June is just around the corner and, once again, that can only mean that one of my favourite times of the year for conference events is about to kick off as well. Yes, that’s right! Once more, and like every year, the Enterprise 2.0 event in Boston is approaching really fast and before you know it it’s already here! Mark your calendars for June 20th to 23rd, because this time around it looks like it’s going to rock more than ever! Yes, you can see how excited I am about going th [read] Keywords: collaboration ibm notes email enterprise facebook google linkedin networking skype social software twitter

Enjoying a Disconnected Life in an Interconnected World
Mon, May 23rd 2011 11:22a   Luis Suarez
As much as we all love being interconnected with our family and friends, our peers, our customers and business partners, etc. etc. through the Social Web, there are plenty of times when you know you probably should disconnect a bit to look around and treasure those precious little moments that one gets to enjoy in life, specially when living through those tiny things that really matter. Those that bring you a smile or two to your face in content and appreciation for what you have around you.

How to Use Employee Engagement to Boost Your Business
Wed, May 18th 2011 1:22p   Luis Suarez
Curating good, relevant content that matters to you is just such a wonderful thing! Over the last couple of years there have been a good number of really insightful, and very helpful, blog posts that have caught my attention on what, to me, is still one of the most important topics within the corporate environment and perhaps well beyond as well, without not necessarily even being related to social networking alone per se: Employee Engagement. Most of those articles have always been very positiv [read] Keywords: collaboration notes application community enterprise facebook google integration linkedin networking social software twitter

The Evolution of the Knowledge Web Worker
Tue, May 17th 2011 9:23a   Luis Suarez
“A knowledge worker is someone who gets to decide what he or she does each morning“, by Thomas A. Stewart, (Journalist & Author) is probably one of my all time favourite quotes that my good friend David Gurteen keeps sharing every so often in a couple of places. You gotta love those quotes. They are incredibly insightful and very resourceful to include in your presentations, blog posts, etc. etc. For sure. But I can imagine how there may well be a bunch of folks out there, who [read] Keywords: collaboration notes blogging facebook google linkedin networking twitter wiki

Life In A Perpetual Learning State
Mon, May 16th 2011 2:02p   Luis Suarez
There are plenty of rather inspiring short video clips out there that help define some of the transformational changes we are all going through, and / or being affected by, in multiple ways whether at work, or in our personal lives. I would probably venture to state that there isn’t a single aspect of us all, as humans part of a now more global and complex society than ever, that there isn’t a single aspect in our day to day lives that may not be affected by technology, specially, th [read] Keywords: collaboration notes facebook google integration linkedin twitter wiki

theTeam – Knowledge Management Done Right
Fri, May 13th 2011 1:42p   Luis Suarez
You may have noticed how, over the course of the last couple of weeks, I have started to share over here in this blog a whole lot more video (related) content than anything else, to the point where I can imagine how there may be a few of you folks out there who may be wondering whether this blog will turn itself into a videoblog eventually. Well, not likely. At least, not at this point in time. What happens though is my ever growing addiction to one of my all time favourite iPad Apps I just can& [read] Keywords: collaboration notes enterprise facebook google linkedin twitter

Gotta Share! – The Ultimate Conference Event Experience
Wed, May 11th 2011 5:02p   Luis Suarez
Yesterday, my good friend Ian Thorpe put together one of the most interesting and relevant blog posts I can remember around the topic of conference events and how to get the most out of them in today’s, now more than ever, social world, by pointing out a good number of suggestions and enhancements, mostly around the area of networking, good and relevant content less concentrated in presentations (The well known Death by PowerPoint), and more into conversations and discussions, as well as h [read] Keywords: collaboration notes enterprise facebook google linkedin networking twitter

My Top 10 Reasons Why I Bought an iPad 2
Tue, May 10th 2011 3:22p   Luis Suarez
If you have been following me on Twitter for a little while now, you would probably know by now how much in love I am with my new shiny iPad 2 that I bought in Madrid almost a month ago, after having tried in multiple places. I guess that’s one of the perks of travelling on a regular basis, that you keep trying to get your hands on it at multiple venues, till it eventually happens heh Anyway, I am sure you may still remember the blog post I put together over here, almost a year ago, when I [read] Keywords: collaboration notes apple blackberry enterprise exchange exchange facebook google iphone linkedin mac macbook mobile social software twitter

As usual, and like I have been doing already for a few weeks now, it’s time to get started with another week at work and share that inspiring video clip that would help set the stage on what promises to be another exciting week. Once again, I am on the road for my next business trip, this time around to Madrid, to participate on a customer event, later on in the week, talking about “The Social Enterprise” and where I am going to be sharing the stage with one of my favourite peo [read] Keywords: collaboration notes enterprise facebook google integration linkedin twitter wiki

