"Bearing in mind that we are of the same nationality, I don't expect to win the book (it would seem... inappropriate). But I'll use the chance to mention that I enjoy reading your blog and respect your work. Even if we are of different opinions re Google Wave ;-) No kicks from me. But wait till we have another chance to meet in person! Cheers, Mate!" - Lech

I bet people had to be explained what email was back in the ol' days. But it stuck. - Lech

Interesting movement. - Lech

Gratulacje! :-) To Ty mi kiedyś o czymś podobnym opowiadałeś? Wyraz potęgi Internetu, IMO. Fajna sprawa! - Lech

My to zaprojektowaliśmy i zbudowaliśmy. Zaproponowaliśmy też różne możliwości promocji. Ale klient chyba najpierw chce próbować trochę partyzancko do tego podejść. Moim zdaniem jeden produkt typu tani iPhone i samo się rozejdzie. ;) - siteimpulse from email

good - Allen Stern

Small companies can gain an advantage by training their employees on effectively using Social Networking. I know one business that has several employees using it and that usage is increasing their leads and sales. "Employers" is often defined as Fortune 100/500/1000 Corporations. - Internet Strategist

Ask yourself this — do you find this painting obscene? There are no warnings regarding it’s placement in the museums all ages gallery. And why is it not ok to show the backside of painting of a woman in a museum, but it seems perfectly fine for people to show full frontal nudity of the famous statue of Michelangelo’s David? isn’t it a double standard for Flickr to say that great art of females ought to be treated differently than great art of males. The basic problem is that the Censorship Division at Flickr is unchecked. They’ve been given unlimited power over who sees our images and who does not. Flickr relevancy to our culture is too important not to resist these intrusions. Censoring great works of art is an insult to all photographers and artists. Like the Victorians of yesteryear who ruined many sculptures by plastering fig leafs over their private parts, Flickr wields the censors sword flippantly and seemingly without consequence. This is bad for morale, bad for Flickr/Yahoo’s... more... - Thomas Hawk

Not obscene to me, but that of course depends on your cultural background. What I believe the web needs are 'global' standards against censorship and a strong institution to enforce them. Both of which is probably a long way from being put into place. E.g. I think in the US those issues are pretty much left to the companies while in Germany we would ask government or other officials to... more... - Jens Holze

How true! - Lech

"It's nice you pointed that out, as it sure seems specific for Twitter (or perhaps all 140 chars' services). I don't see the point in discussions on Twitter. The context is hard to find, the amount of people involved makes it difficult to follow. Some do. But from time to time I have a quote, a reflection I want to jot down for myself, and perhaps others will find it inspiring. Just as in the case of links (see above). For me it's actually more handy than a notebook. Cheers! Lech" - Lech

Indeed. I wonder how much of it stays. - Lech from iPhone

This isn't much, don't you think? But then, there's nasza-klasa.pl which basically is enough for most... - Lech

Thomas, where is this? - Rachel Lea Fox

Impressive and inspiring. - Lech

They don't make 'em like this anymore. That's a GOOD thing. - Bob Young

orange!!!! - drew olanoff

I have mixed feelings as far as such tests are concerned (can we really measure a person's value), but the article is well worth a read - Lech

And then, we might be moving to an era of independent knowledge workers. With tools of mass communication within arm's reach... - Lech

Wow. I'm in the sweet spot. - Ted Gilchrist

Thought: I don't know why I didn't notice this connection earlier, but look at Asian culture and Western culture. Asian parents spend all their money on their kids well into their 20s, while western parents sometimes kick their kids out of the house after high school graduation. 30 years later, some Americans don't even hesitate to send their parents to nursing homes when they hit 80 or whatever, whereas in Asia nursing homes are virtually nonexistant because this would be unthinkable. I agree independence is a good thing, but maybe Americans should slow down a bit. What goes around comes around... - Ryan Child

And then you have such inventions like "reverse mortgage" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...). Europe does not put so much pressure on independence as well. - Lech

"Thank you for referring to that one, Pawel! Darned, I'd rather not answer your question... ;-) Let me just say that I was a fan of my job when I started it. I believe that an individual's PMA is for the common good. In teams a "disillusioned" member can do a lot of harm. A negative / wavering leader - probably even more. But then, what you write is true. True from my experience, that is. And regarding your friend's approach - here's a quote that I came across today: "Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream" - Malcolm Muggeridge. Fits? Again, I'm not innocent myself. But then, any illusion we maintain... is not without a cost, is it? Life is permanent, work - probably not. Cheers, Pawel! -Lech" - Lech

I wonder if it's now possible to use an iPhone to connect a PC to the Internet... - Lech

Brilliant! Another great alternative for Google Reader addicts ;-) - Lech from Bookmarklet

"1. Definitely a distraction for the listener. 2. Definitely interferes with the pace of the speech. 3. Definitely shows inadequate preparation. Strong words, I know. But then, imagine a singer who would break in the middle of song to do a series of “ummms” and “uhhhhs”. It just doesn’t fit. My recommendation - use a tape recorder, use a tape recorder, use a tape recorder. I bet one who uses filler words, after taking the listener’s perspective, will consider working on it Thanks for the reminder! Greetings! -Lech" - Lech

Interesting stuff. - Lech

Great article from a man with perspective and wisdom. - Lech

"Give http://poptech.org a try too. Cheers! - Lech" - Lech

"Great summary! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Every now and then I’m reminded about the necessity to balance between the three: 1. Tasks [completion] 2. Team [building] 3. Individual [needs] Especially when ‘the dip’ is around. Greetings! - Lech" - Lech

"Food for thought, as usual! Thanks, Pawel! In my case, it's the kids that remind me, where my place is, where I should be. I even bought a PM domain the other day (or was it January?). Time becomes such a scarce 'resource', especially closer to the end of one's life... erm... project. Cheers! -Lech" - Lech

"Hello! Just to be sure I follow well enough - do you want to say, that project managers from the supplier's side are more likely to respond "yes" even when this means increasing the risk of a delay? Thanks for your entry! Greetings! -Lech" - Lech

this is spectacular ! - przemek

Indeed, this is breathtaking! - Lech

Getting a startup funded isn't easy... Most people I’ve spoken to say it takes a solid 4-6 months to raise money. - Lech
