Kurre & Helge

Meetup: Over 2 million people are part of a revolution in local community! Time writes: “A convenient, non-threatening way to connect to other people who share similar interests and live nearby.”

 

 

Wikinomics

Today, encyclopedias, jetliners, operating systems, mutual funds, and many other items are being created by teams numbering in the thousands or even millions. While some leaders fear the heaving growth of these massive online communities, Wikinomics proves this fear is folly. Smart firms can harness collective capability and genius to spur innovation, growth, and success.

 

 

Communication

'The Communication Process'

There are four recognised steps in the communications process:

 

1. The message originates as an idea or concept

2. The sender transmits the message

3. The message is sent

4. The message is received

 

Marketing

 

It is a common belief that marketing for consumer goods is different from marketing for business-to-business. It is also widely accepted that marketing techniques for a small company with only a handful of employees is different from that of a multi-national corporation with thousands, if not millions of customers. These ideas are completely false. The only thing a large corporation has over a smaller company is that they can afford to reach more individuals.

 

If you want to make your marketing as effective as possible, stop talking about yourself and start talking about the individual who is reading your communication. The fact is, no one cares about you. People only care about themselves.

 

Music

 

 

Wikis are fantastic tools to allow for collaborative writing. Every visitor to a wiki can edit any page on the wiki. Editing is done in a very simple text language that is much easier to learn and read than HTML.

 

You can play around in the SandBox to get used to editing your wiki; you can also check out WikiStyle to learn more about wiki style rules. Enjoy!

 

 

Jotspot

 

Jotspot: New foundation for Google Office? Google, it seems, is buying rather than building a collaborative applications platform, first with Blogger, Writely and now with Jotspot -- and more to come. This can't be good for Zoho, ThinkFree and other cloud-based Office suites. It is, as David Berlind notes, a timely answer to the recent Microsoft/Socialtext collaboration.

 

 

I've been testing several wiki platforms. Jotspot is one of them. The Google move does please me while I can do more things in one environment.

 

1. Jotspot Wiki

2. Google Talk

3. Gmail Google Mail

4. Blogger blogplatforms

5. Writely for wordprocessin

6. Google Calendar

7. Google Maps

8. Google Earth

9. Google Spreadsheets

 

This is a very interesting development from my point of view. Social Collaboration is becoming easier than ever before and all this can happen on a global scale. - Helge Keitel
