Hi Kelly! Thanks a bunch for the link love and for helping out spreading the article around! I agree with you that we are witnessing some very exciting times in the area of KM or Knowledge Sharing, whatever term you would want to use. And I am surely glad to have you part of it as well. It is making things a whole lot more enjoyable, enlightening and educational. Specially, when I get asked by folks what's going on with Rational and its various products and guess where I am sending them all to ;-) Good stuff! By the way, I noticed yesterday your faved a Flickr picture I took from a URL from Martin Koser, well, not sure whether you found the overall context, but just in case you didn't ... subscribe (If you haven't done so already) to Ray Sims' blog and keep reading some of the fascinating stuff he has been writing about. An essential read for all KMers. No doubt! Thanks again for the feedback!

LOL!! And while reading this particular blog post I just cannot figure out what it is that me, as an Aquarian, always gets surrounded by Scorpions. Several members of my family are scorpions, some of my best friends are also scorpions and plenty of the colleagues / friends I hang out in various social networking tools are also scorpions. Boy, there must be something out there! I am sure!! Looks like Aquarians & Scorpions were born to be together hand in hand for a long while! hehe

Whooooaaaahhhhh!!! This is just AWESOME!! After having waited for so long to make it to the other side, finally Gia is here with us! You see, Gia? The waters are lovely, aren't they? It wasn't too bad, was it? heh It is great to see you over here!! Welcome to the Internet Blogosphere, where all the fun happens!! :D I think this very well deserves some kind of link love!! ... Coming up, Gia! Oh, and not sure whether you wanted to go for it just yet or not, but you may head over to http://www.ibm.com/blogs and register your blog there ;-) Keep blogging and keep having fun, Gia!

How about starting to move the public (or Publicly oriented) conversations away from e-mail and into whatever the various social software tools available out there that may be common to both parties exchanging e-mails? I have been doing that at work for the last three weeks and so far it has been working really well. So much so that I am starting to apply the same principles to my non related work e-mails... and have reduced quite considerably the number of e-mails I receive on a daily basis...

hehehe, hey, I want to join the party as well! Going to be one of my fave numbers, #33... Happy birthday, Kelly! One step closer to the 50 comments for the birthday post! Hope you are having a good time and taking some time off to enjoy it quite a bit! All the best and many more to come! (And that we all get to see them!) :D

hehe and while some of us are working today, others are enjoying a lovely long weekend to celebrate a massive birthday party! Ha! That's not fair! :-P hehe Have a good one, Simon!

Hi Simon! Happy Birthday! Hope

Hi Simon! Happy Birthday! Hope you are having an easy day and getting ready for those beers later on tonight! May I wish you many many more to come and that we all get to see them! Have a good one and keep the party going! Just a couple of days more for the weekend! :-)

Hi Dennis! Woooohooo! Nice wrap up post with some really good input, indeed. And regarding your comments about IBM perhaps putting up that study I may take your word on it. I will probably have a look and see if there would be a specific group that conducts this kind of studies and see if they would want to put one up together. I am sure it would be really really interesting. Will keep you posted. By the way, you will be happy to read that thanks to disappointing news articles like the one we linked to I am just about to re-open my FB account. Who would have thought, eh? heh Stay tuned...

Woooohooo! Congratulations, De

2007-09-10T12:52:44.333+02:00

Woooohooo! Congratulations, Dennis! This is certainly some serious achievement! I only got to know you a bit better in the last few weeks, but have been following your blogs and they are now an essential daily read to me and anyone who wants to find out some more on what's happening in the industry. So, as far as I can see, keep up the superb piece of work! And here is to another 5 years of some serious blogging! Congrats again, Dennis! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to keep thinking ahead of the curve!

2007-09-03T18:28:06.721+02:00

I think another good title for this weblog post would be something like "Pownce Offers New Features, Still No Proper RSS Feeds". Despite the fact that Pownce keeps adding more and more new features some of the very basics from any Web 2.0 application are just missing: RSS / Atom feeds. Yes, I do know you have got the Public RSS feed, but that is what I meant with "proper". A feed for every single type of notifcation you are getting already directly via e-mail, and a universal feed for your own profile. Unless Pownce provides some of that basic functionality, we would just continue to make use of "other" tools, even if they are not as powerful as Pownce could well be. Just my two cents...

