I feel like starry-eyed like the purveyer of a new revolution. It’s Web 2.0, man! It’s open source culture! Dig it! I’m writing notes everywhere, trying to figure out my thoughts. I’m reading articles about the rise of Barak Obama and Web 2.0 sensibilities. I’m finding the cool kids and plotting my strategy to be one of them. I feel like I’m in swaddling clothes still though, so much to learn. But I’m hacking away with gusto. The future is here, and I want to be part of it.

Meanwhile, I want to make wordlush better. We’re getting a lot of new users signing up from stumble upon traffic. This is my first community project and I’m excited to learn. How can I give it what it needs to grow, to thrive?  How can I help people feel at ease to jump in and write? What would help? Perhaps more writing prompts and ideas. More tools to facilitate interaction? Actually, I even need to understand what to expect–what is a good ratio of people-who-sign-up to people-who-participate?

Hmm, “puerile” so doesn’t mean what I thought it meant. I think I was confusing it with “putrid”.
