I was very excited to find that my "Opportunity Knocks" question from 10/14/08 (see below) was the basis for The Big Question for November on Network Feedback on the Learning Circuits Blog? Thanks for the mention, Tony! I'll be watching the replies to this month's question very closely.

Mostly about the power of the network and Web 2.0 tools. First, I learned how far a ... learned first hand the exponential power of the social network of the web.

Our fearless uber-learning-blogger Tony Karrer points out Dave Lee's concern that there hasn't been much discussion about this month's question. So, I'll add some fuel for thought!

This month's ASTD Big Question is, again, a series of questions. Apparently one BIG question is not enough for the learning and development community. We aim to exceed expectations. If you have a to-learn list and are willing to share, and willing to share how you work with that list, that would likely be helpful information. I constantly have a "to-learn" list. Some of the items are necessary and some are "pie-in-the-sky."

Learning Circuit's big questions for December are: 1. What will you remember most about 2006? For me, it will probably be my first complete year of blogging.

I'm sure that participants have seen that value as well (although it likely differs from month to month).

You can see a bit more of the article that got deleted at: Learning and Networking with a Blog (Deleted Scenes) .
