A Thousand OJar’s?

I remember hearing this phrase at a conference once, “If You’re Not Growing, You’re Dying” and at the time I filed it mentally under, “load of crap!”. OK, yeah I have a cynical streak but who hasn’t right? Well I was talking to Chris (OJar-Chris) tonight about the possible future plans for OJar and this…

Three ideas occurred to me today. Sometimes good ideas happen in the oddest of places like the supermarket.

I have asked Joe (Juggernaut) to lead a dialog with OJar members about potential visual metaphors (look-and-feel) for OJar if it had more topics. – How would the home page appear? – Navigation? – Colors? – Layout? – Visual Cues? If you have ideas please contact him. Thanks, Michael
