It is desirable to encourage more professional and not only social hives and discussions in different scientific and social fields. We need to increase the number of top multi skilled professionals on platform. Reply

David...I agree that there will probably never be a 50/50 split between the business side and the social side. All I'm saying is that there is opportunity for business people here, and if people start capitalizing on it, that's going to create interest and make beBee attractive to those who think it's too 'social' and not 'business' enough. Once they get here, that's a whole different thing. Reply

You're right and that's an issue I have as well, but as far as social media sites got beBee is still growing and I'm sure that Javier and crew are taking in all the suggestion being made in posts like this and others. I'm convinced that they rely on this insight to help them shape policy for the site. Reply

Charles this post was primarily about the business stream. And you're certainly welcome to write a post on inclusivity. But that's not what this post was about. That, as they say in my business, is a whole other story. Reply

@Jim Murray Some great thoughts and I would like to add another piece. The hives do not breakdown far enough the streams to make them searchable. I have noticed on many media sights that the flow of information is large and unruly. The hit or miss of finding something that is relevant to your current position is difficult. Finding like minded folks is pretty easy or folks who share a philosophy, but the real business aspects that I believe readers/viewers would like is a way to search their specific issues. I would suggest that we take a hive and allow certain keywords to be attached and searchable. New managers and leaders or budding entrepreneurs have specific needs at a specific moment. Being able to share with folks who have passed through the specific need and how they approached it or just knowing your not alone in dealing with issues within business. Partnerships, transitioning from corporate pay check to self employed or many other issues with just these two could be parsed and searched so folks could find resources and share experiences that are specific. I believe BeBee has the opportunity to separate themselves from the herd through allowing folks to share with specific issues while at the same time fostering real life exchanges. Just some thoughts, and maybe this searchable aspect exists. I am new to the site and haven't yet explored all the capabilities. LI suffered with a poor search engine that seemed to be trying to accomplish something other than being useful. Reply

thanks Chas Wyatt. BeBee will get funner with the next features during the next months. Reply

Thanks for your always enlightening perspective, blunt assessment and helpful advice, Jim Murray consider making some more sweet honey about this so we can all share the buzz. Reply

I agree Jim Murray. I think broadening the scope, business wise, would help separate beBee from other sites, such as LI. I would hate to see beBee's business side become a clone of LI. For me, it's so damn selective, limited, and theoretical, that it's become predictable and stuffy. I think you're upcoming series and Phil Friedman's small-business buzz, among others, have the ability to interest a broader audience. They each have a distinct flavor. The author's passionate, human side shows through, in addition to their expertise. They're conversational, which could be a result of the affinity-based nature of beBee. They live and breath. I, for one, would be interested in reading similar buzzes from the wide-range of bees who are already buzzing around the various hives. beBee could corner the market on authenticity, all we have to do is loosen our ties and unbutton our suit coats before we begin to write.

You are what we call Purely Social, jesse. Reply

No, jesse, there's no block feature on here. BTW, nobody's obliged to do anything suggested here. These are just ideas that can help people with businesses and beBee at the same time. Reply

Jim Murray: you are truly an idea man and I love that about you. I can honestly say that I have had some thoughts along the same lines lately about enriching the business side of the platform. Your briilliantly articulated piece has helped me to reach greater conclusions. I appreciate it. Reply

Again I agree. But it was not my intention to touch all the bases, just to explain that if they were to add some business content to the stuff they are doing on t he social side, it would help. The comments, as usual, have taken really good care of discussing the rest. Reply

Thanks everybody. We have strong and very clear ideas about what beBee needs to improve. We would like the bees to focused on generating nice content and pollinating.... Differents opinions are great and social media is for disagreeing, not always agreeing. This is a message for everyone: "we will remove any account that send threats or restrict freedom to anybody. Go to other platforms to frighten, come to beBee for disagreeing or agreeing. Last warning ... I am sure you are smart people and will understand this public message. Reply

Thanks Jim Murray Reply

Jim Murray -- thanks for this message. This is something I noticed right away. I think the term we should use is "balance" -- right now, I think the "social" and the "affinity" aspects are emphasized. It's time to attract more career - business topic creators. And this will be up to us - the producers (creators). And the readers and commenters (curators). Dean Owen mentioned SEO - and this is critical - readers must be able to search for buzzes by topics - and creators must optimize their posts with key words to help SEO - and this may be where the hive concept comes in. Because as the number of posts increases, it will become impossible to find - or "re-find" posts of value. A while ago, Phil Friedman posted about affinity on the line and the insipidity of content - we do need to fix this, and I am glad you are starting to do this. (Present tense thinking . . .) Reply

Thank you Jim Murray and their teams who have turned an idea into a cash-generating business and keep its initial purpose as powerful motto to make the difference with sustainable profits, but not irrationaly too fast.The social media plateforms have different timings and new business rules...Less than 25 years old for the digital industry addressed to all. Yes, I am agree again with you , beBee.com is a very special mix and definitely the most important in term of business opportunities, driven by its examplarity commitments and reactivity at all levels, which resquets now, more skilled people aware about beBee business possibilities.

Dean Owen I hear what you are saying but what you are describing to me at least, is a whole different developmental event chain and I wholeheartedly agree with it.. The first 7 words of the title are What The Bees Can Do To Help... This is grass roots stuff. What you're talking about is much bigger and needs to be actualized, by a whole different set of tools. And by beBee's management. Obviously the site needs to be firing as many guns as possible. Your bazookas and my little derringers. Reply
