“Read the whole article for the arguments of choosing to discuss things in public rather than in private… People prefer personal spaces: it feels more comfortable,†fast†and easy to ask personally, to have documents on your local drive or to search your inbox for copies of†corporate reports… Think of e-mail.

“New research has shown that multi-tasking is counterproductive. Knowledge workers typically bang away at their word processors, answer phones, talk to colleagues all pretty much at once, but they may be wasting hours every day by trying to do too many things at once. So how are we meant to deal with information overload then? Dealing with one task at a time isn’t particularly flexible. Well, the flipside of multi-tasking is interruption, and thankfully someone in the United States Navy is taking interruptions seriously.”

The full title was ‘Making sense of weblogs in the intranet: What they are, why people are using them, making them useful for knowledge management.’ I talked about weblogs inside my company, their use in knowledge management, and how my organization is hoping to make them usable for enterprise knowledge work if the number of blogs in the company increases significantly.” By Michael Angeles.
“When it first appeared in 2001, the Thinkers 50, the first ever global ranking of business thinkers, provoked debate, disappointment and delight in equal measure. It attracted votes, opinions and media coverage from throughout the world. We were amazed by the response. The Thinkers 50 2003 provides a completely new ranking, the definitive guide to which thinkers and ideas are in ó and which have been consigned to business history.”
“With all the hype at the coming of web commerce, web sales still pale in comparison to bricks-and-mortar, and for good reason. Commercial websites are still, in the main, scary, difficult, and undependable. Responsibility for many e-commerce problems lies with designers. Responsibility for others lies with engineers, marketers, managers, and executives who are willing to accept mediocrity or worse.”
“I’ve noticed a lot of talk about Powerpoint lately. About how it’s so terrible and how it enables awful presentations. But the problem isn’t Powerpoint, of course. The problem is bad content delivered poorly. I speak for a living, and hear lots and lots of presentations at the conferences I attend. Here are some notes I wrote up for someone who is about to give his first ever public presentation.”
