Sometimes I am a silly goose. I help sponsor a great aggregation site, the Communities and Networks Connection, but I lose track of it on my own radar. I do get the highlights via an email subscription (look at the right side of the page) and thought I’d offer a little glimpse, a temptation, if you will, to the site.

- The news that @barackobama has apparently hemorrhaged 35,00 followers in the past few days has set the social media world sniggering with schadenfreude.

- Objections to participation in conferencesCHRIS CORRIGAN|TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2011
- I have great clients. Most of the people who end up working with me do so because they want to work in radically more participatory ways, opening up processes to more voices, more leadership. In conference settings this means scheduling much more dialogue or running the whole thing using Open Space Technology and dispensing with pre-loading content.

- Living “A World Without Email” in Google Plus ELSUA|WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 2011
- In the last few weeks a lot has been written about whether Google Plus is the ultimate killer social networking site of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or several others, you name it. still think it s a bit too early to be announcing the painful death of each of those social networking environments. G+ still needs to reach that level. Or not.
