I’m giving a short presentation on the “future of Web 2.0″ at a CIO roundtable session in Chicago on May 12th. You can download the 14.2MB PDF version of the presentation:

Here’s an intriguing and provocative view of what “Web 2.0″ is all about…

It occurred to me, sometime this afternoon, that it would be really cool if I could show a live, real-time display of incoming Twitter messages during some presentations that I’m going to be giving about Web 2.0 technologies in Moscow and Rome this spring. I suspect that some of this would be so new, for […]

My old-fashioned, dead-tree version of the February 2008 issue IEEE Computer arrived this afternoon and I glanced at the cover to see what it was all about. The theme of the issue is “The Pervasive Web,” and I noticed that one of the highlighted articles was “Social Networking“, by Alfred C. Weaver and Benjamin B. […]

A couple days ago, I wrote about implementing some techniques for reducing e-mail distractions and interruptions, based on suggestions that I had found in Tim Ferriss‘ book, The 4-hour Workweek. I’m pleased to report that — at least so far — the techniques work. Significantly, none of the people who interact with me by email […]

I’ve been accumulating new Web 2.0 materials for the past week or so, and it’s time for an update. As usual, the new version is available to you in several different formats. If you’d like to see it as an (ugly Betty) Google Docs presentation, click here. And if you’d like to make additions, […]

If you’re over 40 years old, you probably remember at least some period of your adult life when there were no cell-phones. And unless you were an IT professional (e.g., a programmer, database architect, etc.), you also probably remember a period of several years where neither you nor anyone you knew had an e-mail address.
