The Social NetROAR

[Placid Dingo]

I pulled myself out of Facebook because I was over getting distracted. Led to a concept;

People take out the time they spend on Social Networking (or on TV etc) and redirect it for one month towards a creative goal; writing/music/programming/visual art/clothing design etc.

For the month, a forum is up, encouraging people to share advice and experience.

Or just two posts; March one; I'm in. March 31; This is what I've spat out.

I've registered www.socialnetroar.com. It's still showing the old page so I think it's waiting for DNS to go through or  . I'll set up a temp Wordpress page when it's done, and then start work on a hidden forum that should open on Feb 1, then mutate (or unlock) in March.

Advice? Assistance? Ideas? Questions? I'd LOVE you guys to shoot me some cool energy on this.

SO FAR

I was Social Networking the other day and I realized that I wasn't. Social. Or Networking. What I was, was occupied.



I ejected myself from Facebook, disabling my account for the short term, to try and maximize my productivity, to focus on being engaged in a constructive, creative task.



I realized how much time – dead time – we spend simply 'occupied'. What I had been able to do was move from occupation to activation by eliminating the source of dead time. Maybe for you it's not obsessively checking social networks; maybe it's TV or texting or reorganising your music collection.



I want to propose something; that we collectively take the month of March to replace our dead time with living, vibrant, productive time, and for one month only, ramp our collective creative juices up to 11 and help each other produce creative brilliance.

Love it!!

BTW you need to disable/hide most of the shit in the righthand column of your wordpress blog. It looks better without the default crud. Hell just disable the entire sidebar, from what it looks like.
