I’ve had a bit of a nightmare day. Having overcome some slight hiccups with work, I then ended up having to deal with some problems at home after our annual heating and boiler inspection. If you’ve ever had a day which is constantly throwing up challenges, you might understand why I’d really like to restart the week tomorrow if possible!
Hopefully you can also take comfort from knowing that you’ve managed to deal with at least some of the problems straight away, even if others take a little more time – that’s what’s keeping me motivated this evening.
But when I thought about my failure to get a blog post prepared for today, I realised I’ve been neglecting something. I’m pretty good at sharing content and recommendations via social media, and it’s really second nature to tweet a good blog post or +1 a presentation. Yet I’ve been increasingly neglecting the same role on my blog, and although I can come up with a couple of explanations (I keep forgetting the PressThis bookmarklet, I feel obliged to write lengthy explanations/counterarguments when I share), they’re not very good ones.
So to start correcting that, here’s a recommendation for a keynote speech and accompanying slides from Dave Cushman at CeBit. It’s a lengthy video, but packed full of a lot of useful info and insight.
And I’ve consciously chosen not to embed the slides or video on here – I’ve been doing some thinking about sharing, particularly in light of the rise of ‘frictionless sharing’, and how it’s changing the interlinks of the internet. More on that to come…
