The Splinternet Fragmentation of the Inbox

The Splinternet means the end of the Web’s golden age Now with iPhones, Androids, Kindles, Tablets, and TVs connecting to the Web, that’s not true.

Ice Floes Over Magnetic Poles
There were two seemingly unrelated news stories this past week: 1. Apple’s new iPad, and 2. that lucky dog rescued from an ice floe in the Baltic Sea after drifting for over 100 miles. (Ice Station Zebra, the spy thriller yarn with a story centered around the ice of the North Pole was also on [...]
The Hive Awards: Celebrating the Unsung Hero
I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this yet. Last year Alan Wolk asked me to be on the board for a new project he was working on, The Hive Awards. I loved the idea immediately and happily jumped on board. The Hive Awards are designed to reward all the unsung heroes of the internet: [...]

Being Trustworthy Isn’t About Feeling Good, It’s Smart Business
For a long time now I (and many many others) have been talking about transparency. I’ve even gone so far as to tell companies that they need to adopt a Transparent Business Strategy. The goal of a Transparent Strategy is to *have* trust. To have trust in others and to have the trust of others. [...]
Never chase a market leader. Instead start a new race.
Ignore the rumors and stop chasing Apple. Forbes has a good post on innovation. The irony is that the minute you say we want to innovate like Apple, you are no longer innovating. You’re iterating. Innovation Beyond Apple - Forbes.com When it comes to innovation, many executives in the consumer goods industry are chasing Apple. [...]
Maybe Your CEO Shouldn’t Blog.
I was asked once if CEO’s should blog. I started by saying that there are a lot of CEO’s who should not… (I then caught myself) There are a lot of people who will never and should never blog and there are many CEO’s who fit in that description. Image by Peter Kaminski via Flickr [...]
