There has been a fair amount written over the last couple years of corporation running public presentations and employee communication sessions in virtual world such as SecondLife. Some of the largest users have been IBM, Sun Microsystems and Cisco, however most fo this work seems to have been public type presentations. A couple of weeksContinue reading “Corporations in virtual worlds”

We need a red pill for the organisation
Yesterday I caved and went back to Twitter, yes I know I am weak but that is a whole other story. There was a conversation about the red vs blue pill in the Matrix, remember the red one you learn the truth while the blue one you go on living the lie. I got inspiredContinue reading “We need a red pill for the organisation”
What generation are you?
I have been posting a bit about the whole Generation debate/issue over the last few months, and so have a lot of people if the Google Trends graph is correct. One such post is Penelope Trunk’s on What generation are you part of, really? Take this test. Which basically states your generation is not 100%Continue reading “What generation are you?”
Always on connectivity and management
I wrote about hyperconnectivity a few days ago which is essentially a technology trend, but it is and will continue to have a profound impact on management both professional and personal. The basic issue is with everything always connected and communicating where does one draw the line? Let’s take the obvious examples, BlackBerry’s and personalContinue reading “Always on connectivity and management”
Hyperconnectivity and the Semantic web
This is another half thought out post where I am “throwing mud against the wall to see what sticks”. (Disclosure I work for Nortel, and they in no way support, or sponsor/endorse this blog, all the comments are personal.) One of the big trends Nortel, and others, see in the coming years is hyperconnectivity, whereContinue reading “Hyperconnectivity and the Semantic web”
Real cool technology
Two very cool things I found today. Google Map’s new Street View as a major source of distraction, the privacy issues with this are going to be huge, in the meantime it is very cool. The second was from Duncan Riley’s post on Techcrunch about Microsoft’s Surface Computer (I’m kind of behind on the techContinue reading “Real cool technology”
In the future we will…
I find futurists fascinating. From their wild ideas to which I think “no way” or their ideas which seems so obvious that I go “of course that will happen” they stretch my understanding of what the future holds. One such is Ian Neild who is visiting Australia at the moment to attend Borderless World Conference,Continue reading “In the future we will…”
Reflection
Nigel James reflects on 20 years since he left school with an invitation to his 20 year reunion back in Australia. Yes I agree Nigel a 13 hour flight is shorter than 26, but when you are in the middle of a 9 hour flight anything over 2 hours makes you feel like a sardine!Continue reading “Reflection”
How many people are online?
During the recent discussion on “Do You Need a Resume?” we were reminded that not everyone is online or knows how to find you online. Many people are still scared of technology, don’t understand it or are just plain ignorant of what can be achieved. (This is not just in the workplace many of ourContinue reading “How many people are online?”
Did You Know video follow up post
A couple of weeks I posted about a video called “Did You Know“, the video has done the rounds on blogs but few people (that I have seen) been able to point out the source. Today via SoulSoup I found the source of the video, the original presentation and the source documents for the statistics.Continue reading “Did You Know video follow up post”
