• A great idea to get it out there by putting the first draft online - a win-win situation with you gaining feedback and (hopefully constructive) criticism. A good friend of mine has started writing a book and I'll mention this to him.

• I have found you and I am very much interested in what you do. I am a first time author and need all the help I can get. My first book is called 'Pressure Within' and I would love it to be out there for other people to read. I do not know how to do this and would be very grateful for your help in this matter. The second story is a childrens one and I am busy with another novel. You may find faults and I would be grateful if you pointed these out to me as I am open to critisim. I have the book printed off at home and also saved on disc. Thank you. Mrs. Sandra Trainor.

• You did a great job and it´s really very interesting to realize that so many people are seeing the same thing and thinking the same way. Have you heard about the One Web Day initiative? Similar work to yours. I´ve writen a small article about this subject, how the web can strengthen democracy.

  Good luck! BTW, I´ve posted your video on my blog with captions in Portuguese.

• Now ploughing through your book after attending your talk in Belfast. This is a subject I have been giving over more and more time to thinking about and trying to engage people in conversation about without even realising I was doing so. We Think has corralled those thoughts together for me.
  I'm trying to think backwards on how I stumbled on your talk, and if I recall correctly it was through some blog or other which led me to the Inaugural Belfast Book Festival which led me to UUB on a Friday afternoon on York Street. Thinking on it too, the Festival itself has not reached my attention through any other traditional marketing medium. Despite the fact that every cafe in Belfast has window ledges rammed with What On's and What To Do's. This successful transmission of information and dissemination of ideas initially through the web is in itself fascinating to me. And maligners note that the sequence of ones and naughts that led from random blog to lecture theatre cumulated in an engaging real-time exploration of ideas in a room full of people and ultimately put another book on my shelves. Your talk and subsequently your book has armed me with the tools to rationalise my fascination more clearly and decide how I'm going to channel it more effectively. Levellers and Pebbllers should start here.

• First chapter, first paragraph, 6the line, 3rd word, should be '"is".
  
  Rather trivial, however, surely I will come back to you with more substantial feedback, I may hope ... :-)
  
  Enjoyed your performance @ The Public Services Summit in Stockholm this week. Truly inspirational.
  
  Have a nice weekend.

• A brilliant idea to live as you learn, and so good that you all pulled it off. Inspired by your example (and others), as an experiment, I started a conceptual frisbee federation that only exists on a wiki site. I want to see if I can't compete under its name at worlds some time. :-)

• Never read a book so quickly. Think I need some sleep now! Great read.
  
  Thanks

• I am currently reading your book and I'm sure it will be finished soon as I can't put it down!
  
  Absolutely fascinating - keep up the good work.

• I like to think of myself as a bit of a Pro-Am, and one who refers to Wikipedia several times per day. It’s a little early in the site’s history to see its effects on the state of the world, but I have a bit of an idealistic attitude about something that has such widespread attention and appeal. The traditional Encyclopaedia Britannica was obsolete before it was unpacked and put on the shelf. Every now and then I come across the odd statement or theory that doesn’t quite ring as clinical and unbiased, but I prefer to read with an open mind what has been created and is updated by fellow professional amateurs such as myself over stagnant text from a leather-bound volume. Hopefully ten or twenty years from now something wonderful will have come about from this effort to share everything with everyone.
  Thank you for posting chapters on your site. I can’t wait to buy the rest of it (although I hope you’ve spelled corporation right on page nine in the copy that I pay for)!

• As this site is all about collaboration and community and showing how "mass innovation" and "open-thought-sharing" actually benefit humanity,where is the forum? Where can we all come together to speak? To chat? To communicate? To innovate? What if we want to discuss your central ideas?
  
  "Mass innovation, not mass production"
  
  What does that mean? If we're not producing, where are we getting the stuff we consume?
  
  I'm well confused.
  
  
  Peace.

• Great stuff - lightbulbs flashing all over the place!
  
  This chimes with some work we are doing on spreading good community enterprise models peer to peer through social franchising.
  
  These ideas are of their time, but will require power shifting and therefore wiil be resisted by folks currently making their living from the old way of doing things through vertical hierarchies.
  
  The design concept we are developing is called communityNet and can be seen on www.du-services.co.uk
  
  Your book has inspired me to put our document out there for the world to develop.
  
  Thanks!

• Great to hear your discussion with Peter Day on the World Service. Fantastic way to spead the word of innovation

• Hi Charles, I am really interested in your book and I will probably read it in a near future.
  And I am also interested in knowing more about how were the drafts and the readers comments. Are these comments online? Were they published previously in this same page?
  Thanks and congratulations for the book (and for the video)!
  Regards from Brazil.

• Hi Charlie,
  I am currently reading your book which I plan to refer to in my talk at the Science Museum on 22 April. It is a talk which I will be giving simultaneously at the Science Museum Dana Centre and in Second Life along with Howard Rheingold. In my short talk, I am going to be suggesting how the virtual worlds of Second Life can be used the revitalise the world economy by using a different legal system in the virtual world based partly upon your We-Think concepts. Over the course of the evening we are going to be considering the social and mental impacts of Virtual Worlds and their legal regulation.
  
  Let me know if you can come along and I will share with you my proposals. For all other readers of this page please note that the talk is a public event so everyone is welcome - the Dana Centre should have an audience of 80 but the number of people via Second Life is far larger.

• I'm halfway into chapter three and just wanted to say I'm really enjoying it. I like finding out that stuff is not as new as it sounds. There's something very comforting in the continuity between past and present. I'll definitely be buying your book. Thanks.

• Hi Charlie,
  
  I attended your book launch and wished there had been more time for questions. I'll ask you mine here instead:
  
  I wondered whether you'd comment on the possible influence of monotheism in Western intellectual culture. The Old Testament contains lots of "thou shall worship no God but me", and relatively little "thou shall worship no God but me, Frank and the green one with horns". Authority rests with a single deity. Jesus was the son of God - a singular voice, whereas the lessons of several sons of God might have provoked argument, debate... ambiguity.
  
  Do you think that the decline of organised religions in the Western world correlates with a new enthusiasm for collaboration, idea-sharing - a flattening of hierarchies and shrugging-off of Authority?
  
  I'd be interested to know your thoughts on this (obviously, or I wouldn't be posting). Thanks!

• I developed We Think in part by releasing a the first draft online for people to make comments. I got a lot of support and some very helpful comments. As I develop my thinking around We Think and other projects I am keen to draw on the ideas and suggestions of others. So please leave a comment below. It could be anything: a linked idea; a project I may well have missed; a book that should be read. Of course praise is very pleasing but criticism is even more powerful: so if you think there is stuff that is wrong or missing please point that out.
