Hello #SocialCafe - #collaboration is a hot topic today! And a GREAT way to find a new way, build a new possibility, or just to get things done.
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang) April 17, 2018

@Kathrynclang Oh, that reminds me.. I would like to join #daretobe as well... And, love the #collaboration is popping up all over the place! Thanks for pointing that out so I can do some searches :) #SocialCafe

Q1 What collaboration IDEAS have we covered so far in our #SocialCafe chats over the past few weeks?
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

A1 We have covered so many ideas and yet so many to cover in the arena of #collaboration ! I like how @staciewalker got us going and her idea with the workshops and collaborating with clients! #SocialCafe

Q1: What collaboration IDEAS have we covered so far in our #SocialCafe chats over the past few weeks? https://t.co/kSyclelOiI

So what IDEAS have we covered when it comes to collaboration? Or, collaborating on IDEAS? (Q1) #SocialCafe

@Kathrynclang You're a doll! Beautiful and thank you for tweeting this ;) #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

A1: I shared the idea of doing a "blog carnival" type post where I would ask for submissions to others and include a link to their post and a blurb about it. #SocialCafe twitter.com/socialcafechat…
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang) April 17, 2018

@Kathrynclang I realize it is late on the East Coast, but I think my brain is still fried on the idea of blog carnivals, even though I've done them... So, is it like the first person changes for each run at it? #SocialCafe #greatIdea #lovetotry
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

#socialcafe Finally made it!
— Con Sweeney(@conpsweeney) April 17, 2018

@conpsweeney I was starting to worry about you, Con! #SocialCafe Glad to see you :)
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

@socialwebcafe That's the way it was - but I would just do a "themed post" and invite people to be a part of it. #SocialCafe

Q2: What collaboration TOOLS have we discussed so far in our #SocialCafe chats over the past few weeks? https://t.co/vcL6XknmIO
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang) April 17, 2018

@Kathrynclang Would that be a sort of cross between the round up and the carnival (i.e. themed post) but with more depth, rather than quotes? #SocialCafe

I confess . . . I forgot what tools we talked about, but I've been using Slack and Zoom to help plan an upcoming conference. #SocialCafe twitter.com/socialwebcafe/…

A3 I daresay that the more I try to summarize what we have covered, as far as #collaboration #strategies in my head (that isn't as kooky as it sounds!) the more I think there are tons more strategies! I'm thinking of a "part three" on this "collaboration strategies" #SocialCafe

— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang) April 17, 2018

And, @conpsweeney 's tweet reminded me... Here at #SocialCafe we are continuing our innovation from back in 2013 (yes, we started it!) with the Twitter Chat / Video but with a twist...
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

We will have Round 1 and Round 2 every week with #SocialCafe > What is that? Think of it as a two-parter. Maybe you can only make the first half or last half or a light scratching of the surface and then a deeper dive, or our classic video engagement #skyisthelimit
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

A5: We can assist each other when we 1. invest in helping; 2. encourage in the endeavor; 3. Are open and honest with feedback #SocialCafe twitter.com/socialwebcafe/…
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang) April 17, 2018

Yes! That is what I loved using @storify for, like an automated way of keeping notes on Twitter Chats, back to when we started #SocialCafe in 2012. And, I also did it for #ggchat and #myblogguest when I hosted those twitter.com/Kathrynclang/s…

— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

@Kathrynclang @Storify Very true - copy/paste ;) Pain, but helpful and like you said, doable! #SocialCafe

A6 I feel like my collaboration objectives need redefining, but in a good way.. like they have blossomed into something so much larger and more beautiful than before this #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

And, @Kathrynclang and I have some #collaboration projects in the works! I was hoping we could share more info about them, but it is like we are still watching them unfold! #MoreInfo #NextWeek and Beyond! #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

@socialwebcafe I like that image - and I also like the idea of daring to do something larger and more beautiful! #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang) April 17, 2018

Another online tool that really helps us to realize how we can connect and #collaborate with others online, is the Twitter Relationship tool, @commun_it #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018

@socialwebcafe Very excited to be #Collaborating with you . . . One more (GREAT BIG) note on my White Board of World Domination! #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang) April 17, 2018

@socialwebcafe @commun_it Any tool that helps us connect with each other and grow relationships is something worth looking into! #SocialCafe
— Kathryn Lang(@Kathrynclang) April 17, 2018

I love the use of the word "daring" in that, as well. Is it crazy that I am picturing that as an anecdote to fear... as in fear that threatens to stifle the beauty of what could be birthed? Great word pic, @Kathrynclang ! #SocialCafe twitter.com/Kathrynclang/s…

Q7 What are we going to do differently this week, to move ahead in positive collaboration with others? #SocialCafe
— Deborah(@socialwebcafe) April 17, 2018
