In this world the human can go to Places that they are a member of by invitation or ownership (any human can set up any number of Places for free and invite members to join their place). Every Place, upon creation, is equipped with the Connect App enabling "Connect"ion with other members of the Place via artifacts like Topics, Elections, Shared Checklists, a Shared Calendar, Files and Templates). Within each place, members can collaborate privately, where all communications are encrypted... more secure than email.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="https://twiki.bluecollarobjects.com/pub/BlueCollar/HowIUseBlueJeanTime/backpocketReducedsize.png" alt="backpocketReducedsize.png" width="98" height="98" /> Every <a class="twikiLink" href="https://twiki.bluecollarobjects.com/bin/view/BlueCollar/BlueJean">BlueJean</a> Time member has a Back Pocket which is with you as you navigate from place to place. This Back Pocket gives you access to all of your stuff. You can update your profile settings... decide if you want email notifications or to get notifications from your Back Pocket only. The Back Pocket Global Feed gives you a view of activity occurring across all the places you are a member of and in one click you can look at the specific activity and take action (activity could be an update to one the artifacts like Topic, Election, Checklist, Calendar Event or File). In short, you can reach into your Back Pocket and find out what is going on in the different facets of your business and personal life and access each facet in a simple but secure way.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h2><a name="What_can_I_do_now"></a><a name="_What_can_I_do_now_"></a><a name="What_can_I_do_now"></a>What can I do now?</h2> <ul> <li>I may choose to initially enter as a guest and browse through some topics in the BlueJean Time community.  I will not be able to update anything as a guest.   To see desciption of how to use the platform go <a href="BlueJeanController.do?delegate=BaseExtendedForumEditScreenController&referenceId=E!X449ae2b782be0b33&appName=Connect&placeId=E!Xcd5570376ad7e1b1">here</a>.</li> <li>Register on the home page (www.bluejeantime.com)</li> <li>Create a Place using the "Create Place" on the Places menu</li> <li>Invite Members to my Place using the icon with a "+" to the left of a human head towards the top center of the browser window</li> <li>Create a Topic</li> <li>Give the Topic and name and fill out the body of the topic with my content</li> <li>Save the Topic</li> <li>Encourage members of my Place to collaborate on that topic by clicking the notify icon (gray human head with a bell) on the toolbar at the top of the main pane (also called Shonna Stick, named after the developer who created it) and picking members to be sent a notification when the topic is updated.</li> <li>Generate an election from the responses in the Topic if the topic is about making a decision (like when to have a phone conference or which is the best option for raising money for my idea...) by clicking the Create Election link, toward the middle of the page, near the Add Response button</li> <li>Generate a checklist (by clicking the Create Checklist link, toward the middle of the page, near the Add Resonse button) and assign work to different place members</li> <li>Update the place calendar with events relevant to your place members (any member can also add events to the calendar)</li> <li>There is no limit to the amount of private places that can be created for communities of interest to collaborate and get work done... for free.</li> <li>Create a Topic in <a class="twikiLink" href="https://twiki.bluecollarobjects.com/bin/view/BlueCollar/BlueJean">BlueJean</a> Time (by using Places dropdown to Return to the Community) which is public to the world, so you can write a blog article and have the world hear your thoughts</li> <li>Use all of this work collaboration power on your Desktop/Laptop, Tablet or Smart Phone.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><br />The responses to this topic contains stories of how different humans use BlueJean Time to simplify their lives... enable them to team up with friends, coworkers, strangers... to do good and useful things.  The hope is that it will give others ideas on how to work together.</p> <p> </p>
