Congrats to Mark and David Crow and everyone who’s pulled together together to make this phenomenon happen. TransitCamp is on the top page of Digg. (Digg link)
The verdict is in, the (now global) TorCamp ChatSwarm aka the 24/7 virtual un-conference, at first a possibly dubious invention, is now firmly in the territory of net-productivity.
The ChatSwarm it’s shaking of innovation in every direction like a dog throwing water off it’s back.
Let me know and join you to the conversation: I’ll I’m “tom_purves” on skype.
Why I’m excited: This is a great a great story not just from the perspective on the TransitCamp (geeks, designers and enthusiast spontaneously banding together to drive positive change for their environment and a local institution), but also for the tools used to bring it all together. read more on Mark’s blog here. this is going to be a great case study in social media (touching almost all of them). I’m also interested in the business angle of this, the RFP’s that may spin out of this and as a model for the spontaneous aggregation of a potential virtual firm? Very Consulting 2.0 (referring to another nascent experiment Jevon and I have started, and loosely affiliated with Firestoker) .

The Swarm knows all. It sees all. It knows the answers to all questions.
I have a pending blog post about Consulting 2.0 and the role of indie social media enabled consultants as a cloud of always-on nanobots, swarming on intractable strategic and practical problems.
That’s mine by the way…don’t you dare…
Mark.
