Start thinking!

Social Media

I'm getting more and more into social media marketing blogging and the such. I think we really need to push to get our blog up there and start making a presence online. First I must give Andy credit who had this vision first of starting a blog but really is an amazing way to get known and begin growing buzz.

Shelf Life ~ Going With the Grain Comp.

So Cholls, Bcole, Schriebs, and I met at HQ today to do some brainstorming and day drinking and here's what we came up with for the Going with the Grain competition: Say hello to the Shelf Life!

New World Maps

the way to begin looking at the world...climate zones (hot & humid), not government/religious/economic. miami upper dot towards left needs more collaboration with similar regions in south america, africa and asia pacific to solve sustainability issues.

Dancing Bamboo

Bamboo vase made of a re-used juice jug, a left-over skewer, rocks from the backyard and some string.

Big Paul's Spicy Spice

Figured we could start a thread on the business at hand....a couple ideas i was brewing was to have the packaging serve as a vessel which already has the address and return postage on it so when its empty they just put it in the mail and for a fee (online banking) paul's dad fills it up and mails it back. it would be sweet if it could be the jar itself or at a max 2 pieces, an extra layer or package to mail it back in. should try just one though. thats not only green but fucking good customer service. can't get it on saturdays though b/c the postal service is going under though...

Furniture

Alright, I need a TV stand for my room. About 3 ft high, any ideas for recycled or salvaged pieces I can use to make it???

GO2 Structure

After the Annual December RoundHotTub Discussion if we take the GO2 main page in the direction more of a blog and content page and not a true 'company' looking for business for the beginning. (allow the business to arrive organically from people showing interest in our postings) I would like to talk about the structure of GO2. I envision all of us as the Board of Directors making up the formal business side. Then imagine we are all also 'fellows' (to the content/blog), we can then invite other people who we might think have great insight to be 'contributers' to the blog. If they are worthy of the status they will become 'fellows' as well. (Reference the Center for American Progress) Eventually we can have staff as well (ie Internet Programmer) and when we turn into a full grown business we can have divisions for each business sector (ie GO2 Real Estate...etc.) I'm going to work on some structural diagrams this week...

Also if we start the GO2 Foundation I think it will be easy, all of us on the board.
