Here here to sharing. Not only do I love linking back to the past, but I also love the ability to build on ideas over time. This can come in the form of elaboration or clarification.

Ning took communities of conversations away. The web2.0 era has faded away with creative tools lacking effective models to generate profit and maintain their usefulness.
