Sharing Knowledge and Staying Safe

What does ‘safe’ mean these days ? – none of us really know the direction that social media will take next and where our identity will appear. But the same sort of anxiety is being felt across the corporate world in terms of how can we share information quickly and effectively but maintain a boundry or ‘membrane’ with the outside world.

The purpose of a membrane is to allow ‘information’ to travel in both directions. In other words the question we need to ask is “How can we stay in intimate connection with the larger field of knowledge and maintain an ‘identity’ and ‘brand’ with respect to our own corpus of knowledge.

Bertrand Duperrin poses the question “Does enterprise 2.0 threaten your security ?

This is a core question – or should be – for people working in the field of knowledge management.  Of course we should also be mindful that wherever we are going , we are going to get there sooner than we think.




Uploading Your Brain

Raymond Kurzweil wants to up load your brain. Is this really the direction we want to be going in? http://bit.ly/YjHfc




Is It Time We ALL Woke Up to What Is Happening?

another couple of great sites – Social Earth

…..and Aveez.org

Browsing through these sites I realize I was only half awake and that our planet really IS in an awful lot of trouble. The first task appears to be that we ALL waken up.




Where is our home going ?

My wife and I just watched the movie ‘Home’ last night and it blew our minds. Not only is this a movie with some of the most spectacular footage of earth’s beauty but it also carries a very serious message. I dare you to watch this movie and not feel that it is definitely time we ‘woke up’ as a a species.

And speaking of waking up – I somehow missed this special day about that very thing : http://www.youtube.com/v/zWrstBidAXg&hl=en&fs=1&
