Unfettered Mind Ning

Kia ora from New Zealand! I'm Ann, one of the site administrators for Unfettered Mind Ning, UM's social network. The others are George, Tracy, Franca, Peri, Susan and Jesse. We do things like checking to make sure new members aren't spambots, dissuading anyone who attempts to use the site for self-promotion or commercial purposes, posting new events, organizing the appearance and content of the site, welcoming new members and responding to questions and suggestions for improvement. If you haven't visited The Barometer, The Privacy Watchdog or the FAQ, take a peek at these for an idea of some of the questions and issues that have come up since UM Ning was initiated. We welcome your comments, suggestions and offers of help. Please post these on The Barometer or send a message.

I'm also involved in monitoring use of the UM Ning site with Google Analytics and through direct observation, occasionally blogging about findings in a series called Visualizing Unfettered Mind. As a member of the transcribing group, I'm excited about the launch of podcast transcripts and look forward to hearing about the creative uses that people will inevitably dream up for them. For more about this see this post by Jesse.
