Week: Business Owner Geeks

Friday, August 24th, 2007

What a geek week. Face to Face present­a­tions to 120 people, focus­ing on this new world of “online”. Some­where around 6,700+ views of http://thegeekstories.com/ videos.

Tim, an old friend whom I owe much, a key share­holder in Next­Byte sold out […]

Frank Arrigo, Wikipedia

Monday, May 28th, 2007

After more dis­cus­sion than con­tent, Wiki­pe­dia has sadly removed the Frank Arrigo entry cre­ated by delic8genius, and edited (badly) by my good self.
Object­ive les­sons learnt:

social media is not a free-for-all
online com­munit­ies have rules
wiki­pe­dia does openly pub­lish their rules. These rules and style guide are long. 
new­bies are left to freely cre­ate their own entries
strong edit­or­ial pro­cess quickly clamps down on new […]

Wikipedia

Sunday, October 19th, 2003

OK, you know I am a bit of a swot, and like things more on the cereb­ral side of life. There­fore, this is the find of the week­end: Wiki­pe­dia.
