How do you read all that stuff?

I’m often asked by friends, family and colleagues how I keep track of all the different sorts of things I’m interested in online.

In the past, good…

Performance management and wikis

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:47:57 -0400

I want to blog about wikinomics, Clay Shirky’s “Here comes everybody”, and Performance Management - specifically around “What were they thinking?”

Isn’t it insane to judge me about how I’m better than everyone else in my cohort - and expect me to share?

You try and motivate me with money - and then are surprised that I waste my time gaming the system?

Lots of clever people have said this is a bad idea - so why do we keep making the mistakes?

My management say “Let us know the obstacles…”

How about the performance management system you expect us to waste 10% of our time on - at least 4 times a year…

RSS blog post

I think I need to talk about RSS

what it is - because, of course, not everyone knows.
how to read it - ditto
what I read

I think Alltop needs a good mention, too.

Social Media reading

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:34:52 -0400

Social Media reading:

You mean like - books?

Yes, I do mean books. Since I’ve started playing with the what social networking/social media might mean to me, I’ve bought more non-fiction books in the last 3…

How to use social media?

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:52:15 -0400

How to use social media?:

How to deal with multiplicity?
I’m deeply puzzled - not that this is at all unusual.
There are lots of social media tools, and many of them link to each other. Like quite a lot of…

Data Portability - Data Ownership

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:33:26 -0400

Data Portability - Data Ownership:

having seen Robert Scoble’s latest post on Facebook’s rant about dataportability problems I thought it might be necessary for me to try and hone my understanding a bit.

I have data on A S…

Future blog postings

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:35:24 -0400

One of the the things I’m trying to do is to record future ideas for blog posts.

One of them is to work out how best to use the various social media tools:

twitter, pownce, jaiku - and even tumblr and then to intergrate them into a lifestream -friendfeed, onaswarm, or lifestrea.ms

Maybe I’ll use tumblr to record these ideas - and aggregate them elsewhere.

Feeding twitter into jaiku and pownce and the lot into facebook probably isn’t best.

Building strong professional communities through Performance Mgt & HR initiatives:

Twitter - what it is, and how I use it.:

I was chatting IRL with a valued colleague whose catholic spread of knowledge I enjoy greatly, and he told me he was finding his way round twitter. I said something dismissive like “Well, I…

Windows Live Writer

Windows Live Writer:

I’ve played with a variety of clients before, and never found myself hugely committed to any of them. Having noticed a tweet by @dahowlett where he suggested it was the best blog editor on the planet, I’ve decided to give this a try.

If you’re interested, it can be found at the Live services site.

From home, I’m never offline, so it’ll be a while before I try that out.

Ownership of Social Networks? or the data we give them?

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:00:12 -0500

Ownership of Social Networks? or the data we give them?:

Following a couple of interesting tweets on Twitter, I started following Brian Kelly and, as usual had a look to see if his blog was interesting. It is, and I’ve joined in with his Pownce experimenting - you can find me here.

One of his latest posts touched on ownership of social networks asking:

Who should own the social networks?

Should ownership of social networks be any different from other software services we use in our institutions (including VLEs such as…
