Over on my Fast Company Experts blog, I have issued a challenge.
Here is what I wrote:
I have come to the conclusion that most (maybe all) business and strategy books are useless. They over-generalize. They offer little value. I go in with such high expectations, based on reviews and descriptions, and am almost universally disappointed.
For [...]

The Swine Flu is big news… and for good reason.  This potentially deadly strain – a mix of pig, bird, and human viruses – is spreading across the globe.  More cases are being reported every hour it seems.  Health experts don’t seem to have much to offer in terms of definite information.  Fear and uncertainty [...]

We Media’s Brian Reich and I were wondering, based on the Game Changer Award winners, what would be the attributes that would not only win today’s Pitch It! presenters some of the available funding, but also see them be the Game Changers a couple/few years from now.

On Friday, the Hearst Corporation announced that it was putting the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the older of Seattle’s two daily papers, up for sale.  If a buyer is not found within 60 days (57 and counting…) then the paper will cease its print production.  The prospects of finding a buyer, according to analysts, is slim and [...]

It’s rare that a blog post is so personal, or powerful, or relevant, or honest, or dignified… whatever that special quality is… that it re-defines the whole medium for me. But it happens.

This spring we noted the launch and alpha testing of SocialMedian, a new link aggregator that five months ago looked something like a more social version of delicious or Diigo. It has been undergoing continuous development since then – and the newest release should be especially noteworthy for bloggers, researchers, journalists, marketers and activists. If [...]

I’m trying to speed up my blogging – and here, ta-da, I’m writing my first post with a Firefox extension called ScribeFire Blog Editor. It isn’t new – it’s been downloaded more than 1.7 million times. But it’s new for me. I’ve long heard about Flock, a browser that’s supposed to be great for bloggers. [...]
