NEO2.0

June 17, 2007 in Akron, local, ohio, social networks by JDA

I had an informal meeting last week with my good friend Jeff, who has an e-commerce website. He reads this blog and during the meeting we talked about one of the posts - this one in which I ramble on about my possible future. Anyway, while we were talking about it I mentioned Brewed Fresh Daily, Knotice, Sage Rock, and probably some other bloggers / people / companies that he hadn’t heard of that are based in Northeast Ohio. I thought about doing a post about these bloggers / people / companies, but then I thought it’s probably better as a stand alone, not a post that will disappear from the homepage in a week or so. So… I’d like to introduce NEO2.0.

NEO2.0 is a wiki to help promote all of the great things happening in Northeast Ohio. I feel that the people that are working hard to push our community forward don’t get enough recognition - especially in the early stages of their projects - I’m hoping this wiki can help a little in that regard. (The password is ohio.)

For now I’m just using a free hosted wiki (from pbwiki which I highly recommend) - but if it gains a little traction I’ll consider hosting it or doing something other than a wiki. Ideally, I’d create a social network for the type of people interested in this site that allows the people that I’m trying to promote to connect, exchange ideas, and maybe plan some interesting events. We’ll see - that’s a long way from where this is right now.

Try it out and please add as much stuff as you’d like. Remember the password is ohio.

Hi Josh - as George of BFD will tell you, I’m usually game to try most things, but I often have a lot of fear! However…I did go to the NEO2.0 wiki and click on “edit this” - but then it asked me for a password. Do I have one, or is there one somewhere and I don’t know it? What do I do after clicking edit this - or should I be doing something first!? You can email me or leave a comment here - up to you.

And thank you, and good luck!! And thanks for putting me on the wiki!

Oh - and that never practicing law after law school thing? I totally know how that goes!!

Great idea.

Jeremy Smith, who was involved with the development of http://wiki.case.edu/ talked about doing this awhile back, but we never got the momentum going.

We did have some content ideas percolating, so I’ll try to post something soon.

p.s. to Jill, the password is Ohio. I didn’t add anything yet, but I was able to login using that.