Even though the last couple of blog posts have been some of the most popular I have shared across over here in the last few weeks (Surely, it looks like both Activity Streams, as a powerful method to help reduce information overload, as well as “Filter Bubbles“, seem to be rather hot topics at the moment!), I do realise they are rather lengthy articles, so in order to give you folks a little bit of a break and, why not?, a good breather as well hehe, I thought I would go ahead today [read] Keywords: collaboration notes community facebook google linkedin twitter

Smart Filtering – On Humanising and Socialising the Web
Thu, May 5th 2011 12:45p   Luis Suarez
In yesterday’s blog post under the heading “5 Reasons Why Activity Streams Will Save You From Information Overload” I mentioned how crucial and critical collaborative and social filtering of relevant content and people would become within the Social Computing realm in the coming years, if not already altogether, in order to allow knowledge workers manage their various streams much more efficiently and effectively.

5 Reasons Why Activity Streams Will Save Your From Information Overload
Wed, May 4th 2011 10:26a   Luis Suarez
I heart Activity Streams. I mean, I *love* them to bits! From the very first beginning that I got exposed to them over at Twitter, over 4 years ago, till today, where I am using a bunch of various different microblogging / microsharing services, both internal and external, I couldn’t work, nor get much done!, without them. I live them. I think they are probably one of the most fundamental, critical and relevant 2.0 capabilities that any company can turn into, if they would want to dive int [read] Keywords: collaboration connections ibm lotus notes email enterprise facebook google integration linkedin networking social software twitter wiki

If you have been following the #e20 and #socbiz hash tags in Twitter over the last few days (You should!, if you haven’t started just yet, if you would want to keep up with what’s happening around Social Computing within the Enterprise) you would know how the folks from Chess Media Group, with my good friend Jacob Morgan being the main instigator, are conducting a rather interesting study on Enterprise 2.0 and Collaboration where they are gathering input from 2.0 practitioners to sh [read] Keywords: collaboration ibm notes blogging enterprise facebook google linkedin social software twitter

Why Ideas Are Obvious to You But Amazing to Others
Mon, May 2nd 2011 5:06p   Luis Suarez
I think we all know by now how wonderfully refreshing, inspiring, re-invigorating, thought-provoking and mind-blowing it is when ideas have sex, plenty of it!, specially, when that happens on a rather frequent basis; non-stop brain frenzy circulating all over the place, as Matt Ridley beautifully described on a TED Talk nearly a year ago; but what happens when all of those (brilliant) ideas you keep coming up with are rather obvious to you, to the point where you think they are not worth sharing [read] Keywords: collaboration notes facebook google linkedin twitter

Following up further with that series of blog posts I started a couple of weeks ago, where I would begin another week at work with an inspiring video clip or a story to share across (Remember The Mountain?), I thought I would get things going this time around not with one of those clips, but two of them actually! That doesn’t sound too bad, right?

I need an online ragbag. I need, and pretty badly, a Web based ragbag, easy to use, fast enough to interact with on the go, pervasive, available at all times through multiple venues (Including mobile), where I can dump things quickly and share them across with others, or make them available for future reference for upcoming blog posts, clippings or whatever else.

Nancy White and Suzy – An Intro to Twitter

Over the last few days, perhaps last couple of weeks, I have been having, once again, that ongoing love / hate relationship with Twitter, inclining itself a little bit more on the hate side of things this time around. Unfortunately. Specially, with #newtwitter, seeing how the overall user experience has deteriorated quite a bit over the last few months with a clunky (not working) search engine, missing dozens of tweets from the main timeline, as well as a bunch of Mentions and replies not showi [read] Keywords: collaboration notes application blogging enterprise facebook google linkedin networking twitter

The Art of Collaborating Effectively in Virtual Teams
Tue, Apr 26th 2011 6:42p   Luis Suarez
A few days back, over at GigaOm‘s WebWorkerDaily, Aliza Sherman shared a very interesting piece under a rather suggestive title: “5 Reasons Why Virtual Teams Fail“, where she pretty much nailed it on some of the various different issues that virtual teams face on a regular basis when confronted with that good old concept of collaborating effectively in a now more than ever distributed world.

One of the many great things from sharing your blog posts on Twitter (And I am sure that would apply as well to other social networking sites), to alert folks that new, fresh content is available in your blog, is the fact that shortly after there is always a great chance that you will get back a bunch of replies, retweets and Mentions from your tweeps sharing some additional commentary to your blog entries or perhaps a bunch of new links to related and relevant articles already available out the [read] Keywords: collaboration notes community facebook google linkedin networking twitter

On Being Wrong by Kathryn Schulz

What if we were all wrong all along? Why all of this everlasting obsession about always being right? How can we possibly claim we are always right and never wrong? Why do we have to feel that bad about being wrong altogether? Can we live a fruitful life outside rightness and still feel good about it? Well, apparently we can!
