Purpose I something that I have been thinking about a lot lately and it is still something I am not crystal clear on just yet.  I do or have done a lot of hobbies, jobs and I always put as much as I can into everything I do.

Lately however I am finding that I am spending more time in and around social networking and online communities both as something I naturally do when I am online (I participate and contribute to several forums, blogs and networking sites) and also something that I have consulted and helped others on getting their head around it.  A couple of examples being:

1) Meeting Fraser Hurrell from BrightMind Labs at X:Media:Lab, helping  and consulting him on how to align his online business model for his learning game and online community through Facebook Pages.

2) A student who had been in my summer paper earlier this year after yesterdays lecture sort me out to talk about online business and his ideas.  I had a good discussion with him about online community, different business model for existing as a business online.  Hopefully I can help him out with his ideas and how to grow his tribe around his ideas.

There have been countless other times where I have helped or given away advice to friends and people I have met around the topics of computing, communication, social networking, communities, online business the list goes on…

So something is making me seriously look at possibley having a purpose based around offering advice in helping businesses exist online within the new ideas around online community and how people can take advantage of all the great tools out there to communicate more openly, and honestly -  up, down and across their social graph.
