The humble status update has become something of a joke. We do dozens of them a day and we let them pass by without any concern for building something new out of them. We should take our time with them, and reflect before we write them. We will make the future of Status Updates because it is an important way of telling our stories into being.

Joe Dillon did a great reflection on how Open Invitations have led to his understanding of Open Education, and I wanted to dig a little bit deeper into this concept of an Open Invitation. It is my thought that the three elements of an invitation are the Ask, The Story and The Person (doing the asking).

So, what are you asking for, what is the story you are telling, and how are you presenting yourself in your own Open Invitations.

Learning and Community Milestones are very real, and they happen with increasing frequency as we become more connected and involve ourselves in better conversations. However, I am at a loss for how to celebrate these milestones and not have them be able to the numbers or metrics that so often are the reason we recognize the milestone at all. For example, I now have 3000 Twitter followers. What does that mean, and how should we celebrate that fact?
