Enterprise 2.0 Evangelist

For MediaWiki fans: A colleague noticed that when entering search terms in WikiPedia it is auto suggesting as you type. This is a massive enhancement as often you need to search an exact term/title to retrieve the desired results.

I’m hoping this is being rolled into the general MediaWiki package.

These are my links for May 8th:

• London Web Week - Seven days of web design and development events, taking place in central London from 26th May to 1st June, 2008.

With Sky Plus (UK) or Tivo (US), you can ’subscribe’ to your favourite programs. You select subscribe and from that point forward the episodes of your favourite shows are stored ready for when you want to view them.

It’s the same with websites and RSS. You subscribe to your favourite site and the content is delivered to your RSS reader ready for when you want to consume it.

I used this analogy recently and had someone complain to me that her friend’s website was not Tivo enabled…..

These are my links for May 2nd:

• Tubetastic Org Chart on Flickr - Photo Sharing! - Hey look. I’m Manager of Human/Tube Interaction! Love it.

I’m pleased to announce the Web 2.0 University is coming to the UK!  I’m working with Dion Hinchcliffe to bring the Web 2.0 Executive Bootcamp to London on the 30th September 2008.

The Web 2.0 University is a collection of one-day courses developed by Dion Hinchcliffe and O’Reilly Media (the firm that coined the term Web 2.0).  The deliveries are deliberately aimed at the management to executive level, to provide a thorough overview of the topic and explore the many ways Web 2.0 can transform business.

So get your IT & business management to attend.  They’ll come back educated and inspired to adopt Web 2.0 approaches!

It’s a great pleasure to be working with Dion and the Web 2.0 University team.  It’s also a good thing for the UK as this part of Europe is often overlooked when it comes to topics such as Web 2.0 and business innovation. 

I’ll be posting more information as we start the marketing, but I wanted you guys to be among the first to know!

Here’s a short video of my recent trip to Texas. It’s cobbled together with Flickr images, a random song, a video creation script/service and presented through Jumpcut.

Why am I publishing this? To demonstrate how by using a bunch of free web based tools it’s now easy to produce this level of content. Compare this to some of the ‘professionally’ produced corporate material you see inside organisations. User generated material won’t completely replace professional content from the comms department but it will shake things up a bit!
