Phew...I'm glad you agree. I'm not sure why, but I was concerned about writing that post. The big LMS players have been able to capitalize on the evolution of the current educational system with tools like Blackboard, and others. But what they fail to see (or maybe just fail to monetize at this point) is the revolution that is occuring. Its not about the technology...really. It's about people: People connecting, people creating, people sharing, people searching for meaning.

I wonder if we simply called a gathering of people coming together to share ideas a "Group". And if someone in the group was elected to be the "leader" and another scheduled times for the group to meet. Then we created a simple database that tracked attendance and connected each individual's identity to the group identity. Would that database infringe upon the patent? :)

The true revolution has begun and most people are part of it and don't even realize it.
