Trust in the Digital Age

A number of questions regarding trust in the digital age:

• In the new world of internet communication how do people build trust?
• If I am in email communication with you how do you come to build a collaborative relationship with me?
• If you are a blogger, how do your readers come to a position on being able to act on or respond to your comments?
• What leads me to a level of trust that I post a comment on your site with my own name?
• There seems to be great promotion about how all in the economy eventually will be handled digitally. Will things move faster when there is some physical interface?
• At what point in digital networks in degrees of separation do trust and respect stretch thin and no longer flow?
• Do the bonds of trust reduce geometrically the more connections involved?
• How fragile are digital bonds of trust?

Have you done your part to help enhance the civic space today? Have you introduced someone you know to someone else you know because you feel the two of them or the three of you have something in common? Have you thought about how two entrepreneurial people you know might benefit from talking with each other and actually done something about it?

If not, send an email introduction today and then follow it up with a contact of your own. Help your friends and acquaintances tell and spread their stories. Grow your collaborative network and enhance the quality connected place we know our community to be. Help make the box bigger; save others from working on their own outside the box.
