This website is demonstration of this concept. As you see on the right hand side, there are a number of links. These links are automatically fed from blogging tools that this web site feeds from. As these blogs are updated, so are the links on this front page.
The blogs that this site links to are secure systems. Without acceptance to the group that is collaborating on a project, the page appears empty. These tools also allow for filesharing and podcasting abilities.
This web site project is to make this process evident. We are teaching people how to create secure communities that act as development centers unto themselves as a means of creating a public message in relationship to the group needs.
The process that we teach is simple to implement and integrate into any web site as well.
Beyond the technology, this process creates stronger groups. Anytime that a leader can create a system that allows for open communication within a secure set of people, the group will benefit. These tools allow a group to gain a historical perspective of themselves and their progress.
Google seaches for information based on Keywords. At every level within this training, we provide the ability to "tag" items. This logical grouping signals important key words about the information.
We teach people how to use a tool that allows a person to organize their bookmarks on a free website tool. This tool allows the person to organize all of their bookmarks and then feed these bookmarks into the group site. This is accomplished by the use of tagging systems. This is the exact opposite of Google. Instead of putting tags in and getting results out, this allows a person to put results into tags.
We are used to directory based organizational systems. Every object in our filing cabinet can only be in one file. In a database, one object can have many tags. This is a powerful tool that is under-utilized by most people on the web today. This tool alone is of great benefit to most people.
The tag itself becomes a source of information. We can teach a person to setup a tool that feeds their organized information automatically into a group review process.
People are often finding things that they regard as important to share with others. Our process teaches people how to share these pieces of information while keeping the information within the context of the group.
