I'll have to check if the numbers have started to rise again, or whether Christmas really is blocking out frivolous things like posting... But the more that make a paper plane the better – it would be great to get a real feel for what people think is important (or not) in the future. And it is fascinating to open up a plane and see what others have said. And thanks very much for talking about it Doug.

I speak of writing for a purpose, sense of audience and the powerful use of web 2.0 and the sense of being untehered from geography. People listen carefully and sincerely and can see the point ... and then go away and 'get on' with what they were doing/teaching ... perhaps to afraid to take the risk of engaging with something so totally open.
