The Story Factor
What Story Means To MarketingWe love stories more than facts.Stories are how we remember, relate, and share our lives.Stories touch emotionally and can influence the defensive.We are not rational beings.Narration is as much a part of human nature as breath and the circulation of the blood. – A.S. Byatt
Who I Am / Who We Are Story
Why I’m Here / Why We AreHere Story
They use the computer like me to communicate.  They also do other things that I do.The Vision Story
Values in Action Story

Google+ started with lists
Google understands threads and keeping conversations together.  I do think that Google+ is more suited for rapid communication over Twitter as it threads the whole discussion in one place, and also allows for longer responses.jeremiahowyang
