Are You Missing Something?

Critical Questions

Not long ago Joe Pritchard has placed a fair comment on Suhit Anantula weblog page at Ecademy
Am I missing something?

"Whilst very noble, the activities supported here look like the sort of site that socially aware networkers have been doing for the last decade in one form or another - paper, book, online, whatever.

It's very interesting, and I see the 'technical support' angle as being useful, but surely CAs are just another name for authors with things to say?"

Joe

Here is my reply to Joe:

"Joe, thank you for good critical comment. This is the type of questions I need to make sure that my offer is properly understood as I am refining the terms and wording through which I convey it.

Indeed the Communication Agents Initiative is NOT looking for authors "with things to say"."



"I am looking for uniquely skilled communicators that have something strong to say and something greater to do in one or more of the Areas for Change that compose our first reference Manifesto. I am looking for what many would call a present-day online social activist.

Joe, I have looked far and wide on the Internet and I have not been to find but a handful of individuals doing what I am describing. If you know anyone of those that are not already listed on our blogrolls, then we may like very much you to introduce a few more to us.

I am not looking for writers with something to say, I am looking for talented communicators who want to take on the opportunity given by today's rapid change, communication tools and fertile world social awareness, to initiate effective campaigns, actions and design of solution frameworks that allow non governmental forces to create alternative and parallel infrastructures to deal and solve major human issues.

All the best,"
