I’m not really going to here, either, but I do want to toss out some recent thoughts and see what resonates with you, so these are mini- blogs (not microblogging): Given the rate of change of things these days, and the need to empower learners to go beyond just what is presented (moving from training to education, in a sense), I think we need to go further to facilitate the transition from ‘dependent’ learning to independent and interdependent learning, as my colleague Harold Jarche so nicely puts it.

read this paper a long time ago and was blown away, and never got round to blogging about it. Mark Gould has got me in the mood as he recently blogged about the same paper.

As I explained in my last post, all you need is to take a little care and time over what you say in all those emails, blogs , wikis, forums, IM conversations, status updates and so on — to make sure you’re expressing yourself the way you intended. The web is full of blog posts that say nothing, articles that have no proper ending, and generally disjointed thoughts mashed into chunks we call “content” but would more accurately be described as “filler.” If you’re going to spend your career dealing in text — the currency of most online communication — you might be interested in upping your ability to express yourself, specifically your written communications skills

I’ve approached many business owners in recent months to ask them to be guests on my blog , podcast and radio show. In many of the cases, I convince them to start with an interview for the blog , and if they feel comfortable moving on to the podcast or radio show from there, great, but if not, at least they’ll get the traffic from the article.

Introducing Google Buzz (Official Google Blog ) Presented By: So Google went and did it – it integrated a whole mess of social and local features into Gmail, wrapping the whole thing into a product burrito it calls Buzz (Yahoo has got to be fuming , if it has any more fumes left, that is).

Mostly only a few people will see these presentations of ourselves, but some will go, as they say, “viral”, and draw all kinds of unexpected attention. No one can predict how people on the web will react to stories and pictures of individuals, whether by yawning and ignoring, or by obsessing and commenting, but it is clear that the presentation of a person on the web can have a profound impact on their lives.

The folks at Aardvark have posted an ambitious paper over on the ‘vark blog . Titled after Brin and Page’s original “Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine” , the paper presents the Aardvark engine and, in its authors’ words: “describes the fundamental differences between the traditional “Library” paradigm of web search — in which answers are found in existing online content — and the new “Village” paradigm of social search — in which answers arise in conversation with the people in your network.” I have read most of the paper, which has been accepted at WWW Brought to you by: Work Literacy

As of today, according to the LinkedIn Blog , users of the popular career-oriented social network can rearrange the order in which elements appear in a member’s profile — the page on the site that displays information about one’s background. In the past, profiles have been structured like standard résumés, with elements appearing in fixed order: a header, a text summary, optional applications like blog links, experience, education, recommendations, and an “additional information” section with web links, awards and such. Now, when you click on “Edit Profile,”you’ll see a four-way arrow to the left of the section names.
