I still remember how surprised my friends and business colleagues were, roughly 15 years ago, when I told them that I had decided I had to devote an extra hour of work each day to go through all of my e-mail. “Why would you want to spend that much time dealing with something as irrelevant [...]

I’ll be presenting a two-day seminar on Web 2.0 in Rome next week (see the calendar in the blog side-bar, on the right, for details), so I’ve added a few more entries to my mind-map, resulting in a new version v030. As always, you can find the mind-map in the “downloads” section of my website, [...]

I’ve been pretty busy these past couple of weeks, with several business trips hither, thither, and yon. As a result, my blogging activity has slipped a bit; and my blog-reading activity has also fallen behind.

It’s been a few weeks since I last updated my Web 2.0 mind-map, and there have been some interesting developments, announcements, and new products. I still have several dozen articles, blog postings, and various other tidbits that need to be incorporated into the mind-map, but I’ve added enough new stuff that an update is warranted. [...]

I assume that you’ve seen this YouTube video already — after all, roughly 1.5 million people have downloaded it in the past few days. But if you haven’t — and if you’d like to see a hilarious mashup of Apple’s famous “1984″ commercial, together with a monotonous commentary by Hillary Clinton — here it is:

I stumbled upon something new and exciting a couple days ago, and while I don’t know enough about it to provide an authoritative report of any kind, I want to bring it to everyone’s attention, in the hopes that others can begin exploring it and help all of us learn more about it. In a [...]

A couple evenings ago, I had the opportunity to talk with roughly 150 members of Chicago’s C-SPIN (Chicago Software Process Improvement Network) and CQAA (Chicago Quality Assurance Association) about Web 2.0. Here’s a link to the CQAA website; here’s a link to the C-SPIN description of the evening’s meeting; here’s a link to a very [...]

In the good old days, I’d arrive at the airport half an hour before a flight was scheduled to depart — and I had friends who made a habit of rushing into the terminal five minutes before departure. If I had a suitcase to check, I’d give it to a friendly baggage porter at curbside, [...]

I’m back from a one-week vacation on the beach, and I’ve got some updates to my Web 2.0 mind-map. As always, you can find the mind-map in the “downloads” section of my website, or by simply clicking on this link to download the 8.73 megabyte PDF file. Here’s a summary of what I’ve added or [...]
