Book Interview: Informal Learning
A while back I had the pleasure of speaking with Jay Cross, author of the brand new book, Informal Learning. It has been a while since he interviewed me and I had completely forgotten about it. But today a copy of the book showed up in the mail. I’m looking forward to digging into this [...]

uShip ‘The Office” Mocumentary
Smart, funny spoof of “The Office” for a company called uShip. It’s impressive how much you learn about the company without having to actually “learn” about the company or be sold to. Great stuff, once again proving not all viral successes are based on fo

What a day…
After a long (but not horribly long) night and a long day here at Casa Del Hospital, I’m finally taking a bit of down time to catch up on work and blogging. Bridget and I have stepped into the waiting room to get a better Wi-Fi signal and to give mom some incredibly much needed [...]

State of the Blogosphere thought
Reading the latest State of the Blogosphere today, something stuck out to me that I’ve not yet heard anyone talking about.
When you look at the Daily Posting Volume numbers, it’s interesting to see that whenever there’s a big spike in discussion (around Katrina, the London bombings, or Deepthroat being revealed, for instance), there’s also an [...]
Strategy is the Killer App
As more and more business rush into the social media space, I see less strategy and more action. Sometimes "just geting started" is a good thing, but typically jumping in feet first without any idea of how deep the water is results in clear and speedy failure.
I’ve always been struck by this quote from [...]

ChaCha Search - Connect and search with a live ChaCha Guide
This search engine is based on either standard search, or a connection to a real person who helps you find things. I’m not sure how this is going to play out, or how useful it will be after the novelty, but generally it’s an interesting [...]
Social media - the time has come
Lately I’ve found myself in the midst of a number of conversations talking about the early days of the internet. I was one of the people who saw the "utopian vision" that was the power of the internet almost as soon as I was introduced to it. With the way that social connection has been [...]
