Participation Makes the Site!

Hello dance-techers,
Welcome the new members!

Dance-tech.net is conceived as a distributed and decentralized open platform for generation information and knowledge. It is a communicational intervention in our cultural system that allows us to be proactive, critical and responsible for the generation of knowledge about our practices and happenings without depending in the main stream (often) centralized media platforms of the establishment, and commonly dominated by market forces and traditional perspectives of the system of distribution of art.

I am very happy with the increased participation in last three months but still receive some emails with newsletters and press releases from some members asking me to post them.
Humm! Sometimes I do...but you can do it yourself...

In this short message I thank you for your willingness to participate and I encourage you to be part of the conversations, to showcase, to challenge, to respectfully disagree, to update your profile, to invite friends to join and to request friendships creating your internal emergent network.

To share!

I invite you to continue using the platform for video sharing, events promotion, and participate in discussions and groups. Express your self customizing your page design and layout!

Find creative ways to using them!
Suggest readings!
Make a collaborative poem or a dance! or just say hello!
Meetup face to face with dance-tech.net members of your city!
Take advantage to the different kind of organizations that are members...We all can help!

NUMBERS:

I think that the usage numbers will motivate us: in the last two months we have maintained an average of 1500 page visits a day and we have reached the 3000 page visits a day several times.
We have reached critical mass and we are manifesting the synergies of participation that this open platform allows!

It is the participation of people what makes a SITE, in cities and the internet.

We do make this site together!

So, we are growing and we keep rocking!
