Networks of Networks

by Chris Gilbey at 11:13AM (EST) on October 29, 2006 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Very interesting thought on Fred Wilson's blog.... about 'networks of networks'. I have thought about this quite a bit recently. But Fred sums it up nicely with an interesting example:

But a funny thing happened. I had about 450 members yesterday morning. I now have 510 members. I haven't added 60 members in a single day since the day I put the reader roll on my blog.

One of two things is happening. My post on MyBlogLog yesterday got more people to sign up (certainly a part of it) or the people joining at Techcrunch and elsewhere in the past day are also joining my community.

If the latter is a significant part of why this happened, then it points to the fact that networks of networks are a powerful community building tool.

This is a significant thought.... perhaps it is a meme in and of itself?

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
