The tale of the table under the tent...
Think
of the picnic table under the canopy tent in the
parking lot as Social Networking 1.0. It is the most
fundamental device for creating community networks.
World problems have been solved and judgment passed
on every local politician at this very table.
Just last month under this tent Leah Nesbitt was
declared the 2009 Downtown Red Wing Macaroni and
Cheese Smackdown Champion (she used all Wisconsin
natural ingredients).
At night the little Japanese lanterns are lit up and
the table becomes more of a 'night spot' where topics
are dissected, examined and reassembled, many times
over fermented nectar and usually in hushed voices.
In the mornings, it is a destination for coffee and a
newspaper.
Warren
Buffet would appreciate how effective this $70 picnic
table is as a marketing tool.
