Yesterday we looked at joint projects.
Today we will look at something plain and simple you can do that is truly powerful... assisting others.
It does not require the ability to craft brilliant widgets or contributing countless hours to a project.
It can be something as simple as pointing someone to a link.
That is what Nick at Longcountdown.com did for me.
I wanted to know where I could find a good comment notification plugin and he told me. I told some other bloggers about it, they told others and so on.
You can do the same. But how?
How can we better assist one another?
And on the other hand how can we let others know when we need assistance?
One thing that might be great for the Japan-related web is a 43things.com for Japan-enthusiasts.
You could list the things you would like to do (like "improve my blog's navigation," or something general like "learn keigo") and others could help you.
What do you think?

Nice Gaijin over at the Jref froum just made a really interesting comment on a thread I started about this series. He said:
What do you guys think? Is there some way to harness/form this kind of network and what is the best way to do that?
