If you do this people who are interested will respond and then you can build relationships with them. They will in turn tell others about you and they will be curious and check out whats going on, so then you can build your relationship with them. And then the cycle continues.

You've really expanded my thinking on this. What I'm looking for now is for some bright programmer/technology pro to start scoping out the sorts of tools and technology that can leverage the magnificent input you guys have laid out here. I can't help but think that the existing tools, as exciting as they are, have barely scratched the surface. Best to you - and your extended family :), Robin Thanks, Iggy. You’ve really expanded my thinking on this.

You've taken the thinking to a whole, new level. The contextual thinking you propose is powerful: "I’m likely to trust someone, whom I’ve just met, in a certain context depending on where in the spectrum I relate to them." With this approach Roger, what do you see as the future role of technology in facilitating these contextually relevant, mass relationships? Best to you, Robin :) Marvelous input, Roger.

That's an excellent question. Language gets murky - imprecise. One person's relationship is another person's connection (and visa versa). Take trust. What does it take for you to trust someone? I'm sure we all have our own definition or 'rules'. We've just 'met' through social media. We've tweeted and skyped. We've connected, but when does it click into 'relationship'? Is trust possible without a meeting in-real-life? Can trust be accelerated using technology? Great stuff, Luke. Talk soon. Robin :) Hey Luke – is this developing into a ‘Russian Doll’ discussion? ;)

And as you allude to, a much bigger discussion than this post. You've put some tangible examples on the table for others to build on. Thank you. It seems to me that the assumptions around what it takes to build a relationship e.g. the time it takes to get to know someone; the time it takes to build empathy and trust, have been based on pre-technological times. I guess some key questions for me are...will improving technologies reduce the time it takes to build empathy and trust? How? Great to have your continued input into this topic, Tony.

What a great discussion this is becoming (a great topic to discuss collaboratively on Google Wave). When I read Roger's comment, I was nodding enthusiastically through it all - very will written. Same with yours Iggy - I like the way you both make your case by adding personal anecdotes to inform and educate the readers about how you've formed your view - displaying wisdom. If you haven't read it yet, I tweeted @rand's fascinating post about Twitter and Information: "How much will I consume and how much will I create?" which I picked up /via @rossdawson @bigyahu See http://bit.ly/9PTtbm It's not so much specifically about managing mass relationships but relevant in the context of how Twitter IS story-telling, and telling stories and sharing facilitates relationship-building.
