Art Gallery Photos
We run a small art gallery - it allows Roos and I the opportunity to talk with artists and to do our bit to get their work out there. Two things that are beginning to excite me about the gallery. The first is artists and photographers talking about it - Ryan has a long post […]
The Big Blogging Net
I’m curious how the massive multitude of bloggers becomes a smaller number of networks. I believe we can only understand blogging if we can get some sense of its shape so today - a lazy day hanging around in the gallery - I went looking for Chinese bloggers - necessarily writing in English! There is […]
Designing Ourselves into Trouble
Humans have an appetite for novelty coupled to a preference for the status quo. It’s a paradox that someone will no doubt one day conclude we’re born with; it’s in the DNA. In the spirit of pursuing our appetite for change I spent much of today talking with designers about how next year will […]
Picking up on yesterday
Yesterday I was figuring out in my own mind why I never seem to escape the corporate agenda in social media. It got me thinking in the early hours what types of bloggers are out there and what their strategy or orientation is. Most social situations can be understood if you can categorise and give […]
Where is Social Media Headed?
I have a very firm view that social media in its Facebook incarnation or in loose associations of people like Facebook won’t be sustainable. Here is a very personal experience. I have only ever had problems doing business with people I do not know, have no introduction to or cannot align myself with in some […]

I’m just visiting the big debates after having a few months blogging light. Google Knol. Stowe Boyd comes down in favour of the blogified knowledge repository. I come down against having to worry about google all over again. It seems to me the web is becoming far too diverse now to worry about any […]
Xing or Facebook
Checking through some group sites over the weekend I was left asking myself is Facebook a patch on Xing. Previously Open Business and now surely the largest business networking site, Xing has groups like the Hamburg Connection (10,000 member CSR Group); Sustainable Management Group, Helsinki Connection; all active.
Xing’s main drawback, interms of the […]
Power and People
Belatedly I picked up on this post by John Burg. it’s a fairly simple statement. Much of what we are striving for today - empowerment, was championed 30 years ago by John Lennon.
I find it utterly fascinating that these themes are reappearing now under the banner of heroes like Lennon.
My first assignment as a […]
Blognation
Difficult to know what went wrong with blognation. I admire various people who worked for it - Conor, a neighbour, for example. But here is some obituary.
I pulled this off Dan York’s comment pages after he gave BN a wave off:
“Thank you Dan. Yes, one thing that has been missed is the team Sam […]
