Poll on International Blogger Dialogues

I've taken a note from George Nemeth over at Brewedfreshdaily about Fast Company's polls. Thanks George.

I have set up a simple poll that I'd like to invite you to take. Here is the question:

Should Northeast Ohio bloggers start a series of international dialogues with Canadian and UK bloggers on a series of topics of mutual interest?

Why ties with Canada and the UK? For one, there are many bloggers in both countries. Second, we share a common language (and yes French Canadian is spoken in parts of Canada). Third, cities in these countries face some similar challenges as those faced in NE Ohio. It's a starting point. If it works, we could expand the effort to include other countries.

Click here to vote "yes".

On the poll page you will see a place to add comments. Please suggest 1 or 2 brief topics that might serve as the subject matter for these dialogues. Any other comments are welcome as well.

Possible topics could include: economic development; blogging practices and techniques; using blogs for business; community development; retaining and attracting young talent; arts and culture; making cities cool places; spiritual growth and practices; sustainable development; how to build international ties among and between cities; and a host of other topics. Use your imagination.

You can check the poll results here.

I would welcome help from any NEO bloggers or bloggers in Canada and the UK who would be willing to put a post on their blog with a link to the Fast Company poll site. More the merrier.

Thank you.
