@tim blackburn – convincing the unconvince-able – welcome to my world

First of all, my experience of any organisational change is that it *always* fells like hitting your head against a brick wall, because that’s exactly what you’re doing – except it’s not an example of extreme stupidity, it’s usually the most sensible thing in the world.

I will try to pull something out of my presentation as a blog post here, when I have a moment, thanks for asking but I’m sorry I don’t have a quick smart answer other than “get started and keep going”

@gWHIZ – it was entirely my pleasure, only sorry i couldn’t hang out with you longer – I’m really glad you enjoyed the evening and had the chance to experience this lovely city a bit.

Keep watching this space for more on the café – we’re going to have fun with it. I will, of course let you know if there are bits I particularly need your help with.

I will keep my eye on Grocio.com too and have passed the details I have on to a couple of people already. All the very best with it.

The graphic here is from the face wheel app (I think that’s what it’s called) in Facebook – it’s my facebook friends showing all the links between them that are nothing to do with me

Cheers

Lloyd, I was at your seminar at the Online Information exhibition last week (I was the one who’s phone went off – sorry!). Although I work in e-learning – at a FE college – and try to get staff and students to use social networking, podcasting, etc., for their teaching and learning, a lot of them are still very reluctant to use stuff like that. They’re almost seeing it as just another gimmick that’s going to be overtaken by some other fad in less than a year. College management has banned Facebook (bandwidth constraints etc), which seems really short-sighted, and you can see allsorts of other networks getting the same treatment. You showed off some really good ideas the other day which really inspired me to come back and start a podcasting revolution, but I feel like I’d be hitting my head against a brickwall already.

Any ideas about convincing the (almost) unconvinceable?

Lloyd, sincerely appreciate the hospitality Friday night. Wonderful meeting you.

As for the social play you’re in the process of building. Please, count me in, if for no other reason than the diversity I’d bring (can’t vouch for any value I might or might not add).

Lastly, as I’m a data visualization nut… the graph you are displaying with this posting was obtained/created how? Very lovely.

LLoyd,
We are breaking into an era where ‘Geography is History, Serendipity is the New Geography’. Dunbar limit is more like, pure offline world equivalent of how much can an average fit person walk and cover ground. Just like motorized personal transport evolved, Avatar-automation will evolve to extend the Dunbar limit by several orders of magnitude.
For instance, it is easy to imagine a FireFox plugin for FaceBook that will watch friendings in your other networks(say Linkedin) and create friend request, poke or fun wall posting automatically. Like that there are several automated actions possible. Also new class of personal wearable devices that drives your avatar(s) and streams your life through the avatar(s) is not very far away.
