Becoming a true leader

Former GE CEO Jack Welch in his book ?Winning? talks about becoming a leader. He says (I?m paraphrasing) that we only truly become a leader when we change our focus from our own personal success to focusing on the success of those around us. Leaders inspire others to grow and succeed. Kathy Sierra, a favorite author and speaker, talks about using the same attitude in corporations. (The following graphic comes from her website.) The philosophy is simple. Empower and inspire others to greatne

Faut-il créer un code de bonne conduite pour les blogs ?

Le webzine ZDNet à écrit un papier sur cette initiative de Tim O?Reilly et Jimmy Wales (cofondateur de Wikipédia quand même !). Ils proposent en effet d?instaurer un genre de code civil du blogueur : audacieuse idée dans un univers qui s?est bâti sur la liberté. Mais au moins, la question à l?intérêt d?être posé maintenant.

The Inefficiency of Education

The Inefficiency of Education May 28, 2008 by JR I cant? stand inefficiency - I drives me nuts. It?s more than just a passing phase. I feel it at my core. That?s why I love getting rid of stuff at garage sales. I love cutting through cruft in large corporations. And I love discovering new fresh of presenting powerful ideas and concepts. These things fill me with joy. There is a real crisis going on in North American right now. Enrollment in computer programs is down at universities.

Twitter TOS

Julian Sanchez has an interesting post about Ariel Waldman?s Twitter trolls, pointing out we use the word harassment to ?describe actions that actively impinge on the victim?s space in some way.? More on spontaneous order and misogyny from RadGeek. Elsewhere, people are comparing Waldman with Kathy Sierra. The easiest way to work around it seems to be by making a user?s response feed private. As Biz Stone says, ?Twitter recognizes that it is not skilled at judging content disputes between indiv

Twitter Waffles On TOS, Treats It Like A Game of Darts

The Twitterverse was all aflutter over the past 24 hours or so as Twitter was used as a venue for online harassment. As soon as I started seeing the harassment accusations flying across my screen in Twhirl (my desktop Twitter client of choice) I thought about the blogstorm over Kathy Sierra last year. I first became aware of the accusations of harassment indirectly - one of my Twitter follows, Mary Wallace, was discussing it with one of her follows. At first I ignored their conversation, but a

Creativity loves constraints*

Creativity loves constraints* Publicado em Uncategorized by António Luís Vicente em Maio 21st, 2008 No extraordinário e infelizmente descontinuado blog Creating Passionate Users, de Kathy Sierra, falava-se às vezes da pouco óbvia e nada intuitiva ideia de que a criatividade precisa de constrangimentos. Existem dois grandes mitos na história de arte: o de que os grandes artistas são anti-sistema, marginalizados e pobres (ideia popularizada em finais do séc. XIX, tipo La Bohème) e o de que os

Considering uncivil comments at online news sites: a media relations perspective

For media relations executives working with client organizations to help them get a concise message across to the right community via the precise medium (or media platform, channel or vehicle, if you prefer), comments in the era of Web 2.0 present a somewhat delicate predicament. That?s because traditional news media with online 24-hour news sites have shown themselves to be somewhat lax in monitoring comments, which can range from the civil and rational to the ugly and downright deranged in

Tragedious

I only know the word tragedious because it is one of a handful of words in the English language that contains all five vowels and they are in alphabetical order. Tragediously would be one that uses the sometimes Y. The meaning of tragedious is to be like a tragedy. What I am about to write about is a tragedious waste. Creating Passionate Users is one of the best blogs I've ever had the pleasure of reading. When it was actively written I used to devour each post. They're still up there and I reco

Make me better and I will love you

Previously we?ve talked about creating software that makes people better on what they?re doing. Kathy Sierra has been a long term activist on this subject. How we get passionate about software that makes us better at our work, that is why I for example love Keynote, or a certain interest or hobby. Joshua Porter has a good post on the subject, regarding how many social niche networks are about just that, making users better at a certain activity and leverage existing motivation. There is a lot

Initialisation Blocks in Java

Status is better than cash

Scientific American is reporting a study that shows ?that money and social values are processed in the same brain region, providing insight into how we make choices?. Whuffie might be significantly more important factor in how people make decisions than cash rewards. ?Although we intuitively know that a good reputation makes us feel good, the idea that a good reputation is a ?reward? had long been just an assumption without scientific proof,? says Norihiro Sadato The research performed an f

Forum fever

There?s a new sustainability forum over at Building (the brainchild of Phil aka zerochampion and Micheal aka Breezeblock). A guest post from Che Wall kicked off the proceedings and there is a flurry of activity since, no doubt helped by the inducement of a free iPod Touch for the first 50 posters. Phil has asked for comments, so here are my thoughts. From a practical viewpoint there are a couple of really good things about the forum, and a one really annoying one. The main good point is also

Vandals, Vulgarity and Victims

Until last year, this odd negative/neon image was the only public image you could find of me on the web. In fact currently, many of my online sites still have this image. I like the photo, people who know me recognize me in it, and it was taken on a hot air balloon trip with my wife, so it has fond memories attached. But I decided that since I have been very public with my thoughts and ideas, (as seen on this blog), I would share a bit more of who I am, while on the web. Slowly but surely I hav

Johnny Bunko: a cartoon Joe who hates his dead-end accounting job. A set of magic chopsticks. And Diana, a Greek-anime goddess of job satisfaction.

Starting a Conversation: The Art of Comment Fetching

Photo by Mia Mia Everyone measures the success of their blog in different ways - but when it comes to measuring engagement, comments and trackbacks are what really count. Granted there are other ways of measuring engagement, such as Sphinns or Diggs - but let?s be narrow minded for a moment Seth Godin pointed out ?Your readers care about someone?s opinion even more than yours? their own.? For those of you with a quiet blog - it sure doesn?t seem that way, does it? However, it is very int

Rather than continuing my tedious process of writing, deleting and re-writing a mediocre introduction, I thought I would start, and finish, with her eloquent words? and I shall say very little.} ?The creative work that came out of the arts in [past centuries] had to be excellent, because each individual?s standard of living depe
