Further, I asked about Bangalore’s Zippo-flipping, free-spending generation of young techies who’ve graduated to a huge wave of multinational jobs that pay them far more than their parents ever made, in many cases more than the rest of their families combined.

Because the content generation industry is slave to the needs of the people it supplies to, not the other way around. "Oh ar, oi'm a movie pirate, I am. Oh arrrr!"...does

What Does Your Facebook Profile Say About You?
Research shows most of us have little idea. Obviously it's never a good idea to post "personally identifiable information" that can lure identity thieves and other malefactors.

Gary then asked a critical question: what is the unique idea in connectivism? First, a new idea is often an old idea in today's context . For example, what is the new idea in constructivism? The ideas have existed in various forms over 2000 years ago. Late last week, I threw out a question to Gary Stager on Twitter: "when a constructivist constructs knowledge, where does it reside physically/biologically?". Gary replied with something along the lines of "we don't know and I don't care.

Having Ideas Versus Having a Vision
In the past decade, firms have been praised for ideas. Experts have celebrated the power of brainstorming and idea-generation techniques . One consequence of a decade focused on idea generation is ideas are now more easily accessible, which has also made idea generation less of a differentiator in competition than it has traditionally been.

Wikimedia Strategy: Ideas for Strengthening Online Communities
Our hunting and gathering of ideas for improving community health got a booster shot last month when Wikimedia Foundation executive director Sue Gardner, deputy director Erik Moeller and I had the opportunity to spend the day with Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales as well as with Clay Shirky, adjunct professor in NYU's graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program and author of Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations. The subject of the day was the state of the Wikipedia community, and its objective was to generate ideas. For those of you who have been following Wikimedia's open strategy initiative on this blog , you'll know that one of the goals of the work has been to strengthen the health of the Wikipedia community of contributors who create and use its online encyclopedias.
