The Seattle Free School is a really interesting case study for a number of reasons: Social media is integral to the success of the program because it is online but it is also the mechanism for growth and community building. For a few reasons: the community has a shared context or starting place, there’s less to explain upfront.

It’s likely your faith-based organization already has a venue or gathering place, whether it’s a church, synagogue, or mosque. At first glance, this is extremely convenient and provides a go-to place to host your peer-to-peer event if you have an in-person component. If your event is being livestreamed, where will filming take place?

This photo was snapped by Doria on WestCoast Michael's camera, and uploaded by someone to the NTEN site as "Michael Gilbert East meets Michael Gilbert West". Smiley lot, aren't we?

Is your MySpace page a vehicle to promote yourself to the world, or a personal place to communicate with friends? Creating music can be both a private and public experience, and they address both.