Hi Dennis! I have just created a follow up blog post regarding your comments above, and although I haven't touched much on the subject of making extensive use of the MBP as my default work machine I thought I would share a couple of thoughts in here as well. Yes, indeed, I am hooked to the Mac from day one, and I doubt there would be a way back any longer. I am surely enjoying the experience! But at the same time, I was also enjoying, and quite a bit, my Lenovo Windows machine. What has torn apart my 100% allegiance for Lenovo is the fact that the Lenovo 3000 N100 broke the LCD display after only one year and three weeks of user, when previous IBM ThinkPads would last me for over 3 years! And all of that after only three weeks of expiring the guarantee. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? So I thought I would give it a try and for the Mac and see if I could make extensive use of it as a business machine for my day to day work and the first few days it has been working all right. I will just have to wait and see if Iwould be able to say the same thing when the guarantee expires in one year from now. I surely hope so. Fingers crossed. Appreciated the kind comments as well, and we surely need to finish off that conversation regarding Lotus Notes, but not to worry, I will give you some tips on it, once it goes gold and I try it out on the Mac. I bet that would be the ultimate experience and for several various reasons, but more on that in its due time... Notes 8 supposed to go GA this week! ;-)

2007-07-27T14:14:56.595+02:00

Great post, James, and along the lines of something that seems to be emerging at the moment as well within the area of Knowledge Management or Knowledge Sharing. If you take that social media on its own is one of the areas of focus from knowledge sharing, then I think that open source and KM share a whole bunch of commonalities that not many people have been identifying thus far. However, folks like Knowledge Management Online (KM Online Open Source KM) would certainly provide you with the connection between open source and KM, and with social media, for that matter. I just wish more people would realise about how closely connected are open source and knowledge sharing in the working environment and how open source has contributed tremendously in changing some of the main key paradigms behind KM, i.e. collaboration, conntent management, expertise location, social media, etc. So, to me, social media and OSS are very much closely related, indeed! Now we need tokeep spreading the message about it!

2007-07-25T16:30:36.905+02:00

Hi Simon! Excellent stuff! Thanks much for helping spread the message around on what Mareike is doing regarding corporate blogging. I am sure that this is one of those research papers that will clearly define where we are in the corporate world and, much more importantly, where we need to be. So thanks again for spreading the word around!

Hi Susan! Thanks much for addi

2007-06-11T01:02:59.570+02:00

Hi Susan! Thanks much for adding further up into the discussion. Lots of great stuff in here! "I know my Mom taught me a long time ago these are things we do NOT discuss in polite company (!)" Yes, indeed, your mom is a wise woman, I tell you, heh. Right, that is exactly what I meant. Those who know me in real life know that I have got very strong opinions on a number of different subjects, i.e. politics, religion and sports, so I have always felt it is kind of hard of letting those opinions out in the loose and get a message across without getting some more controversy along those lines. In most cases the chances are they would create more trouble than help out. So I have always managed to stay away from them. Regardless. If someone would want to know what I would think about those they would have to wait till we meet up in real life and then I tell you, you would be able to see where I am coming from ;-) hehe I certainly agree with your comments about transparency and, of course, I agree with it big time! I have been blogging for about four years now and in all that time it has become a constant principle of mine to be transparent in what I would have to share, if I would want to build up longer, more trustworthy relationships. But it is also true that I appreciate my own privacy in such an public world like the Internet is today. And like I mentioned above, there are some things you would want to share and others where you would want to keep them private. And still be transparent about the whole thing. I wish I would be able to make it to Enterprise 2.0, but, unfortunately, I am not sure I would be able to. Other conflicts are on the way, but one thing for sure is that whenever we get a chance to meet face to face we would be looking into this blog post and enjoy that diversity and digital democracy you mentioned above. Can't wait for that to happen!

2007-06-09T14:09:00.465+02:00

Hi Susan! Thanks much for the plug and the kind comments. And for sharing such an interesting blog post on a somewhat controversial topic: i.e. online privacy. While I have been reading your blog post, I must confess that to me it is not an issue to be afraid of Facebook nor of IBM for that matter (hehe, at least, the latter I know it a little bit!). To me it is a question of principles. The reason why I am not on Facebook just yet and, why if I ever get to it I would have a rather empty profile, is because the type of questions to build up my profile are on subjects that for a number of years I have decided never to share in an online space. Examples like religion, politics, for instance, are stuff that for someone may sound rather trivial and very willing to put forward. In my case, they are not. Perhaps because of my opinions on both. So when confronted with a profile page asking me those questions, it just puts me off right away, because I feel that's none of their business to know stuff that I have decided long time ago to just keep it for real life. If people would want to know somemore on those subjects they would have to wait till we meet face to face. Online I learned my lessons many years ago and they just create more trouble than help out: politics, religion and sports, of course! And what is the point of having a Facebook profile if most of the fields are empty? Errr, none, in my view. And why ever since I bumped into it many many moons ago it clearly reminded me of Orkut, which is the reason why I have stayed from it all along as well. You know me already quite well, and probably realise that I am quite open to a whole bunch of stuff and share that on the Internet, but there are some subjects that should remain for real life and if an online app. is asking for them they are going to repeatedly get the same answer from me. So yes, I may eventually join Facebook, but be prepared to see an empty one ;-) heh

WOW! Fantastic pictures ! Than

2007-03-28T19:50:49.401+02:00

WOW! Fantastic pictures ! Thanks much for sharing them with us! I must say that Guayadeque is one of my favourite spots in Gran Canaria to spend some time with plenty of peace and quiet. And all that mixed with some stunning landscapes ! Anyone who may come to Gran Canaria and not pay a visit to Guayadeque just doesn't know what they are missing. Perhaps those lovely pictures would help a bit in enticing folks to check it out! So thanks again for posting them! Really nice!

