People have told me I am good at asking the right questions. Here’s a few.
What is the best way to keep pace with social, technological, economic, environmental and political developments?
If your answer was social networking over the Internet, pat yourself on the back. If not, you have some other questions to ask of yourself.
Social networking over the Internet transfers power & influence from institutions to networked individuals. As I’ve said before, mainstream media go to Twitter as a source of breaking-news. Want to know what’s happening on the ground in an emergency, go to Twitter. Want to connect to thought-leaders and their networks? Sign-up to FriendFeed. Want to run a check on what’s hot? Try Digg.
For those that got the right answer to the first question, now ask: What would your organisation’s answer be?
If your organisation is not participating on social networking over the Internet, your organisation is disconnected from an increasingly valuable stream of knowledge and information.
