How a Nokia Mobile Data Gathering Tool Helps to Save Lives in Manaus Brazil

July 29, 2009

The topline story from my Brazilian visit can be told with two maps that show the impact Dengue had in 2008 vs the current year 2009.  Simply, the map is all red in 2008. One year later, the incidence of Dengue per 100k of population has declined dramatically. This is a significant change and one [...]

GoogleWave – read TimO’Reilly and “What would it be like if…???”

June 1, 2009

Tim O’Reilly’s Google Wave summary is as good as any I’ve seen. I loved his description below for it was exactly how I felt when I saw the demo. Since then I’ve seen more cautionary posts and comments. Yet this demo was as good for me as seeing David Gelertner’s post many many years (2001) [...]

Conversational “Bleeting” – The blog + tweet + ing = jazz conversations link

March 13, 2009

In 2003 I wrote a few posts on “Conversational Blogging“. Today my sentiments are similar yet the approach to conversational blogging has changed primarily facilitated by Facebook and Twitter. Today Twitter must be part of your blogging persona, to be successful and part of joining a “jazz community” Conversational Blogging (Unbound Spiral) (April 21, 2003) [...]

New Work – Ad Hoc Learning vs Work Skills

October 22, 2008

Had this thought today that I’d ask my Twitter followers what I should blog about tonight. I got some great challenges from VoIP to social media analytics and work! They are topics I must have an opinion on although potentially each is like crawling into a minefield. I’ve fortified myself with a glass of Cognac. [...]

Social Media or KM / KM or Social Media

September 23, 2008

I sat in earlier on a session on the Future of KM. There are three very different people on the panel. I’ve been listening with half an ear. This means what I write may have nothing to do with the context of the session. However, part of the reason we come to events like this [...]

What Happened to Twitter Tags & Groups etc?

May 28, 2008

Ton Ziljstra writes a recent post on Conversation Symmetry and Twitter. I’ve used much of his logic in managing my Twitter so far. However I’ve really fallen behind on “following” and must address that. Concurrently all the recent “twitter outages” affect how I view it and force me to double check the content is current. [...]

A few years ago my brother gave me a book Investment Biker. Written by Jim Rogers a VC who took a motorcycle on a tour of the world and then from what he learned made investment decisions. I think we’d both like to follow that dream and ride around the world that way. I know [...]

What’s Your iPhone Strategy? Speculation or Prediction

March 7, 2008

A few years ago the strategy question for anyone in and around communications was “What’s your Skype strategy?”. Last year just after the Facebook API was launched it was common practice to ask: “What’s your Facebook strategy?“. Today, you need answers to “What’s your iPhone strategy?”. I’ve got a few friends which I’ve passionately talked [...]

BlogTagging *8*8 – My Response to Luis

December 19, 2007

Luis Suarez is pushing me to follow his example and declare “Eight Things You Didn’t Know About Me”. I responded in Twittter that I would although that involves sharing more than I might normally on my blog. Tagging Bloggers always reminded me of the letters that go around asking you to send 10 more out. [...]

November 20, 2007

Twitter puts many things straight in front of you that you have already been thinking about. Marjolein Hoekstra of CleverClogs fame provided the alert to look at TweetChannel today. I got the invite this afternoon logged in and created a couple of channels. (One isn’t working Brand2.0 – probably the period in the code). I [...]

Getting Bloggers to Blog Your Conference

November 14, 2007

I’m digging into my “drafts” hopper today. This is one of those posts that was almost finished but never posted dated October 18th. This is the point where I really began thinking conference organizers need help working through the issue. At the time I just went “What!”. Oracle AppsLab » Bloggers at OpenWorld I’m happy [...]

Presenters Failing the Social Media Communications Test

November 13, 2007

I’ve been meaning to write a post about conferences, conference organizers and how they prepare for a social media world. I attended two conferences in the last week KMWorld and FutureVision. Both were inadequately prepared for social media. I use them only as an example, both were excellent events in their way and yet they [...]

Joh Husband – Wirearchy @ KMWorld07

November 9, 2007

I’ve known Jon Husband through his blog Wirearchy for years. Periodically, we talk, we seem to have a lot in common; beliefs, values, and frustration at why the world doesn’t get it. The world is wired. We are a networked society. We are going from hierarchy to wirearchy. This seems obvious to many of us, [...]
