Day 16 -----Let Facebook Begin ;-)

Live Chat started my day after going outside into the cool morning air to water my plants. I took in the beauty of the sun as it filtered through the misty air. It was positively beautiful.

Today I visited a soon-to-be members MySpace site, and her Corkin.com listings. I also followed up with her today. She intends to get started on August 1.

I'd not heard of Corkin.com, so I found myself listening to a video after clicking on a fella's pix and came to find out he's the co-creator of the site -- a beyond Craigslist experience. Paul Kats is his name and he was in on the ground floor creation of MySpace and graduated from UC Berkley. They wanted to create a better product, use word of mouth to grow its member base, have forums for feedback on their systems, and for networking. They wanted happy users, the best features, the best tools and the best products. He stated, much as we all say and I paraphrase:

You Must Believe In Your Idea and LIVE It.
You must listen to people's suggestions.
All of the above must gel ---best products, best tools, best features and happy users.

Corkin.com's name came from the old cork boards where people used to post their items for sale.

Today I was blessed to visit with former Boot Camper Tom. We had a brief but wonderful catch-up. I also got to call a stack of East Coast contacts which felt great.

One person I spoke with was really interested in the certificates for the Global Initiative and so I got him the info and hope he buys himself and his children certificates ;-).

Thank you, Ginny, for posting the receipts for the Solar Oven Project ;-).

On the Miracle Team Coaching Call tonight, Jacki challenged me to put a time frame on when I will visit my first business (es) in town. By Friday night blog posting, I will DO IT ;-).

All is well, and tonight I got swept away with my other goal from last Boot Camp--- and because of the prodding of one of my high school friends who I really, really want to be on my Together We Can Change The World Team. So, I admit, I got sucked into the process of signing up while on our Miracle Team Call ---

And, then . . .

It is now hours since then and I STILL haven't connected with all my *friends*. I can say, however, this is one of the fastest ways to get connected I have ever seen ;-).

And, so, this is online social networking connection #2 for the week.

And now, before the deadline, I'd better get my report to Susan.

Big Z is well and thriving in his camp this week, in spite of mosquito hunger and scrapes and bruises ---

Good Night All ;-).
