Virtual business

Here’s an article about businesses glomming on to the virtual worlds thang…

Doris Obermair interviewed me at the Picnic conference in spring 2007, and now has posted an edited version in which I talk about the effect of the miscellaneous on business. (With Spanish subtitles.) (By the way, I list videos here.) [Tags: ]

Hugh McKellar at KMWorld has posted a long interview with me about the miscellaneous and business. Hugh is a good interviewer, and I am a long-winded interviewee.

Terrific post by Stu Henshall about what sounds like a fantastic talk by Dave Snowden (whose blog is here) at KMWorld. Dave combines the broad and deep with the incisive and the practical. Yikes! (Don’t miss the four posts from Dave that Stu points to as “must reads.”) [Tags: dave_snowden stu_henshall kmworld ]

Want to see quickly what sorts of things interest the Denver-area Angel Capital Summit? Visit the tag cloud.

It’d of course be interesting to track this cloud over time, or in comparison  to other groups of investors’ clouds, or to venture capitalist clouds, or to social responsibility clouds…

Brand Eins interview

Brand Eins magazine has run Steffan Heuer’s interview with me about all things miscellaneous.

You will be impressed by my flawless German, thanks to the magic of speaking in English and being translated.

Russell Roberts, professor of economics at George Mason, has posted an interview with me about Everything is Miscellaneous. (Fortunately, he doesn’t ask me anything that requires my knowing anything about economics.)

Bill Sodeman, a professor at Hawaii Pacific University (tough gig, Bill!), says it’s “a mind-bending book about the modern Web, with serious implications for competitive strategy.”

Kes Sampanthar of Beyond Brainstorming writes: “If you are at all interested in the history of information and how we as humans have struggled to come to terms with the world, then this book is one of the best I have come across. It is well written and a pleasure to read.” He provides an extensive summary of the book, with reflections.

Christopher Maier writes, “when you come across a book that makes you look at everything a little longer and a little differently, you’ve found a rare and good thing.” He then applies the notion of the miscellaneous to the Human Genome Project.

Sarah Mahoney, in an article in Marketing Daily, reports that American men suck at shopping in groceries because we’re overwhelmed by choices. We need more order in the aisles. “Lists are a big part of the problem” Mahoney writes… (The article is here but you need to register, for free, to read it.) [Thanks to Joe Turow for the link.]

The latest in the Miscellaneous Podcast series I’ve been doing, sponsored by the Berkman Center and Wired, is now up at Wired. Craig Newmark (the Craig of CraigsList) and I talk about why strategic planning can get in a business’ way and the value of working with limited resources. [Tags: ]
