Quote from Mark Twain -

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people
always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too,
can become great. --Mark Twain

Wisdom of Crowds

I heard this the other day in relation to BLOGS. It is a reference to James Surowiecki's book, The Wisdom of Crowds. His publisher (Random House) wrote: " In this endlessly fascinating book, New Yorker columnist James Surowiecki explores a deceptively simple idea that has profound implications: large groups of people are smarter than an elite few, no matter how brilliant-better at solving problems, fostering innovation, coming to wise decisions, even predicting the future."

The Choices and Voices group might not be a large group, ultimately, but certainly - working together - collaborating - we can achieve
similar ends. The NOLS library system owns 2 copies of this book. -tp.

sydneyanglicans.net - Urban Tribes (Are Friends the New Family?)

sydneyanglicans.net - Urban Tribes (Are Friends the New Family?): "In his intriguing new book Urban Tribes, Californian journalist Ethan Watters argues that, in fact, young adults are forming their own significant communities in place of traditional family units; and finding in these groups some of the benefits that family life offers. Watters claims he discovered the mass phenomena of the Urban Tribe almost accidentally: having written a brief magazine piece on the idea, he was invited on TV to discuss it. In the following weeks his email inbox was inundated by twenty-somethings from all over the US who felt that he had articulated something very real to their lives. They had found community in all sorts of areas: among college friends, in book clubs, at the gym, or even in groups that just kinda evolved from friends and friends-of-friends. People performed different roles within the tribes in order to enable organization and decision-making, nurturing and entertainment. Some group members were valued even though they contributed very little to the group at all."
