Hi Jim Murray, I agree too with you & for many years I have taken many connections off line from LI because of limits & restrictions. I enjoy helping folks & am here to help beBee succeed & they will be a great continuing success. If you read " Connecting The Dots" that I wrote it was posted on The Creative Coast which is another non profit where I help small business startups, all at no cost to really help connect people & share experiences. If I can help you in any way call or email me 24 x 7 @ 1.404.750.3200, keep up the good work here my friend!! regards, Bill Stankiewicz, www.savannahsupplychain.com Reply

That's exactly the thing Jim Murray. Already scheduled on Twitter!! Reply

Thanks Milos Djukic...very thoughtful as usual. I just wanted to make sure that everybody understand what being an Ambassador actually means. It actually hasn't really altered anything I do here. I do it for the common good. Reply

Oink! 🐷. That'' Pig Latin for I gitcha Jim Murray! You've got a nice "in your eyeballs" style of writing that my alter ego Bo " bad boy" Buzzbee can relate to. Keep up the good writting Jim, and thanks for all the pro bono work you put in. It doesn't go unnoticed in my little hovel of a hive. 🐝 Reply

Thanks Jim Murray! As usual, I am just an ugly fractal troll. The best marketing in social structures, including social networks is a byproduct of a trust and the visions that are common for a large group of thoughtful, committed people (with or without the title) who can effortlessly change the world for the better. Their world and our world. This is a long-term process and the ultimate task for all beBee users. People tend to beleive that an enthusiastic support of someone or something that is worthy means to be a cheerleader. But it is still a sales relationship. I would rather call it this time a social responsible behaviour. George C. Homans, American sociologist and founder of behavioral sociology pointed out that social structure is a human interaction. The mere fact of belonging to something that is worthy will give us freedom. Freedom to develop and grow together. We won't forget each other and human interactions, right? Reply

Thanks David Grinberg. Yeah for me it started out as a kind of revenge thing. But then I realized that there's no revenge against an uncaring entity. Now it's a marketing thing. I want this site to be the place to be. That's the best revenge of all. Reply

Responsive as usual Javier beBee! Clear messaging about the level playing field in beBee is important. Reply

Nicely stated, as usual, Jim Murray Your blogs about beBee and other efforts -- along with that of all the ambassadors and fans of this wonderful budding social network -- has played an instrumental role in attracting more users to the site and growing its popularity. The fact is, to be blunt like you, LinkedIn couldn't give a rat's ass about it's users, especially the non-paying ones. This is especially true for independent writers who once helped build LI's publishing platform (Pulse) into the go-to site for independent writers. But then LI stripped bloggers of their ability to fully engage with their own networks who voluntarily chose to follow them. This was a cold slap in the face, to put in mildly. Thus, as you state, the exodus from LI for greener pastures began shortly thereafter -- and for good reason. Those of us who were led to beBee by the platform's "Moses" (John White) found an oasis in the desert. And for those who try to belittle ambassadors as"cheerleaders," I say this: Cheerleaders are all about showing spirit, support, enthusiasm and teamwork. How do I know? My better half, Nicole, was a cheerleader coach for 9-years. So to those who belittle the dedication, time and efforts of this group of impressive and admirable ambassadors and fans of beBee, I would just say this: lighten up a little! Thanks for all you do, Jim, along with the other fine ambassadors and fans of beBee. Buzz on! Reply

All of us bees is the mantra I have been chanting since the beginning, Kevin Pashuk Reply

Dear Jim, I would never accuse you of being an elitist, as evidenced by the fact you let me into your circle of friends. I've had much to say on this topic, and a recent post of mine went way north of 7000 views. I've gotten to (virtually) know many of the ambassadors through engagement. My warning was that we beBee users guard ourselves and not let the Ambassador program become part of the 'in' crowd, like any form of recognition is on other platforms. Part of that guarding is watching language like the following clip from the Ambassador's Terms and Conditions " beBee will indicate an Ambassador’s status with a special marking on their beBee profile signifying their premiere status on bebee.com." The words 'premiere status' could be misinterpreted. My post also declared that it up to all of us bees, ambassadors or not, to build beBee into an affinity based platform that actually succeeds.

Always enjoy the exchanges between you two lads Phil Friedman Dr. Friedman often prompts me to seek out my dictionary. If nothing else I know now what instantiate means. Ain't lifelong learning grand? Reply

#5 Phil Friedman. Thanks for your comment. As I said, I am mostly speaking for myself and am admittedly getting to know the other ambassadors. But the among us the question of trolls has come up. And by trolls I do not mean those who offer intelligent criticism, because that's tantemount to shooting myself in the foot. Reply

No nemesis or paranoia, Pascal Derrien. Just setting the record straight. Thx, jim Reply

In business you always reach a point when your business model attracts detractors, you can not ignore them when it is constructive but it should not become a nemesis either. Personally I focus on positive stuff as much as I can it does not mean I am naïve (or maybe I am :-)) Reply
