clipper's remarks: "For companies interested in co-creation like this, the most important step is participation. Speak with communities as a genuine, authentic person interested in learning and collaboration. Earn trust by giving more than you receive. Prototype alongside your customers, and share your failures as frequently as your successes. Be remarkable."

I was recently contacted for a brief interview on collaboration and co-creation by Insight Magazine, and my friend Ryan Rasmussen and I were quoted in the magazine. You can see it online here, or find it on newsstands.

The magazine article was inspired by discussions that Ryan had with the D*I*Y*Planner community. When I got to meet Ryan face-to-face at SOBCon in Chicago this past May, I asked him about those discussions and how they led to a new product being offered by the company that he worked for. Then he showed me the prototype of the “Circa PDA” (or cPDA) that he developed with the productivity/planner community:

For companies interested in co-creation like this, the most important step is participation. Speak with communities as a genuine, authentic person interested in learning and collaboration. Earn trust by giving more than you receive. Prototype alongside your customers, and share your failures as frequently as your successes. Create a remarkable experience.

Captain Levenger - all good things

Submitted by Rasmussen on Thu, 2008-04-03 18:21.

After over a year of getting to know many of you here at D*I*Y Planner, I owe it to everyone to announce personally that "Captain Levenger" is hanging up his cape.

I have learned more from this community than pr0dnographic hacking, cracking, and creativity; there is a real sense of caring and mutual respect between contributors that makes this site a home.

I am grateful to have been welcomed here as an ambassador from Levenger, and for all of the support and encouragement offered by many of you that I will continue to consider friends. ;)

Thank you,
Ryan Rasmussen

a visualization of pervasive narrative development in a social web of influencers and connectors

clipper's remarks: Each node is a thread. Each connection is a link. The ability to influence the silent audience [lurkers and long-term future of organic search conversion] becomes easier to understand when the interface is modified to display the "social web." This is the value of converting brand 'talkers'/evangelists into better teachers through collaborative ideation and seeding indigenous collaborative web technologies for mass distribution of consumer generated marketing.

Each node is a thread. Each connection is a link. The scope of influence upon the silent audience [lurkers and long-term future of organic search conversion] becomes easier to understand when the interface is modified to display the "social web." This is the value of converting brand 'talkers'/evangelists into better teachers through collaborative ideation and seeding indigenous collaborative web technologies for mass distribution of consumer generated marketing.

Circa Notebook Review: The San Diego Transcript

clipper's remarks: Phil Baker of the San Diego Transcript reviews Levenger's Circa Notebook as a low-tech counterpart to a high-tech environment. The mass of prosumer DIY forms and templates online has transformed the disc-bound notebook line into an "open system."

Innovating the basics: A new kind of notebook (San Diego Transript column)

While today's spiral notebooks and three-ring binders are much the same as they were 40 years ago, Levenger, a Florida-based company, has created a much improved design, called Circa. It fits right into our high-technology environment, providing a solution that lets us intermingle handwritten notes, which a vast majority of us still use, with computer-generated output.
