I have no idea how SEO works and maybe this question should be asked on Quora (though I predict the service is going down soon). I’m confused by the purpose of Twitter, where it concerns marketing vs. conversations vs. doing both. To me, Twitter is not an RSS-reader and I only have one RSS feed [...]
Postling is a meta social network—a network that tracks activities on other social networks, allowing its users, small businesses, to save time and get more data. It was developed by the makers of Etsy, which I love the idea of. Etsy represents the future of retail to me, one where every individual can exploit their [...]
I think a value should always be weighed against the value of not having it, particularly when it’s hard to put a numerical value on something. This something is clearly Facebook and even more clearly Twitter, which still doesn’t compute for 100%. Why I love Twitter would be like saying why I love my dog [...]
(attention, long vehicle) Anand’s article touched an explosive combination of decision+change management+money. It was inspiring indeed, and got me to write down two or three thoughts looking the M&A from inside a house. To write this piece, time popped-up by chance and bad luck in the same time. Nevermind why I found myself out of [...]
As most of us by now have heard about the tragic earthquake at Haiti, which took more than 1000 lives today. I am writing this blog to help people in Haiti, who might have lost almost every thing in their life. In this posting I am trying to enlist all possible website through which one can contribute [...]
If you are new to Twitter then it’s easy to get confused with so many twitter applications out there. Further, if you are a business user than you may have no time to do research on the applications. We really can’t deny the fact that businesses are testing out Twitter as part of their steps [...]
This post is partially motivated by my colleague(I hope he is not reading this) who spent all his Christmas and New year Vacations at home with his PC still running next to my desk. I am amazed to calculate how much electricity he just wasted. Well, you wouldn’t leave your television ON for all day while you are [...]
First of all, let me make clear that the title is a question and this post will give no answer. Second, if somebody has the answer, be my guest, will give you my credentials to edit. Third, the salmon can be both a gift (as in the semiotics of Umberto Eco) and lethal stinky arm-extension (as in [...]
(Hey, believe it or not, it’s Cecil again. Another translation from an original french post on Heavy Mental). One often refers to usages when talking about the advent of the collaborative web. In my opinion, this is an understatement which nurtures misunderstanding. The relationship developed by people with the collaborative web is much more of [...]
All organizations say Routinely ‘People are our greatest asset’. Yet few practice what they preach, let alone truly believe it. (Peter Drucker) Peter Drucker is the main theoretician of modern management. He was the first to define the Knowledge Worker, back in 1959. The excellent David Weinberger (one of the Cluetrain Manifesto terrorist) may call [...]
(Hi, it’s Cecil here. This is a translation of an original french post published on Heavy Mental). One of the most common misconceptions our managers make when they talk about Enterprise 2.0 is to reduce this approach to a mere web2zero (quote mark with the fingers) collaborative toolset. We can smile about it, but if [...]
A few months ago, I wrote to you about an experiment I was conducting regarding collecting videos from people that could not make it to a reunion I was organising for my high school. Out of the ca. 300 people that signed up to our Facebook group, only ca. 100 can make it in the [...]
To go from Atlanta to Athens you either drive (Athens, GA USA) or take a few planes (Athens Greece). If you belong to the second category you might feel a bit internet-sick and try to explore your options to connect. I was like a child in candyshop to discover that in the US you can [...]
Summer’s come around again, all my Facebook friends are teasing me with status-updates from some beach or other, and I, personally, feel like taking a break from blogging. So, as I’ve announced the third year in a row, this blog is teching it easy for the next few weeks/months. Some of us may feel the [...]
Yesterday evening I was cheerfully chatting with a friend, arranging meeting-up. – Friend : blah blah blah; – Georgia: blah blah blah; … when I saw my self posting a thing I couldn’t recognise having thought of. Neither remembering having thought in a previous conversation. chilllll. – Friend : are you nuts? why are you [...]
