Another Strata Blogger at Strata101

As I’ve been exploring the world of blogs, wikis, Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter I’m finding other like minded people who are blogging about strata.

One of the most interesting and definitive about things in strata is in Canada called Strata101.

In her latest blog called Strata CircleJerk Strata 101 talks about the challenges of ignorance and disproportionate power in strata saying “it is quite obvious most owners DON’T know what they are doing, DON’T care to change that particular situation and DON’T want to question the council or the property management for fear of either reprisal or responsibility. That’s three DON’Ts for a hat trick!”

Strata101 also describes the situation in most strata corporations as a circlejerk.

So, what’s a circlejerk? The Urban Dictionary gives a few definitions including –

When a bunch of blowhards - usually politicians - get together for a debate but usually end up agreeing with each other's viewpoints to the point of redundancy, stroking each other's egos as if they were extensions of their genitals (ergo, the mastubatory insinuation). Basically, it's what happens when the choir preaches to itself.

And, maybe Strata101 is right.

So why not follow Strata101 ?  I am.
