Building a personal knowledge management environment

Just a quiet little pointer from Dave Winer this morning on the idea of his that has ended up driving a huge amount of my experimentation with creating an environment for personal knowledge management.

BlawgThink: Powered by MindManager

This is an exciting addition to the upcoming BlawgThing conference. I've been using and advocating mindmaps
for years (I have one 26-year old hand drawn mindmap near my desk that
I used to organize my studying for exams at the end of my first year of
business school). MindManager was the first, and in my view still the
best, [...]

Happy Shared Blogiversary to Liz Lawley

If it's my blogiversary, then it's also Liz Lawley's. So, a happy blogiversary
to you over at mamamusings.

Fourth blogiversary at McGee's Musings

I've now reached four years of writing in this space. Curiously, I missed my
first blogiversary, but did manage to post this item: Doonesbury on
blogging.
Obviously, the rewards and benefits continue to outweigh the costs. I still
get a kick out of meeti ng someone who's read something here. I continue to meet

Becoming a better quick study of new markets and technology

Tim Oren offers

Take a Risk Today

Found this at Jason Womack's blog this morning. Made my day and I figured I'd help pass it along:

A visit from Buzz

Buzz came through
Chicago last week on his trek
across America. I was on my way back from a day of interviewing and
recruiting at the University of Illinois in Champaign and found Buzz in a
Starbucks in Glenview. From there, Buzz followed me home in his new Saab. In
typical Buzz fashion, he charmed Charlotte once again and proceeded [...]

Corporate Blogging Resource

Another resource focused on marketing/PR/advertising uses of blogs.
Worth trading an email address for. I suppose it's natural that this is
the arena where blogging can most easily gain entry in most corporate
environments. I continue to believe that blogs and related technologies
will have greater impact long-term in how they affect the process of
innovation and of knowledge work [...]

Blogging Masters Thesis

The focus is on putting blogging in perspective with more traditional
forms of media and advertising communications. That's not the only use
of blogging, although it is one that is attracting much attention
lately. Nonetheless, this is a worthwhile resource and take on one
aspect of blogging today.
Blogging Thesis.
This is a very cool, very in-depth study of blogs [...]
