And given that we prefer people who are willing to move and we prefer teams over individual founders, this makes it even more difficult." A decade ago, entrepreneurs saw seed funds as a means to an end.

Keep Small Bites from Killing Big Innovations
No group or individual is going to pitch in that much for the broader good, he maintained. How is Microsoft like our current government in Washington? You were going to guess that both have the ability to mint money based on certain monopolies, weren't you, you cynic. The better answer may be even more troubling: These days the ability of each colossus to launch bold, necessary innovations is being bled away by special interest

Individualism and Classism
The reason I focus on the self, rather than some wider definition of learning, is that each individual is different, and indeed, that such diversity is to be valued. This is especially evident in a field like education, where each learner has individual needs and interests. And this has to come with the admonishment that each individual is valuable and has worth. Responding to an email from Nick Bowskill : I think you have a good point and I'm always attentive to the risk of catering to the Ayn Rand set when I talk about centering learning on the self. My intent is absolutely

Web 2.0 Tools, Networks and Community (Individuals vs. Collective)
The key indicator for us is that community is present when individual and collective identity begins to be expressed; when we care about who said what, not just the what; when relationship is part of the dynamic and links are no longer the only currency of exchange (Packwood 2005). world where I share content via Blogger - I actually have found much more of a direct connection to other individuals . Nancy just created a post out of an article and presentation that I had linked to before: Full Circle Online Interaction Blog: Blogs and Community - launching a new paradigm for online community?

Individual Value Required
software or enterprise social software should not focus on: social networks or social software, which is focused entirely on enabling conversations Instead, Aaron points to what he calls Collaborative networks: Rather than focusing on socialization, one to one interactions and individual enrichment, businesses must be concerned with creating an information fabric within their organizations. When you make this information fabric easy to edit between groups of individuals in a dynamic, secure, governed and real-time manner, it creates a Collaborative Network. Collaborative

Efficiency Measures Short-Change Individual Action
We force the charity to tell individuals that 60% of donations went to the cause. University of Indiana economist Richard Steineberg, who pioneered the distinction, wrote, "The average fundraising percentage contains little information of value to individual donors ... While society may care about the average return to donations, individuals can only control their increment to the donative pool...it This is the fifth in a series on the failings of "efficiency" measures. Today: incremental vs.

Less than a pretty face: Brain scans show how a disorder leads individuals to perceive themselves as ugly
Despite living in a culture obsessed with physical flawlessness, most people in the U.S. have a relatively realistic perception of their own form and face--blemishes, bulges and all.

U.S. and U.K.'s Individuality Is Depressing, but Social Nets May Help
came top in individualism (that stiff upper lip perhaps?), Though there's likely to be a genetic component in action, it seems likely that Western individualism is causing stress and sadness.
But as these studies show, the effects of our technology are both positive and negative, and most likely highly unpredictable on a individual basis (individuals as in people, and as in different technologies.) Western society's habits, according to a new survey, are resulting in overly individualistic behavior that makes us depressed. But before that news makes you sad, a different
