06.04.08PubCamp - the future of media on the WebEntrepreneur, Jed White, and his company itechne are putting together two PubCamp events; one each in Sydney and Melbourne. I had been hoping to be able to attend at least the Sydney event. But now, I'm able to attend both as I've been asked to present at them on the subject of participatory culture and media. Pretty much right up my alley. My talk, Slouching Toward Intertwingularity will examine: ...the power of participatory culture, particularly in its online sense, has returned power to the hands of the individual. We now have the ability to access or distribute almost any information at any ...

05.28.08socialmedian focussed news (and another Web 2.0 good guy)Here's another good news tale of a social application that reached out to me to see if I would be interested in taking a look at their offering. that service is socialmedian. Their CEO, Jason Goldberg, reached out and asked if I could take a deeper look at the site as I had tweeted that I was struggling to get value. He offered to help, and we've been chatting since. socialmedian are a very new (they fully admit to being in alpha and are very feature incomplete) social news gathering service that aims to provide you with targeted news based on ...

Here's the opening couple of paragraphs: Canberra-based knowledge economy and social computing evangelist Stephen Collins heard a quote earlier this year that perfectly describes the Enterprise 2.0 dilemma: "If you want to find out what tools your staff are finding most useful at ...

04.14.08KM should just beUPDATE - I've added some more thoughts. I couldn't help myself. There's a really interesting discussion on KM and 2.0 tools going on over at the FASTForward blog. I've managed to get myself involved and am probably preaching a little KM heresy. I personally think KM need not be an identified, explicit practice in organisations. It should just be. Now, I'm a realist. I know that many organisations don't yet operate this way. But they should. Here's my latest input to the thread. "I absolutely agree with you that anything 2.0 is not about the technology. Technology is and always has been ...

03.25.08The firehose that is lifestreaming appsI'm finding I have much the same response to these apps as Jevon expresses at his excellent blog, socialwrite. I see the usefulness. I want to share and consume. But the sheer firehose of data as soon as you exceed a certain number of friends is truly overwhelming and the signal is lost in the noise. Apps like FriendFeed are in their infancy and are showing significant early promise. They really do let you tap the vein of amazing data coming out of the applications your friends and colleagues choose to share. Unfortunately, at the moment, there's no filter in there to ...
