One Minute = One Hour.
Yesterday, my TEDxEast (New York) colleague and I hosted the first ever webinar in the TEDx Learning Series (that we coined) for TEDx organizers literally around the world.  Of course I was ambitious to take on my first webinar with such a broad audience, but our evaluations were off the charts, so...
It’s been 13 years since I felt that way.
We were in a plane between Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska during another week-long tour of some remote part of the US during the presidential campaign in 1996.  That year, we did 74 cities in 28 states in 10 weeks.  And we did it without data-enabled cell phones.   Really, how did we survive? On that...
TED
I’m working on an idea that involves TED, and needless to say, I’m energized by it.  TED is a terrific web site (and may I say culture?) where they claim “ideas worth spreading” through 18 minute talks, videotaped and posted.  By the way, do you still videotape in the digital...

Twitter: What are you doing?!
Twitter may just be one of the best little applications on the web. It is in the most elementary form a social networking site that allows you to talk about yourself. A micro you out there for the web to see. A slice of your day or a window into your business. Twitter allows you to send out “tweets”...
Online Video, TV and You Tube
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBd36ijuY78] If you haven’t at least heard of You Tube, you must be living with my parents in their retirement community. Watching videos online is the fastest growing activity of all trackable activities on the web (and I’m not sure there is anything...
Wiki Baby. The collaboration tool (without meeting).
Meeting The old way to work together on a project was sit down in a meeting room right? Then it got harder because folks were never around at the same time or even in the same town, so we started emailing each other and it all went to hell rather quickly as information was all over each others inboxes...
The way photos live in 2.0
1930 Flickr is an amazing site. It is a photo and video hosting website that was one of the first Web 2.0 applications. When I discussed Shutterfly, that was a part of the Web 1.0 generation, as a closed site (meaning photos were reserved for ordering, viewing and manipulating for those who uploaded...
