Creating a Culture of Collaboration – Part II

Several weeks ago, I posed a question to Mark Drapeau (@cheeky_geeky in Twitter) about tweet attribution and I was glad to see the variety of responses it generated. The question was prompted by something I tweeted and something he tweeted subsequently – which I’ve provided below. In Mark’s defense, I posted the original blog without …

Creating a Culture of Collaboration

This post is inspired by Dr. Mark Drapeau (aka @cheeky_geeky). In the business I work in, changing the culture of a community of people who do not have a history of sharing information freely isn’t easy.

My senses took a notice, of its continuous resurgence as northeasterlies often do, for the subtle winds that blow with ease repeat their acts elusively until you’re …

My SXSW All-Stars

Spying 2.0: What I will & won't be saying at SXSW

Tomorrow (Friday) I’ll be speaking at SXSW Interactive. I’ve never been to SXSW (yes, I’m a SWirgin) and I have no expectations. The truth is I’m not one of the people you see on the “panel circuit” – in general I prefer to listen and learn – and then assault panelists/speakers with my typical barrage …
