figure out structures and rules that the majority of people follow in given situations, and there are others who believe this is an inaccurate and simplified representation of the complex and ever evolving activity of communication... So it's really up to you to decide what meaning really means lol

Your greenhouse a quonset shape? That would be kinda cool to put up a rainbow on the end, +joe breskin.

Today was a big day over here and I left the HOA a little early early to go be an "explainer" as part of our annual inspection for re-certification as USDA Organic growers. The inspector was sort of mind-blown by taste of ripe tomatoes and the feel of controlled humidity in the heat pump heated greenhouse. I heard later that we had passed the inspection with "rainbow" colors.

Do-u-ble the me-an-in-g of words.

Herb Isenberg

28.05.2014, 03:36:08
When you use the concept of meaning are you referring to semantics ? If so, this will require a paradigm shift, as moving from the talk or sounds people make to inferring "meaning" is a very subjective enterprise and subject to interpretation. What is typically labeled as "meaning" may change over the course of conversation, and to infer that what a speaker is saying has meaning take a big leap of faith, this is only my opinion, yet, think about it, "How can one know for certain what an other meaning is over the course of a conversational interaction ?"

Alexandra Riecke-Gonzales

28.05.2014, 03:07:08
I missed an interesting conversation here! What caught my interest most was this discussion about meaning.

The meaning of a Plus one and the meaning of an idea with the self versus with others. This is intriguing because, as you kind of point out +John Kellden, we are sharing these ideas and plussing posts in a virtual space. The person behind the screen for the most part, and their intentions, are unknown to us. And yet we find meaning in the actions that these unknown individuals take.

I will pretty much always return to framing but in this case it's interesting to consider the frame being taken: We frame the frame of others. We attempt to understand who the person behind the screen is so that we can discover the meaning of their actions... But the understanding of that individual is framed by us.

Loopy stuff :)

I was hoping to make it; will watch the video and provide input very soon. Appreciate all you are doing for the community !

Big thanks to all who participated, all who listened, to all great ideas, perspectives and sheer generosity, with your time, your attention. I'll read this through carefully and curate this thread into a Conversation Community post, where everyone is welcome to build further.

Sorry, (for me), to miss the convo' today, John. Starting to watch it back now. Will complete tomorrow. Engaging and measured as always - am interpreting you so far not so much issuing a clarion call to listen out for the 'human act', but offering a validation that we do already create this reality between the words and images in acting as media (in a much deeper identifying sense than is normally meant by glibnesses liue 'we the media'...and to pay attention to that mediation process in the fractions of a second that we have before pressing........."Share". Feeling-provoking...thankyou.

+Linda Rogers - I'd rather have a frequently-engaged smaller number of people than a large number of followers who do little to nothing.  It's very much like the idea of having a large email list of regular people versus a highly-curated list of buyers.

In some circles having 7M pageviews would be seen as an indicator of being LESS busy.  I keep getting from people "I'm too busy for social media.  You must have more time than me if you have time for this stuff." 

Christopher Vogelmann

27.05.2014, 19:33:41
I'd love to do an interview with you +John Kellden.  I too have recently done an interview with Martin and I am interviewing David Amerland tomorrow on my new show, Epic Influencers. :)

Psychologically, I recall reading somewhere, we can't manage more than 50 meaningful relationships.  Tom Peters used to say the optimal size of a business unit was 150.  900 in this group, 29000 in John's circles.  How do we move through the boundaries of the walls of optimally sized cells as do molecules in osmosis?

Some folk have made lots of money from their cats and dogs post by virtue of being approached to have their YouTube video fronted by a 10 second advert.  Social networks quickly get monetised.  Let's not forget the gestation of Facebook - blokes at Harvard wanting to rank sexiness of female students, which I find distasteful and keeps me away from FB

I have a question regards the intention of this hangout; is this to discuss or form a group regarding approaches for the investigation and analysis of human conversation and conversational behavior ? If not would someone please explain the intention and purpose of this group.

Personally, I am very interested in Conversational Analysis in order to develop a method of analysis that is independent of language, culture and gender. This is what I have been doing for quite some time now;  And if the group is interested I would suggest taking a look at the writings of Havey Sacks, one of the originators of the field of Conversational Analysis. For the group's convenience here are a couple of links that may be of interest - see below, and Please let me know if other's share a common interest:

As an additional service to all those who have answered Yes, or Maybe -  after the Event, I will ping as many of you as a G+ post permits, in the Conversation Community, where I will put links to the HoA and to related conversations.

To all those who've answered No, I appreciate you taking the time to give feedback. All feedback is valuable. To all of you who will not be able to give feedback, no worries whatsoever, another time, another serendipity.