Hi Susan! Thanks ever so much

2007-03-16T03:31:10.101+01:00

Hi Susan! Thanks ever so much for sharing such a wonderful and kind post. I must say that I can relate to the stuff you mentioned above. Those exact same things are the same ones that make me proud of working for IBM as well after 10 years and for keeping the challenge going. Specially in such exciting times as nowadays where social computing finally seems to be making the waves into large corporations, like IBM. I must say that I enjoyed quite a bit the link to Vinnie's weblog entry as I can relate to it a bit as well. Yes, the adult version ;-) heh So thanks for those kind comments as well. I am glad you have enjoyed the podcast and stay tuned because over the course of the following few months I shall be sharing some of the exciting things that are going on inside IBM in the social computing and innovation space. @ Maggie, LOL ! That would be another one to be added to the list. There are just so many of them that I lost count! And despite that things keep moving along, so I would not be surprised that it would eventually change. Or, at least, try to. We shall see. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to podcast with you! That was some really good fun!

Hi Julio César! Thanks a lot for dropping by and for the feedback comments ! Yes, indeed, "Mon Dieu!" Welcome to the club of those of us who have changed the way we approach things after watching through that video! It surely makes you figure out what matters and how you would need to prioritise some stuff as time goes by. Being flexible and adapt takes a new meaning, for sure, don't you think?

Yes, that is very true, Simon,

2007-02-15T20:41:30.350+01:00

Yes, that is very true, Simon, and that is the beauty about the whole thing, the fact that there are options and plenty of them! That way, it would be up to teams, communities, i.e. knowledge workers, in the end to decide which one they would want to go for that meets up their needs and requirements. And since there would be three different options to go for it just makes things a bit more interesting and worth while investigating further.

2007-02-15T20:38:58.955+01:00

Hi Simon ! Yes, Asturias is a lovely place with some really nice things ("Sidra" and "Fabada", amongst others) and some spectacular landscapes! Not to forget the nice people, too ! :-D RE: The Lotus Greenhouse, not to worry, whenever I may be able to share some more information about it I shall certainly let you know about it ! I know where your blog is now ;-) Thanks again for the feedback!

Hi Simon! I have just been checking out some of the different weblog entries you have created around this very same subject of Lotus Connections and Lotus Quickr and I have found this one as well. Apart from what my colleague James has mentioned already I think I could add that the main different between the blogging component from Quickr and Connections is in the audience for which they have been created. The blogging capability from Quickr is actually meant for the team to have a group blog managed by the team and with the visibility of just the team. So something along the lines of providing a blogging environment for a restricted group of people and managed by that same group of people, whereas the blogging component from Connections is more down to putting together a blogging platform on an enterprise level where every knowledge worker can have their own blogs and searchable by the corporate search engine. So the scope is a lot wider with Connections than with Quickr. Hope that helps clarify things a bit. If not give me a shout ;-)

Appreciated the feedback and t

2007-02-14T02:21:03.563+01:00

Appreciated the feedback and the trackback, Simon. Thanks a lot for dropping by and for helping spread the message around! Actually, I don't think that you would need to wait for a long while before you may be getting that invite ;-) Stay tuned for some further updates... because there may be something coming along the way very soon ! (Oh, and I just noticed that you live in a place which is not that very far from the place where I was born and raised. Excellent!)

Hi Kelly ! Thanks ever so much

2007-01-31T12:39:41.694+01:00

Hi Kelly ! Thanks ever so much for the comments! Yes, indeed, that nasty bug seems like it is withdrawing slowly but steadily. I am feeling much better today, although I still have got the odd feeling here and there. So hopefully, it will be completely over pretty soon! I look forward for the time when we would present again for the QSE group on blogging. I was really excited about it all before the bug hit me so I am hoping we would be able to do it pretty soon. Look forward to it! Good luck with the one on web 2.0 for the GreaterIBM group! I may be able to join it if time permits, although right now things are a bit tight, but we shall see. I am sure you would be doing fine in your world tour update! Cheers!

¡Hola Manuel! Por fin, he podido sacar un poco de tiempo para poder comentar algo en este post. Ya he colgado mis primeras impresiones sobre el evento y lo cierto es que ¡ya tengo ganas de ir al siguiente! A ver cómo se desarrolla el taller sobre el podcasting y seguro que nos vemos allí el 10 de marzo. ¡Un saludo! ¡Y nos vemos pronto! (¡Y gracias de nuevo por la oportunidad de conocer a otros gofiosferos!)
