How can nonprofits pay for their online community endeavors? One answer lies in intellectual property. The creation of a sophisticated web site involves the creation of a lot of intellectual property — property that has financial value. This blog post looks at some of the ways that property can be monetized.
OK, I'm cheating a little here — I already love my work a lot of the time. But recently I connected with someone who is helping our company bring its work into even closer alignment with our values and our goals.
Alanna Fero is a career consultant and personal coach who helps people figure out how they can bring their work into alignment with their values. She knows how to bring a values-aligned career or business to life — to get from aspiration to vision to the nuts-and-bolts of how to get yourself from here to there.
And now she's launching a book that will make her approach accessible to a wider audience. Love Made Visible will be released on August 15. Launch details below:
LOVE MADE VISIBLE RELEASE PARTY
5:30 – 7:30pm August 15th
The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club
3811 Point Grey Road Vancouver BC (at Highbury, just west of Alma)
Book Signing, Light Refreshments & Great Networking
Please RSVP by August 12 to launch@alannafero.com
Why invest in an online community if Facebook is going to knock you out of the game?
We’ve recently started exploring Second Life, a virtual world that constitutes an exciting, immersive form of online community. Here’s what we’ve learned so far.
For all of us thinking about death and grieving, the Body Worlds exhibit is holding an interesting event this weekend:

CBC Radio host Priya Ramu will host a discussion among representatives of Vancouver’s Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish and Sikh religious communities regarding their perspectives on death and dying, the body and soul, funeral practices and the public display of human bodies for educational purposes.
