Riding the Social Networking Wave with Zaadz

I was resistant to blogging initially, it felt abit forced and contrived and I wasn’t sure what to talk about, now, I am hooked, I am going “Blogwild” (a great book on blogging by Andy Wibbels btw)!

I noticed that I felt the same way about social networking when I first joined zaadz www.zaadz.com, although the site’s mission to “change the world” really attracted me, as did the values of “connect, grow, inspire, empower”.  Everything this site/community is about is in alignment with my own personal and business mission and values.

All that being said, it has taken me about a year to get a really comfortable feeling being part of this community.

Previously, our daughters had been involved with an incredibly innovative and progressive on-line learning community www.wondertree.org , so I was familiar with how discussion boards work, making friends, how each on-line community has it’s own culture and set of both written and unwritten social “rules”.  It is so interesting to me to observe in both myself and others how relationships are formed and nourished and how much of a personal connection I feel with people whom I have never met in person, nor even shared a conversation with.

Zaadz is also about “conscious capitalism” and I can’t wait to see some of the next techno innovations that are brought to the site for entrepreneurs. 

Having been through the “workaholic” phase of my life, I am really aware that I could become addicted to hanging out in zaadz and don’t want to lose touch with the real live people in my life, like my husband, wonderful daughters, other family and friends.  So, it is time to sign off my computer and attend to “real life”, including the laundry.

namaste,
