via Johnnie Moore, Jack Ricchiuto on potential new models for change in social network behavior:
The possibility space for change opens up when we connect different people who can begin resonating together around shared stories, opportunities, and dreams. It’s a process of liberating people from the confines of clusters of sameness and ideological colonialism so they can move toward more diverse connections and pragmatic alignments.
Ricchiuto makes these comments in regard to a post on which he collaborated on Network Weaving, exploring the evolution of introduction in social networks:
When we make introductions, and close triangles, we are not doing it to merely create new connections. Network weavers usually have a goal in mind when connecting two new people — a project, a mentorship, a future collaboration.
Fascinating stuff.
