So I’ve been sitting on Dr. Mark Drapeau’s (with Linton Wells) paper entitled Social Software and National Security (download here) for a few weeks. I took a quick peruse the other day and was digging what I was reading but thought I’d take a deeper dive on a Sunday morning. Here are my thoughts: 1)Read… Read more »
A “Network Perspective”
“Build Community!” “Social Media” “Twitter!” “Facebook” – the battle cries of a new generation in business, government and media. But what do these demands mean? What practical impact do they have? Intuitively, we know that many people together are stronger than few people acting alone. Yet, in most walks of life we live in aRead… Read more »

Gov 2.0 Camp: from the Twitterstream
Here’s another one of my soon to be patented (:->) reports from a conference I didn’t attend, brought to you through the benificence of the Twitterverse.

Kicking Butts
This title alone conjures up images of a fight, and I suppose in actuality it is referring to one.
