I have been thinking about Trust online a lot these days, so when I saw this lovely image created out of the World Cafe Stewardship Dialog gathering, I wanted to "save" it to remind me of this stream of thinking. I have had no time to blog, let alone sit and contemplate ideas.

Here are a few other mental bookmarks for myself:

Information trust - we begin to trust someone not because we have gotten to know them/their identity, but we have begun to appreciate and trust the content they share via their blogs. That is NOT to say people don't share about themselves, but a lot of the connections I seem being made between blogs have a lot of information transaction in them.
The creation of trust has new faces in the blogging era. (See the recent conversations out of the elearning guys traveling around New Zealand. I need to fetch the link - Stephen Downe's posted about it.)
When virtual teams first started to take off, the idea of "swift trust" was posited. Swift to create, swift to destroy. What does that mean today?

Dan Randow said...: I think trust is specific to particular criteria. I do not trust my mechanic with my soul-stories and I would not let any of my close friends under the hood of my car. Someone once told me "trust is the bandwidth of knowledge-flow". I guess context is the frequency-range.
