Thumbs Down Facebook, Thumbs Up WA
If you are like me, you probably spend a bit more time on Facebook than you probably should. I use it primarily for business, however it ultimately does not lead to better productivity, in fact, it retracts from productivity.
I am not ditching Facebook altogether and this is not what I am getting at. Facebook is powerful for business. However, what I am going to be doing is spending more time here on Wealthy Affiliate, articulating my thoughts, providing insight into certain aspects of online business, and interacting and socializing with people here instead of Facebook.
In the 5 hours since we have rolled out the new version of WA, The Open Education Project I would have to say I have interacted in ways I haven't EVER within WA and I am doing so much more efficiently.
I am actually using the system. I am benefiting from the system. And I am encourage to use the system much more and offer much more value.
You can test something all you want (as we did), but until you have real users to interact with in a live setting, it is difficult to understand those interactions and relationships. I can tell you I am interested in spending a lot more time here and utilizing WA as my dump of knowledge and sometimes annoyances, but nevertheless, you will be seeing a lot more of me within The Open Education Project (and I am sure Carson as well).
Looking forward to it!
