Love this idea. Was just speaking to someone about the concept of holding "Office Hours" as a part of a program I am creating for college girls. Love having it confirmed here and by Tyler Durbin at Gen Y Journey in his post "Year In Review: What I've Learned Since College" -- http://www.genyjourney.com/2009/12/year-in-review...

i was born in 1966 in upstate New York to an immigrant mother and american indian father. He was a career army man that was pretty good at blowing things up and coming out of the jungle where he entered… slightly less good at mainstream employment. Still the hockey rink and marina provided me with some intersting life experiences, not least of which were the trailer park cook outs and limmericks i learned at the VFW and local watering holes. …
just kidding –
great idea. but could be improved by increasing the cross polination/randomness factor. we often go about chatting (confirming?) what we know…increasing access to those outside our industries or even ordinary folk can open us up to interesting opportunites: take your cab driver to lunch? call a professor in a different industry? mix it up.

Weird coincidence. I'm getting this going now, and will kick it into gear after the turn of the year. I'll let you know how it goes.

I think that's an awesome idea! I've had a hard time talking to most brand managers about digital and social media. They tend to lean on their agencies for "that kind of marketing". You're a rarity in the field so I applaud any efforts you can make to become more accessible.

Hi Dave,

Love the idea. Not enough sharing of general ideas…..

I think this is a great idea Dave. If you are every in Toronto, I would love to connect during your office hours indeed. This is something I should consider doing.

Dave,

I say go for it. It's simple, fundamental, and proven successful…solid. And, not sure how far you're looking to take your idea, but leveraging social media could make it rather big.
