      If something like a Social Style Guide for Facebook exists – I haven’t seen it. It would serve some of my Friends, some of whom will be deprived from my friendship in the shortest possible future imaginable. I would have thought that some of the most basic forms of social etiquette also applied to the way we interact online.

      Obviously, it’s not that clear…


      I will be the first one to admit that my social network conduct may not always been top-notch either. As you remember, as recent as last week I was tarred and feathered as a spammer by one of my Facebook ‘Friends’ who clearly objected to receiving a link-carrying message from me.

      The Facebook Team berated me previously for sending too many Friend Requests in one go, also accusing me of either being an automated ‘thing’ that spat out requests at random, or someone who was just looking to bump-up his Friend List by sending invites to any soul who happen to pass by at the time.

      So much for being organised and working from list to do exactly what Facebook didn’t want me to do: sending too many invites in a too short space of time.

      In Facebook’s world being too efficient can make one look suspicious.

      For long I believed in the concept of Open Source – the power of like-minded and same-focus communities to create and develop ‘New’.

      Partially, it was this belief that drove me to establish GBLCG.com as a platform where a global community could ideate not just new futures but better ones.

      Now that GBLCG.com has reached a level of technical maturity it’s time for me to put my thoughts into action. And I am going to be bold about it…

      I am going to give three people the opportunity to host their ‘own’ forum spaces here at GBLCG.com – for free.

      To me, that’s a bit like giving your first-born away. I’ll be taking a huge leap of faith in three persons who I believe have what it take to move GBLCG.com forward. As such, I will carefully select those three, although I have only vague ideas at this stage on how to do this.

      I envisage that candidates must post their ideas on the topic(s) they want to run in their GBLCG.com forum space. Winners will be chosen based on the number of ‘Likes’ they received, the number of page views they generated and based on my own verdict.

      About two months ago a man got sacked from his job for making ‘sexually-laden remarks’ about one of his female co-workers. I imagine that this happens every day, in every office, and mostly within the confinement of a few trustworthy colleagues. It’s probably less common for someone to send such remarks instantly to 1,200 colleagues by email – which is where things turned to custard for him. It was an accident, of course, but one that limited his career opportunities at his employer quite dramatically.

      Apparently, in defending his actions before the firm’s partner-panel afterwards he declared that the woman to whom he referred in that fateful email typically dressed to provoke similar comments as he had made.

      The sackable offence was not that he had made ‘sexually laden remarks’ but that those remarks had been transmitted, in writing, to just about any of his colleagues located in a 1,500 mile radius.

      As it turned out, only three of twelve-hundred people had complained but this was nonetheless, according the partners, sufficient to cut the man’s career short immediately.

      Their verdict rested on the principle that the firm was ‘an equal opportunity employer’ and that it ‘embraced equal-level peer relationships between female and male colleagues’.

      Hi - and welcome to GBLCG.com..

      As you can see, this site is under development. We’re working almost 24/7 to bring it to you as an online forum where far-thinking, creative and ‘ideating’ entrepreneurs gather.

      It will be a site unlike most others. The stuff that you’ll find here will typically be unconventional and non-traditional. Innovation is what we’re looking for.

      We’re pleased to see that the first members are already signing-up for the free-of-charge account we currently offer.


      And, as you would expect from us, signing-up is a no-strings-attached affair.

      Right now, there are two discussions underway:

      If you want to take a look at what's happening in these forums and you're stopped by a message that tells you that you can't - it's because you're not a Registered Member.

      You can solve that problem right now by registering for your own free-of-charge account. It probably takes you less than five minutes to get underway - and it may just be one of the best decisions you could make today...

      Grab that free-of-charge account by clicking on the registration widget on the top-right side of this page.

      In the meantime, I’ll be working fast and furious with other members and our team to make this one of the best sites on innovation and entrepreneurship ever…

      Thanks for passing by – look forward to reading your ideas on any of the afore mentioned topics!

      Hope to see you inside soon..

      Raymond
