Horsesmouth is a UK based Web 2.0 company went in to public beta recently and I've got high hopes for them - I think it's a very cool idea and reflects what we've been doing inside Microsoft for a while with mentorship programmes but much much wider. I love the phrase "enter the wisdomocracy".
I signed up last week and now I'm busy working out what wisdom I have to share. For a moment I though "why should I share" and then "what do I have of value to share" but I work on the principle that sharing is a good thing as people value it and tend to share back or make interesting connections for you. It's how I've met some of the most interesting people I know...by sharing and not expecting anything back. Mike Pegg is a great proponent of this and gives away a tonne of brilliant stuff on his site and Keith Ferrazzi espouses similar virtues in his book Never Eat Alone.
What have you shared recently? At the moment I'm busy sharing out all of my books and send a weekly email to my friends called "The Friday Thing" that has useful stuff I find on the web each week.
