The End of an Experiment

Early last year we undertook a project to put our personal events and networking calendar onto the web for anybody to use. By "personal" I mean that it was something that we had been doing internally for a while in order to make it easier to get me out of the office and into the world. Having a holding bin in an Outlook calendar helped us to plan ahead. It seemed like a worthwhile project to see if we could go ahead and share the resources with the rest of the world through what we called out "Social Capital Calendar".

We even invited others to submit their events.

But somewhere along the way it stopped working for us. We found ourselves investing time into something that wasn't fun, nor was it really helping our business as far as we could tell. So, today, after much deliberation, we are pulling the switch. We'll leave the calendar up here for a while but the domain is expiring soon. Until it does expire it will be redirected to this post.

We will still be putting out there the stuff that we think is cool and important - especially if it's something I will be attending myself. But it's going to be much simpler and more in tune with what we are really about rather than a bulletin board for people to promote "whatever".

Watch this space for future details.
