We did our Idealist.org startup meeting on Sunday. People asked me how I thought it went, and I couldn’t really tell, since I was bouncing around so much. But going by the feedback that’s trickling in, I guess it went okay. And now for the hard part: how do we keep this new community going?

I’ve been scrambling to find the one tool that we can all use - the one place where we can all go – to deepen ties and grow. So many tools, so little time. There are so many tools, that we have none. I love Wikia, which is great for collaborating on documents, but not much else. I’ve used Yahoo & Google groups, and I guess they’re okay. Which one is better, and is there something that we should use instead? I’ve used LinkedIn, and think it’s better than MySpace for telling people about ourselves, and for connecting people we know to people we know. We’re using Idealist.org and Meetup.com for events management. Is there something out there that does all this?

This multiplicity is not a huge problem for me, since I have multiple personalities. But I know that it’s a problem for normal people. Who can help them?
