Here's a great idea. What if your new rock group appeals to fans of the B52s? Or if your new book is just perfect for people who like Brad Meltzer? If you have a CD or a book or an idea that will appeal to a certain psychographic, it might not be so easy to reach just those people. Dave came up with a super idea: go buy a bunch of B52s CDs.

This shift comes on the heels of the previous cycle which brought us networked computing technologies for our enterprise applications and the Internet.

While I was in Portland Oregon last month I kept meeting people who raved about Ignite. "What's Ignite?" I'd ask. "Kind of like Pecha Kucha, but different," they'd say. Ignite asks the questions: What if you only had five minutes on stage to make your point? And what if you could use only 20 slides that automatically advanced every 15 seconds? The Ignite communities are interesting indeed and have developed quite a buzz.

It’s amazing - the more you read, the more you learn. I’ve never seen this video, but I think it’s brilliant. It’s a presentation given at Google by Ken Schwaber, who explains what scrum is (and isn’t), and why its a good idea. He’s quite a good talker - calm, collective, witty, good pace, no umms and ahhs, and no powerpoint! http://video.goog...Contribute comment -
