A blog about working smarter, not necessarily harder, through social networking, digital technologies
Life – Everything that has got to do with life. Period.
Once again, back to the grid, back to my usual regular blogging activities, after my last business trip is now completed, which, this time around, has been slightly longer than usual, since I have been away on the road for 10 days, having just returned last Sunday from participating in a couple of conference events, … Continue reading The Power of Words – Back to Blogging!
Over the course of the last couple of days my social periscope, both inside and outside of the firewall, has been down for most of the time, as I have been fully immersed on the IBM Simplify Jam, jamming away, with still nearly 7 hours to go!, on trying to figure out ways to help untangle IBM’s … Continue reading A Special Day
One of the main inhibitors with regards to a successful adoption of social software within the enterprise that I keep bumping into from fellow knowledge workers and, specially, their managers!, is that perception that social networking, you know, “things” like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like are just for fun. Social spaces where you goof … Continue reading Social Networking Gets Serious – #prayforjapan
Over the course of the last few weeks I have been engaging on a good number of conversations around the subject of Leadership (Which I am hoping to be talking about plenty more very soon, by the way, once a publication makes it out there in the next couple of weeks…), and how social networking is … Continue reading Social Business – Rethinking Innovation, Organization and Leadership
After 26 hours in transit, I am finally in Orlando, FL, well rested and with everything ready to participate and attend IBM’s Lotusphere 2011 event from January 30th till February 3rd. However, after such a draining travelling experience (You probably don’t even want to know all of the details…) I knew I needed a bit of … Continue reading The Frontier Is Everywhere
“By 2011 Social Networking will be more popular than face-to-face collaboration“. I am not sure whether that sentence has, finally, become a reality for most knowledge workers out there, probably so, specially those working in a global, distributed environment, but it surely has been for me for the last 8 years, and counting… And, up to not … Continue reading Smarter Work
Last week was a rather emotional week for yours truly and for several reasons, most of them related to work. Over the course of the years one has learned though that in times when you are emotionally impaired (Whether too upset or too over-excited) blogging is perhaps not the best of activities to engage with. … Continue reading January 20th 1997 – Yes, I Am an IBMer!
Nearly two weeks later, after my last blog post over here (See Three Wishes), here I am again putting together this next entry thinking that it may well be a good time now to change, somewhat, part of my own blogging style, once again, since it looks like it is taking me more and more time … Continue reading The Hybrid Experiment
I am not the kind of person who is very keen on doing the usual predictions or resolutions blog post for the New Year, in this case for 2011; I have never done it in the past and don’t intend to get started now, but for the last few days I have been having this … Continue reading Three Wishes
I guess that with 47 million iPhones sold throughout 2010 and with 20 million plus already expected for Q1 in 2011 there is very little I would probably need to add about the tremendous impact of the iPhone within the smartphone market, whether for business or for personal use. Or both. So earlier on this year, … Continue reading My Top 5 iPhone Apps of the Week – Week #1
