‘Show Notes’ for Episode 3 of The Convocast – enjoy!
Today’s topic – Importance of sharing what you know with others, and doing it from your own domain, but still being able to share with other social media
Blogging – one way to do that
Twitter – lots of people post on Twitter, but their posts disappear off the timeline and are pretty difficult to find again
A Twitter user I follow posts excellent links and nuggets of information, but if I don’t blog about it or save a link to the post, it’s gone
What do I have to share?

Call for questions from listeners on this episode
Question for John Philpin
How does the concept of cooperatives or worker-owned business fit into the People First framework? Is it something that could be applied across the economy, or is it better for certain types of industries? Would like to hear your thoughts on that topic, have included some recent links for context.
