I'll keep an eye on their social community - there are a lot of existing communities so it will be interesting to see how this one does. I love the Ignite magazine – it has a great, fresh format.

In essence this would mean that customers are paying to recycle their own paper waste, but the cost would be insignificant on a per-customer basis.

We need to tap into the collective knowledge of the attendees and learn from each other – which will provide greater learning than just listening to the speaker at the front." I agree with this concept one hundred percent. The speaker is no Guru! In my experience with meetings they were and are noting more than procrastination. Lets get on with the project and have less time wasting meetings. You wrote:

Meetings are only productive if people speak up, especially to clarify something that has been said or even to challenge what has been said. Just sitting and listening is not what a meeting should be about. I totally agree!
