New Ridgewood Geese Peace Blog

Team Ridgewood!

I just got back from Dayton, OH, where I attended a seminar on social media -- blogs, wikis, community Websites such as MySpace and YouTube, etc.-- and the powerful impact they have on communications. I started thinking about how we have been communicating with each other via email. While we're keeping each other informed of our efforts, we're missing out on an easily exploitable opportunity to spread word of our accomplishments as exponentially as our little feathery friends multiply their numbers--and then some.

It's all about establishing and building online relationships. For example, if David Feld would allow, we could place a link to our blog on the Geese Peace Website. Then, people who find his site can link to our blog to read about how our community is succeeding with the protocol. Sites linking to other sites has a powerful effect: it helps increase a site's rankings on search engines like Google. So this has the potential not only to help David's site get better search rankings when people Google terms such as "goose control." It also has the potential to help us! If someone in, say, West Milford stumbles across the GeesePeace site, then they'll also see our Blog. If they read our blog, they say, "Wow, it's working right over in Ridgewood!" Then they email a friend, who emails a friend, and on and on. Before you know it, people all over the tri-state area are finding out about GeesePeace, how concerned local communities are succeeding, and hopefully bringing their own communities on board. It's got great potential to supplement Diana's heroic efforts to inform, educate and energize surrounding communities.

Just a pipedream? Check out this true story of how a guy with a blog was able to trade one red paperclip for a house.

So let's start using this blog to chronicle our activity. All in favor, say "Aye!" (You can do that right here in the reader comments. Let me know whether you'd like to post yourself. If not, you can just email me and I'll post it for you.)
