Re: The Best Single Purpose Websites That Do Exactly What They Say They Do

Last paragraph; is the 'Excited' link correct? Are you sure?

Re: New Professional Social Network Sets Its Sights on LinkedIn

Wedge — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 10:57:05 -0000

Am I right in thinking that this service maps the importance of your network by my use of email? This is a poor metric for me! It'll just show that I email five colleagues every week - it won't understand the vital relationships I have with stakeholders over social media / skype calls.

Re: The problem with IT and the digital workplace

Wedge — Mon, 23 Feb 2015 10:30:57 -0000

As is often the case, I recognise what you say, Gerry. I hope it's not too obvious to say that some companies have fantastic UX and UI people. I know several intranets that are collaboratively run with IT being much involved.

I've also had IT people take me aside to explain that my team mates (in comms / HR / marketing etc.) haven't a clue about the long-term ramifications of knee-jerk untested 'business decisions'. And the costs!

As a past intranet manager, I value reviewed content, but I believe we need lots and lots of active intranet contributors to really make the intranet useful. So yes, this creates a content management nightmare. So information management policies need implementing (the automatic IT policies as well as the people-processes).

Many projects are run *as projects* - they start, and then end with 'delivery'. This is upsetting, as delivery is often the start - the 'project' has to be embedded yada yada - insert reference to 'engagement'.

Re: Lift For iPhone Helps You Adopt New Habits By Committing To Them Publicly

Wedge — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 16:40:04 -0000

I like using Lift to help me in my daily habits. I don't think it's all about social, although if your friends know your goals that's said to be a big help. By having a daily to do list that is about my personal life, rather than my chores and tasks, I'm well on the way to embedding some beneficial habits. Small changes can have big effects.

Re: Intranet bloggers psychographic analysis (Intranet diary)

Wedge — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 05:03:22 -0000

Ho ho! Great to see that my blog is more scientific and analytical than I am myself :) And yes, as Luke notes, our blogs change quite frequently - we keep evolving as we try to meet needs I suspect.

Re: Will You Quit Facebook Today? [POLL]

Wedge — Mon, 31 May 2010 14:38:11 -0000

I cannot quite Facebook because of the Groups I help run there, but I have deleted a great deal from my profile and it's 'locked' down.

Re: 2010 Will See Consolidation and FoldUps

Wedge — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:07:13 -0000

OK. I see the nudge there. I may not even rate as a 'solo' but I'm now considering collaborating more with other people who write about internal communications: http://kilobox.net/1280/

Thanks for the push, Chris.

Re: The proliferation of crap content and the rise of content reputation systems

Wedge — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 02:26:32 -0000

What does this mean for my hand crafted blogsite?
Do I have to be a part of Technorati and Digg to get a reputation? These two sites offer no benefit to me and my niche market, so must I rely on real people within my Twitter and LinkedIn networks to promote and trust my content?

Re: Top 10 Must Haves For Every Good Social Intranet

Wedge — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:11:05 -0000

I don't run a good intranet, but I'm glad to see I can tick of many of these basic ideas. Will come back and re-view, thanks.

Hi Dan,

is it... is it seriously broken today?

Re: Lifehack App for iPhone is released!

Wedge — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:10:33 -0000

Isn't there a WP Touch Theme for lifehack? how do I turn the mobile theme 'on' when I'm surfing lifehack.org on my iPhone / iPod touch?

Great to see your claimr! More details at http://claimr.kilobox.net

Re: Beyond TweetBacks: Introducing TweetSuite

Wedge — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:25:48 -0000

And I'd really appreciate being able to put the Tweet image at the bottom of a post. It's out of place at the top when we have images.

Re: Beyond TweetBacks: Introducing TweetSuite

Wedge — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:24:46 -0000

Thanks for this. Great plug in. One tech question. When there are no tweets, this text is displayed: “Be the first to Tweet this post” and the link on the Tweet image doesn't work either; the link is back to the post itself.

Is this me or a bug?

Thanks.

Re: Understanding Your Guests

Wedge — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:53:33 -0000

I don't know a lot about my visitors' habits yet. I have developed personal relationships with them though, because I recieve fewer comments than larger sites. Yes, I want Disney levels of visitors, but I'm happy meeting individuals right now :)

Re: Finding ideas, getting it right [Blogging 101]

Wedge — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 04:35:23 -0000

I post five meaty updates every week about good writing and Internal Communications. I doubt I'll think I'll ever run run out of themes to cover.

Re: Twhirl Makes Yammer Irrelevant

Wedge — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 03:39:13 -0000

When I saw Yammer, I was disappointed it won (it's not innovative) and I wanted it for the company I work for. Now I'm glad to learn that a self-hosted solution exists without having to get into Yammer. It might take me a year to convince management that internal microblogging can add value to dislocated teams though!

Great to see your links, thank you.

Re: Your intranet is not a channel for you to vent on

Wedge — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:30:23 -0000

Hi Steve, nice to see you again.

Can you tell me which links are failing please? (Wedge kilobox.net)

Although I'm a huge web user, I'm currently offline a lot, and so I write offline - a side effect is that I'm not doing too well at placing any links into my posts. My bad I know, but that's a side issue. If I've got broken links, please let me know.

Re: Who are you? (It’s a direct question)

Wedge — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:46:15 -0000

Very nice to hear from each of you, thank you.

Re: The editor is your enemy

Wedge — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:27:29 -0000

Some people, like Jules, would make excellent editors as an eye for detail is crucial. My eye is variable; sometimes I see the detail (like tense, active voice et cetera) and other times I see the big picture (context, audience reaction).

It's important to have a good message first and foremost - good writing can only enhance the message, not replace it - see: http://kilobox.net/328/good...

Re: Writing for the web, writing for the mobile web

Wedge — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:08:48 -0000

Thank you both.

Was great to see a load of StumpleUpon members visiting for this article, thanks a lot.

Re: Top 10 alternative Twitter clients

Wedge — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:56:32 -0000

Cutting away the SMS notifications means dumping the conversational element of Twitter.

Without the direct interaction of notifications, Twitter becomes just a website, just a ‘message board’. I will continue to Twitter, but I will miss interacting with people so much.

"what if my media was that personal?"

My talks and training sessions are!

Re: My domain and site name are wrong

Hello hello Chris, what brought you my way?

Thanks ever so for stopping by, I'll look out for your new website, and I'll watch what you choose to do with your CB.com domain :)

Hey, maybe you are a brand, maybe ChrisBrogon.com is where it's all at?

Tomorrow (and the day after) I'll be discussing email addresses, and I'm sure yours is fine, as you're not afraid to show it I know.
