freemium – offering basic services for free, while charging a premium for advanced or special features – is one of the most important models at the moment, followed by the B2B model. - Tim Aldiss

Over the next eight posts, I am going to be serializing a white paper which was developed last year by the Convergence Culture Consortium on the topic of Spreadable media. This report was drafted by Henry Jenkins, Xiaochang Li, and Ana Domb Krauskopf With Joshua Green. Our research was funded by the members of the Convergence Culture Consortium, including GSDM Advertising, MTV Networks, and Turner Broadcasting. - Tim Aldiss

"Online communities provide a new way of working; and are more about the people than the tools. They are a catalyst to changing behaviour, routines and habits in order to improve social productivity" - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"As of Jan '09 there are several manufacturers providing a conversion on the Fiat/Peugeot chassis. All of them are more or less identical, with slightly differing levels of quality of interior finish. Annoyingly they are also almost all identically priced. Below is a table of comparison data from all the current available models as well as some small comparison images of internal and external (where currently available)." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"A lot of people say “Twitter is what you make of it.” I find that to be very true. If you send out links to your site, or try to push your products or services, you’re not liable to get as much out of it as someone who gets to know people before they talk about business. If you ask for advice or competitive information, but never share valuable tidbits when you come across them, you’re not likely to reap the same rewards as someone who is known as a generous sharer." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

Management itself, the art of planning, organizing, deciding and controlling, will fall by the wayside. After all, planning is suspect in an unpredictable world. Organizing takes on new meaning when things self-organize. Deciding is everybody’s business when networks rule. Control is a nonstarter in a bottom-up, peer-powered society. - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"What makes Toyota's effort interesting is it doesn't feel like it was scripted by suits. The hypermiling challenge contains an element of mystery that draws in readers. The bloggers acknowledge there's a chance the stunt may fail, and the appearance of a "whatever happens, happens" attitude from Toyota conveys the company's confidence in its product — something other car companies don't have the stones to pull off." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"In addition, KM practitioners have had to combat confusion caused when software product vendors and service companies rushed to capitalize on the initial wave of knowledge management popularity. In their eagerness to profit on the “flavor of the month,” they rebadged their products with the phrase “knowledge management.” The confusion was exacerbated by the rise of the Internet and the irrational investor exuberance of the brief “dot com” era. In those days, it was difficult to make sense of the vast number of new services, products and technologies. This caused great misunderstanding and KM was often caught in the crossfire. Today, Knowledge Management has met these challenges and has emerged as a reference discipline, albeit one that is still developing. But confusion and lack of awareness still plague the discipline, as one would expect in a practice merely 10-15 years old." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"The Federal KM Initiative Committee proposes several actions be taken. As mentioned above, the Committee is an organ of the Federal Knowledge Management Working Group. This group comprises Federal and private sector knowledge management practitioners with an interest in making knowledge management work in US Government. We stand ready to support each one of these objectives. The signature page following the prefatory letter contains the names of others who have agreed that these actions make sense." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"Welcome to Pitchfork's best of 2008, which kicks off with our favorite 100 tracks of the year. As we did in years past, we've extended the candidate pool beyond the confines of singledom-- basically any song released or covered in 2008, whether a single or not, was fair game for this list." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"Like search? Who doesn’t — great traffic, huge brand value and an audience ready to convert. Like social media? What’s not to like — huge growth, tons of buzz and an entire new marketing frontier that is opening up. For the search marketer looking at social media, how does it measure up? Which social media sites are most “search like?” This article looks at the issue and tries to chart it all out for easy comparison." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

Barack Obama won the presidency in a landslide victory (by a margin of nearly 200 electoral votes and 8.5 million popular votes) by converting everyday people into engaged and empowered volunteers, donors and advocates through social networks, e-mail advocacy, text messaging and online video. The campaign’s proclivity to online advocacy is a major reason for his victory. - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"“We’re losing all our corporate memory,” wailed Meredith the CEO as she cabbed back to the office with her executive assistant, having attended her third retirement dinner in as many weeks. Her assistant shrugged, not really seeing what the boss was getting all worked up about. “There’s always somebody that can take their place,” he thought." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"For many years I’ve been saying that I didn’t like the term “knowledge management” as (a) it was fundamentally an oxymoron, (b) there was no consensus within the industry as to what the term meant, and (c) in many companies the term carries negative connotations due to a perceived lack of value from earlier so-called knowledge management efforts and/or belief that knowledge management was a fad that we have moved on past or has been absorbed into other disciplines. On top of this add claims by many writers that the term has been hijacked by technology vendors, management consultants, or academics." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"The argument I am making is that nearly all human systems are complex in nature, and thus need a radical new approach to design. To do that, we need to establish some basic principles of system design, informed by complexity theory." ... "Distributed cognition means far more than the more popular phrase "wisdom of crowds," which is a misnomer because crowds can be more foolish than wise. Distributed cognition means using network intelligence." ... "Over the next few months, I will explore the application of those principles to narrative-based, user requirement capture; the use of archetypal persona to inform design and rollout; co-evolutionary approaches to application development; the use of formal, ritualized dissent to increase the resilience of applications; and finally project management." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"Current design methods need a radical rethink. We must shift from a fail-safe design to safe-fail experiments."... "Hindsight does not necessarily lead to foresight" ... "We need to learn to live in a state of requisite ambiguity in our strategic lives at work, as we do without issue or conscious thought at home and with friends. " - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet

"In dealing with difficult tasks, a group of ordinary people can do better than a group of experts, if they are more cognitively diverse. To put it more accurately, if you take two groups of people of equal ability and they are trying to solve a difficult problem, and the people are able and willing to work together, then studies show that a cognitively diverse group of people will do better than a group of people who are cognitively similar." - Tim Aldiss from Bookmarklet
