About me
I started an online social media experiment a year ago with R&D in mind. However, I quickly discovered that a responsive online presence was a far more valuable tool as a new method for learning from customers.

Encouraging creativity, ideation and collaborative brainstorming doesn't really fit into traditional PR, marketing, R&D, or customer service roles. It's an exploration of methods for innovating new business models and playing with the concept of co-creation. I've been thinking of it as open-sourcing innovation.

I haven't come up with a good title yet for what I do. I tend to just tell people, "I work in customer service."

 "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."

Long Now: Avatar Afterlife
Ryan Rasmussen
by Ryan Rasmussen  10-17-2007   
 Incredibly inspiring forecast of the potential to commune with digital ghosts. - persistent existence less consciousness Jones - "Creating a copy of online behavior and programming an avatar to respond to stimuli in the way the user has been during their digital life is not suggesting consciousness, merely sophisticated replication. This scenario has some intriguing consequences. Amongst them are the possibilities an individual could leave money to their avatar rather than their children in order to support their avatar afterlife, or that future generations would have access to a representation of their ancestors – but would having access to the temporal wisdom of our forebears be of any use? A digital representation of life could continue unhindered in a virtual environment, after real-life has ended."

a visualization of pervasive narrative development in a social web of influencers and connectors
Ryan Rasmussen
by Ryan Rasmussen  10-17-2007   
 Each node is a thread. Each connection is a link. The ability to influence the silent audience 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.

 Collaborative Ideation is a tumblelog I use to synthesize voice and perspective for the various social networks within which I experiment. I started an online social media experiment a year ago with R&D in mind.
