A nice descrip­tion of par­tic­i­pa­tion prin­ci­ples in online com­mu­ni­ties. I’m for­ever re-​​describing this to new peo­ple, so hav­ing it avail­able at the end of a mouse click is awesome!

Inter­est­ing arti­cle about a poten­tially even more inter­est­ing study. I’d like to get a hold of it. Obvi­ously, the read­ers are not online engagers as their com­ment can largely be sum­ma­rized as “kids these days have no com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills”.

Great piece in the NYT about the use of Twit­ter and sim­i­lar tools in busi­ness. Worth reading.

Good look at some of the unwrit­ten rules for using Twit­ter for those join­ing after the early adopters.

My friend Donna gives her very well-​​considered and very use­ful views on how to make your pre­sen­ta­tions better.

As much pre­sent­ing as I do, I have vast room for improve­ment. Donna’s points are get­ting printed out!

Ba. Yes.
