If you have gazed upon a magnificent rose window adorning a local cathedral or spent time enjoying a fragrant spring daisy, then you have already been touched by the beauty of a mandala.

I like to say it's not about Social "Me"dia, it's about the Social "We"b. I believe that when you actually take the approach of helping others, of giving without expecting in return, it comes back in spades. It's actually how I've built my Twitter following. By just giving, giving and giving. I don't expect anything in return. I believe: 1) Giving is more important than broadcasting. 2) It's not about converting others to follow me. It's about conversations with them. 3) It's not about moving my product or services. It's about moving people. 4) It's not about making a transaction. It's about helping people make transitions, helping them lead better lives, get better jobs, do things differently, motivate, offer hope, etc. Thanks for sharing John. .-= Jeff Hurt´s last blog ..<a href="http://jeffhurtblog.com/2009/07/04/the-rise-of-the-gift-economy-and-freeconomics/" rel="nofollow">The Rise Of The Gift Economy And Freeconomics</a> =-.

Some of the comments were very clear about BBSpot's satire edge. :: "For the people who don't bother to/can't read: "BBspot is a tech satire news and geek humor source, and meant to be funny." SATIRE being the part I'd like to point out. Denham Coote" Even at the time of my quick read, the second half was truly weird and I knew it was satire... can't imagine Stephen King participating. But the first part really did ring true, with the 4 levels of participation. And I'm pretty sure, like other commenters, that something along this line is coming soon. It's an emarketing world. The mere idea though, for me, truly does scrape off that layer of Twitter Glitter. Love this thread :-) Hi John… … you are right of course.

I just discovered you via a new follower, @starlightlife. And I am almost giddy over this thread of heart and soul! AND, I feel rather 'confirmed' in my TwitterAbility, because so many of my mutual followers are right here! Excuse if I wax Biblical for a moment... but this is all about reaping what you sow, along with other analogies mentioned here. Which for this <a href="http://www.agingboulderflowerchild.com" title="Yeah, it's getting there!">Aging Boulder Flower Child</a>, makes little movies start happening in my head... Lion King::The Circle of Life. Yellow Submarine::We ALL Live in a Y.S. Oh, and songs. The Great Mandala. Ring Around the Rosie. It's all about participating and finding people who really ARE in your circle, and would be in your circle if you meet up in 'real life.' I LOVE RT'ing. I retweet things that hit my funny bone. That are instantly appealing either emotionally or to the constant thinktank going on in my head. I find that I take a lot of time going through a new person's TW page and their Web link. I really care that there is a good fit. I have found super mentors... yo, @mayhemstudios!! Well enuf. John, so glad to meet you! Pardon now, gotta go follow you. OH. One more thing, though. I cannot help but giggle with glee that my TW page has a PAGE RANK! I see that as a surety that I am having fun :-) What an incredible conversation!

It was advice he gave me as it relates to my consulting business. To paraphrase @jeffjarvis "don't manage scarcity, manage abundance". That's what you are talking about here. How many reference books have you bought without reading the table of contents or the index? My business partner @jimcrocker has been espousing this advice since long before Twitter.
