What does it mean to “Plant Seeds” online?
Some people call ’em “footprints”, I call ’em seeds. Seeds are the tracks you leave online every time you fill out a profile, leave a comment, Plurk, Tweet, friend someone, upload a video, share pictures, email a new contact, write a guest post, join a wiki, discussion board or online book club. (To name a few.)

Why “seeds”? Because seeds can grow and flourish. Because seeds are hopeful. Because seeds can be spread anywhere. The web, you see, is fertile ground. And while your site is important – the anchor of your online presence, really – it’s only one site of millions or several pages of millions more. The more seeds you plant, the more chances you have to get noticed, build relationships and lead people back to your site. The more they get to know about you, the more they can come to trust, refer , talk about, and do business with you.

What you can expect from this new website
Here, you can expect to learn about the tools and sites where you can plant seeds and how to do so. Whether through video, slide presentations, your guest posts or just reading what I have to say, I’m hoping that this site will become a key read for you and your contacts. And I’m also hoping that you have a big hand in its evolution. Feel free to write a post, point me to a video (yours or one that’s inspired you) or ask me to post your slide presentation. Anything goes here, as long as it’s on topic.

This site is yours as much as it is mine, if not more.

Play. Participate. Plant. I look forward to growing with you here.
