The net needs glue

The metaphor for my December workshop on learning and the social web in Berlin is a journey across a stunning Alpine road. The way is trecherous, so  I’ve invited a dozen learning gurus to act as mountain guides. This morning I wanted to email a copy of the Guide’s Guidebook to a friend who would be joining us but I couldn’t find her email address.

Online, I know this person through the Internet Time Community site. I never had her real email address, and the community’s messaging function does not support sending attachments. Not a problem, I thought; she is a community person. Surely there’s a real email address for her somewhere on the net. I clicked over to her site.

No email address on her site. No email address I could find on any of these. No way to email an attachment.  Sometimes the small pieces on the web seem too loosely joined.
