Sorry for not posting for awhile. I'm ready to get back in the blogging saddle...
Here are a few web tidbits and sites for your pleasure and exploration.
Wiki of obsolete skills - A to Z contributions of skills we no longer need. A - Adjusting rabbit ears on top of a tv, Z - zmodem to transfer a file. Perusing the list brought back some memories like eight tracks, formatting a floppy or rewinding an audio-casette using a Bic pen.
BusinessWeek talks about the TED conference introduction of Kluster (beta), a social network for product invention and creation. The concept is that through the "wisdom of crowds" ideas will be converted into protottypes and solutions. Also referenced in the article is Inkling, a Chicago based company that is creating a "prediction market platform" for generating results from groups.
Meanwhile Information Week, showcases the start-up HiveLive, a Boulder based enterprise social networking vendor that markets LiveConnect "a user-configurable building block for networking with people and sharing information. Hives can incorporate forums, polls, blogs, wikis, and more."
