Round up of Second Life Seminar
The lesson for me from IT@Cork was that business is being moved by the actions of your average programmer and user - guys out of work at the dot.com’s end setting up blogs, guys using them. I put this to IBmers. I asked how important is blogging to your customers? The answer was it is […]
More on Second Life Seminar
The discussion has mostly been about making Second Life work better and interoperate with other virtual worlds. It feels like the interminable discussions bloggers have about ethics and how best to blog.
IBM Second life Seminar
I’m in IBMs IQ part of Second Life right now discussing with jurnalists and IBMers what Life II has to offer. The standard of discussion is not that enlightening. I found it far better yesterday at IT@Cork listening to people talk about how the casual, average user is where business has to target its interest. […]
IT@Cork
Just heard Marc Canter of broadband mechanics talking here at @IT@Cork which is a bit of deja vu because I heard him in Amsterdam a couple of months back. Marc’s a big advocate of blogging as a corporate marketing vehicle and of People’s Markets.
I sense dangers here. There is an assumption that blogging costs nothing, […]

Cap Digital - A Little More of that European Web 2.0
Cap Digital is an initiative for knowledge based and content companies in the Ile de France and it has some good ideas. It “articulates a new industrial vision for the Greater Paris Region, popularly and locally known as Ile-de-France or IDF which ranks as one of Europe’s top two business metropolitan hubs.”
The cap Digital […]
Last FM
Last FM got some good coverage at the the Content 2.0 conference so I went over to take a look. The question upper most in my mind with social media is will it work outside music and movies? Music has had such a powerful impact across the web driving MySpace and no doubt soon driving […]
The Beginnings of A Content Virus?
This is interesting. A blog with no beginning, middle or end but just a post about two other blogs trying to repplicate the Lonely Girl phenomenon.
“I have been following the artificial battle between the West Hollywood Girls (WeHoGirls) and North Hollywood Girls (NoHoGirls) on YouTube. The original plot line was that Leah cheated on her […]
