Maybe it was: -The rash of Web 2.0 acquisitions (Brightcove + MetaStories, Google + Writely, SixApart + SplashBlog) – The sense that Web 2.0 is becoming a pile of me-too’s copying less than useful applications – The general need for Spring to spring – All of the above Either way, the above MacLeod got stuck […]
As part of my work with Joe Urban, I was invited to the Minnesota Chapter of the Urban Land Institute Young Leaders Group’s panel discussion on attracting and retaining young, creative people in Minnesota. On the panel: Jeff Berg from Olson Molly Culligan from M. Culligan Associates Michael Logan from Target Philippe Vergne from Walker […]
Ryan Bradshaw pointed me to Future of Music Book. The entire first chapter is on how music is like water and how some of the richest companies in the world are water utilities. Hmmmm – reminds me of something I wrote.
As a follow-up to How to Build a Business from Podcasting I thought I’d share this with you: There’s a case of Ice Mountain bottled water in my kitchen (the extra big case from CostCo). There’s also 2 Brita pitchers in my fridge and 4 Nalgene bottles – of different sizes – in the cupboard. […]
The wife and I spent this past weekend in the middle of Wisconsin. We’re both particular about our coffee and we both enjoy joking about measuring distance in Starbucks.

Had another conversation yesterday about how podcasting can help business communicate and connect both internally and externally.

Rob over at Business Pundit posts on How Broken Windows Can Kill a Business. As always, insightful. I’m a big fan of fixing the small things. Not only does it make a change easier to implement, all big things are made of small things, so the big things start to take care of themselves. The […]
Greg Lindsay over at Business 2.0 linked to the Working Pathways’ economics of podcasting post in his Podcasting’s Nonstar System article. “An unknown number of those Apple-made microstars will convince themselves that they hold a first-mover advantage in an untapped medium…Eventually they’ll fail, and they’ll fail faster than ever before…For the first time in the […]
