I was kicking off the two-day workshop with a broad presentation on the future of business, while Damien Giurco, Research Director at University of Technology Sydney's Institute for Sustainable Futures , would speak later on 'Cities as the mines of the futu

I’ve used Drupal to power my blog since I started it over 2 years ago. It has been a bitter sweet relationship, but in general I’ve been pleased. In those two years, WordPress as a product has rocketed past Drupal, and feels much more mature. While Drupal 7 should level the field a bit, it’s a ways away and WordPress 3.0 is already here.

The sexual life of ideas: flirtation, promiscuity, procreation, and seminal creativity but no virgin births

Trends in the Living Networks

Here's a brief excerpt from Chapter 1 of Living Networks on the sexual life of ideas - I've always had a good response to this and it remains a relevant metaphor :-). Ideas don't like being alone. In fact they like copulating promiscuously with any other idea in sight. There is no such thing as a virgin birth in the world of ideas. Ideas are always born from other ideas: interacting, mating, and procreating.

Chief Seattle Greek Blog

'Government 2.0. The whole two-dot-oh thing seems so “contrived”. Like a marketing gimmick. Or selling the “new improved” laundry soap, that is, the “new, stickier, more connected, web”. Yet there is a kernel of truth here, not so much in the technology but in the fabric of our society. It is Society 2.0. First of all, I’m not coining the term Society 2.0.

Goodbye to the weekend?

I saw a quote on a discussion board recently in a conversation about telecommuting and taking care of personal business during work time: If they want me to answer my email at night and on the weekends, they shouldn’t have a problem with me making personal calls or email during the day. One of the recurring themes in Seth Godin’s latest book, Linchpin, is the idea that the way to succeed in the future is to move away from factory work – of all kinds, either physical or intellec

Scaling up with social media: luxury brands have a natural advantage.

Leveraging Organizational Knowledge

Jeremiah Owyang recently did a presentation on how companies can scale up with social media technologies. Do read it. His starting observation is that customers (let alone prospects) will always outnumber a company's total workforce (let alone the ones formally responsible for customer relationships). Since social media puts companies in "direct" contact with a growing number of people, they are in danger of counter-productive social media initiatives leaving most customers or prospects frustrat
