Call for Papers
Image via Wikipedia//Knowledge management - The softwareI wanted first to post this call for papers on an issue on Knowledge Management Beyond Borders on a website dedicated to intercultural management and ethnic minorities. But, I immediately remembered that this is a problem going beyond the usual academic and scholarly discussions: it is a very practical aspects regarding the ways in which we do businesses.
I can't wait to apply for this selection.
Good luck, competitors!
Mister Wong and me
While trying to fight with the WordPress blog settings - this is the newest entry in my always expanding media empire, and will share more about this soon - I discovered Mister Wong. What it is the connection: as I am trying to build a blog hosted by a German website, this Mister was recommended as a link to be used for sharing the latest updates. By curiosity, went on Google for a complex search and was happy to get in touch with the German site for social bookmarking. You can save all your favorite websites to your personal account and share it with other people from your network. The site is a direct competitor to del.icio.us and have the advantage of focusing exclusively on the German speaking realm. Recently, there were launched versions in Russian and Chinese. Equally, you can benefit of mobile support, accessing your account and saving your links of interest directly from your cellphone.
You can connect via icq, Skype, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, to access a FreeDigital Library. As privacy is a permanent matter of concern in Germany, the site is offering you the possibility to chose if you want to have your profile private or/and public. Also, you can access a Free Digital Library.
I am wondering if it is any similar website in French - as my blog I will start soon - when WordPress will be kind enough to share its secrets with me?

Travel recipes
Looking for new writing opportunities - as many as possible - I set-up a profile on www.travbuddy.com, a community of people with a big passion of travel. You can review locations - hotels, restaurants, places - you can share tips and also you can have your own blog, to post travel impressions and pictures. A big challenge for the industry of tourism as it used to be.
Academia.edu pays for good ideas
An interesting initiative from academia.edu a website dedicated to scholarly networking: They are paying the contributors sending ideas and suggestions for improving the quality of the website. My only observation is that you find this opportunity only somewhere at the upper end of the page, written with ilegible characters. Such a good idea deserves a better promotion.

Six Social Media Trends
Image via CrunchBaseThe last weeks of 2010: time for evaluations and predictions.
Here is one of them, about Six Social Media Trends.
As for me, I will bet a lot on Foursquare like networks, in terms of increasing profits and creating content and targeted relationships. In terms of innovation, I am sure there will be a couple of small but long term ideas that will orient the more and more intricated networks for turning them into smart tools - for consumers and users and companies - taking into account the feed-back offered by the users themselves. I am curious what Google will offer in this respect.
Here is another interesting article I've read today, about the limits of the Facebook-based activism, by Malcom Galdwell. All we need: people able to use the content and the opportunity of the network. The 2.0 citizen is on the run for the moment.
