AutomatedBuildings.com Editorial

We are all involved in our own "Radical Reinvention Reconfiguration & Forced Evolution" and we need to communicate our progress not only with our industry but the world.

The world is in the same transition and their progress radically effect our reinvention with concepts like the Uber effect. Thinking out loud allows us to communicate effectively with our younger connected mentors who see a new world with a new way of doing.

AutomatedBuildings.com is deep in our own reinvention trying to see how to best to have the industry engage in the communication of our change.

I am very pleased with Our LinkedIn online group was created for discussion of our magazine created in 2010 AutomatedBuildings.com Online Magazine Forum now has over 4700 members and has taken on a life of its own. I read the group with the same interest as everyone else to see what folks want to share what new and trending.

We all need a place to tell our story in our own words so the world know who we are.

In gathering information for our web resource our biggest single problem is folks are too busy to tell of their reinvention or it is not evolved enough to share. We all need the "What Happened to your Tail? and You Grew Legs?' conversation while we are in this forced evolution.

I read the group with the same interest as everyone else to see what folks want to share what new and trending.

Our online magazine was started 23 years ago before social media identities like, LinkedIn launched on May 5, 2003, and Twitter Twttr launched to the public in July 2006, were vehicles of how special interest folks could find each other. We are working to build bridges from our long online history of controlled blogging of ongoing industry information with these and other social media of the day. You can help as we see AutomatedBuildings.com as a landing pad for information that needs to be shared with our industry. We never throw anything away and it always resides at the same URL.
