Sparked at Supernova: Tummeling
A new show, sparked by Supernova: Heather Gold, Deb Schultz and Kevin Marks talk “tummeling:” the art of energetically bringing things together: tech, culture, business and people. Watch and join in the pilot on http://twit.tv tonight, Tues Sept 22nd, at 7pm PST/10pm EST
Kevin is was at the microphone at the Supernova conference a year or two ago addressing Clay Shirky who had presented his now classic book Here Comes Everybody. Kevin was insistent that there was often more to people randomly connecting and just showing up at places together. There must be people and methods which who played a serious role in making this thing happen. How do you deliberately create what is called community or a meaningful connection? Deb Schultz and I were there and so happy to meet a fellow traveler. We’d spent a lot time connecting businesses and people. We knew a lot in our own ways about how to deliberately create ways and spaces for meaningful connection. We all embraced the word “tummeling.” Kevin is a technologist, Deb creates business connections and I perform and create useful conversations. We are all sure that business and technology were created by and for people.

Most definitely the “Network Age,” in action, IMHO.
