This fall in the implicit rules department-- Don't try to sell anything. People here at CR2.0 don't seem to like it when people start their post with "have I got just the thing to solve all your problems...." There is a subgroup for people who have something to sell.

Your question is intriguing. (I saw it a while ago and I'm finally getting around to responding).<br />

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll offer my own experience with CR 2.0. When I got on this network it only had around 2000 members. I am a classroom teacher and when I first started most of the people I came across were technology teachers or those in higher ed. As it's continued to grow, I see a lot more general education teachers and many more from other parts of the world - which makes it…

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll offer my own experience with CR 2.0. When I got on this network it only had around 2000 members. I am a classroom teacher and when I first started most of the people I came across were technology teachers or those in higher ed. As it's continued to grow, I see a lot more general education teachers and many more from other parts of the world - which makes it a lot more interesting. Even though it has become rather global in scope, English is definitely the primary language in almost every post I've seen.<br />
<br />
Early on, I saw some random (computer) geekiness in a few posts, but most of the conversation I see now comes from those searching for advice and reviews for different applications or tools. For a long time I never started a discussion of my own - I didn't want to post something that no one would reply to. From time to time I'll see a post that seems pointless, but the vast majority are quite productive. I didn't want to be one of the pointless ones, so I posted some comments here and there until I felt comfortable posting a discussion question. To my surprise, the post generated quite a bit of discussion and I've learned a lot from it. This also opened me up to several new people whom I might not have encountered otherwise.<br />
<br />
I don't know when I'll post another discussion question, but I will certainly make sure that it has relevance to the community. That seems to be an understood 'rule' of sorts in CR 2.0. Besides that, I haven't run across inappropriate conversations and everyone is always helpful and gracious in their comments or replies to conversations.<br />
<br />
That is based on my experience only, though I would be interested to hear others' stories.
