Rulers of the Cloud: Google Becomes the Cloud, Search is a Feature
Not just the few clicks to find information, but the information itself and the experience surrounding it.
He has been a key contributor and thought leader in key areas of interoperability and information design, including his leadership in bringing XML to the world. He mentioned his desire to take the open APIs of Android and expose some of the information in a more portable way, for example to transfer a call log from one phone to another. The shortest way to describe this is that Google is no longer a verb. It's becoming a noun.

Why I work for Pub TV/Radio and for Libraries - Our new institutions?
Why would a public TV station expand its role from broadcasting content, from providing information and entertainment, to facilitating a conversation in its community? For generations simply adding more funding to the system, had a direct result of better outcomes. Again for generations, more money, better access to the system, more drugs etc did deliver better health. Why Public Service Media? Why libraries?

Next Generation: Climate Change Preparedness Meets Social Media
The comments they are getting are interesting too, lots of positive feedback on their delivery, extra information and geographical comparisons from people who live far from their small mid-western town. I'll put the link here , just for now, in case you want to go and give them some information on extreme weather events from your part of the world. I am just about to comment on a PPT presentation that a couple of elementary school students made about what to do in case of a tornado (Among other things: Seek shelter under a sturdy table in the basement.

Are You Ready to Manage Five Generations of Workers?
This translates into a social phenomenon not yet witnessed: five generations are about to be working side by side. Due to their smaller size, Gen X will never have the majority spot in the workplace — and so in essence, we will have skipped an entire generation by 2015.) When you consider the changes in the amount of knowledge available at our fingertips, the advent of social technologies, and the expansion of the global economy over those two generations, Does retirement look a little further off now than it did just a few years ago? If you are over 62, odds are you're

Why I am no longer calling myself an information architect.
About a year ago, Jesse came to me and suggested I change my title from Information Architect to User Experience Designer. considered myself an information architect first and foremost. In Memphis this past weekend, at the IA Summit 2009, I spent a lot of time talking with first time attendees and those new to the field of information architecture. He gave a number of reasons, but none of them resonated with me. I

What Does Your Facebook Profile Say About You?
That's why you see some executives, if they're on Facebook at all, posed in their profile picture as if for the annual report, and with nothing personal posted to their "information" tab. Our own observation finds some folks post only professional information on their pages, while others post exclusively personal stuff. Obviously it's never a good idea to post "personally identifiable information" We were talking to the VP for online strategy at a big Silicon Valley company last week. Among other tasks she helps the company's senior executives create a presence on Facebook and Twitter.

New Technology Supporting Informal Learning
This work, in turn, is suggesting and supporting the model of learning described in the first section, that of a course network supporting and informing an ever-shifting set of course episodes. There has been much discussion in recent years about the rise of the 'digital native' or of the 'net generation'. This is the basis for the models and strategies that characterize what has come Abstract We often talk about games, simulations and other events in learning, but these technologies support only episodic learning. Equally important are those technologies that provide a context

The High Priests of IT — And the Heretics
IT's origins are in the priesthood of the mainframe — my father's generation of geeks, who tended huge, centralized beasts that served the whole enterprise from their humming, air-conditioned sanctuaries. This turns heretics into missionaries, turns them into the living laboratory for all the solutions that will inform the firm's tomorrow, while safeguarding the needs of today.
Though I've done time in corporate IT — and have even born the CIO title more than once — I've always had more sympathy for the firewall-breaking, virus-toting, data-leaking users than I have for the responsible and sober IT departments that struggle every day to keep the systems running while the users set out to dismantle it.

Generations in China
Many thanks to all who joined the discussion several weeks ago regarding generations in India. This generation learned that affiliating with the "right" people was essential for survival, advice they undoubtedly offered to their children.
Members of this generation in China grew up with the belief that loyalty to the state and institutions would be rewarded, questioning authority was unacceptable, education was unnecessary, and anything "foreign" or "old fashioned" was unwanted. I hope those of you who grew up in China will share your formative experiences and the resultant conceptual models that influence your view of today's world.
