2020 Update: Worldwide Story Work is now a Facebook group.
Just got an e-mail over the weekend from Shawn Callahan of Anecdote.com reminding me of the social networking group on Ning, Worldwide Story Work, described as “a community of story practitioners focussed on the application of story-based techniques in organisational settings.”
I joined the group just over 6 months ago when it had just 50 members; I’m delighted to see it now has 247 members (you’ll see from the badge above that this number has continued to grow).
My neglect of Worldwide Story Work comes from my general problem with push vs. pull technology. I respond much better to the “push,” such as e-mails like Shawn’s that remind me to do something, than to the “pull” of Worldwide Story Work itself. So, good for Shawn for using the push to remind me to visit Worldwide Story Work and to initiate the pull of getting e-mail notifications when someone begins a new discussion on the site. I also tinkered with my profile and posted a blog entry about my upcoming Q&A project.
