in Do You Twitter For Work? on How To Split An Atom
Interesting. I don't think the "real world" has gotten to know the power of twitter and stuff like it. However it seems that the people you talked to about this issue are "techies". Meaning they are up to date with what is going on in the internet industry.
As a majority I think the business world doesn't like twitter at all. They think it is just another time waster. It could be and its fun, but bottom line, they just don't understand it.
For instance. I'm using the public free wifi at the Indiana University hospital in Indy right now and Twitter is blocked. So for some reason it is a big problem in some peoples eyes still.
Thank god for cellphone with internet & text messaging so I can update my twitter.

I can't agree with you more about the "real world" thing. I guess my question breaks into two.
Is it that businesses simply don't understand that things like Twitter can have legitimate, professional uses (they lump them in with Facebook/Myspace as "time wasters)
OR
Is it that tech people like ourselves are trying too hard to fit a square peg into a round hole? Is Twitter actually a waste of time that we continually try to pretty up to look like a "conversation tool"?

in How To Communicate Effectively on How To Split An Atom
Communication is very very very important..
I think it is one of the most important part of business. It's hard to do sometimes, but it can be done.
I know when I interview for jobs, I always emphasize the importance of communication.
Very day we are all learning new ways of communication through email, social networks, IM's, and video. Even though we have all these new elements, it still takes time and patients to communicate with people at any part of the world.

Yea, but no matter how many new means of communication that we develop the basic principles behind it seem to stay the same, don't you think?

in Blogosphere: The Enquirer For Geeks on How To Split An Atom
Interesting point. I didn't know that about the head butting between Jason & Andrew.
Another human based search engine is ChaCha.com. They just 10mil in funding.
However I have heard that the CEO/founder of wikipedia is looking to get involved with the search engine market.
Already most of the results from google include a link to wikipedia within the 1st page. So there is a market out there for wikipedia to get involved with.

There have been on and off rumors of the Wikipedia folks getting into search, if they managed to pull it off it would be fantastic. But I'll believe it when I see it.

Isn't Hakia a Islander war dance too?
I know the All Blacks Ruby team in New Zealand does the Hakia war dance before each match. It is awesome!! Check them out.. Pretty intimidating.

That's the second most important role of Web 2.0, to borrow indiscriminately for obscure cultural references in order to create catchy products names.
