At higher risk of having good ideas

Patti Anklam collects some good links (to online "paper" media) and ponders the changing nature of creativity, stimulus and innovation in social networks. Patterns and tasks aren't new (homogenity rarely breeds new ideas, being broad loosens the focus) as are the potential structural solutions (connecting disparate networks with knowledge brokers, importing, promoting and adapting ideas, the need for boundary-spanning importing of ideas ...) - but like Paula comments it's a sort of canary to see if we're doing our internal social networking (or our hanging out on the social media scene) right.

  • If you have a “closed” network, where everyone pretty much knows or knows about each other. A good aspect of this connectivity is that the network can serve as a filter — multiple tweets or retweets about a topic link usually means it’s worth following — and its possible to generate a common language. However, it’s not likely that the richest source of creativity — two unlikely ideas coming together — will occur. You need (or the organization needs) to have connections outside the group. As Burt puts it (using one of my favorite phrases ever, the title of this blog), “People who live in the intersection of social worlds ‘are at higher risk of having good ideas.”

Twitter's Ten Rules For Radical Innovators - Umair Haque - HarvardBusiness.org

Umair Haque distills learnings and "messy heuristics" for innovators from looking at Twitter, watch out for the very interesting comments too.

Snippet taken from the comments:
"twitter is an interesting bug. people claim that they "get it", but don't participate. they often cite that they don't have time."

Google Wave Asks, Do You Like Your Project Collaboration Hard or Soft? - Managing Technology - Dennis McDonald's Web Site

Another worthwhile analysis of Google Wave, this time by Dennis McDonald who focuses on Wave's potential to support a more ad-hoc informal (soft and fuzzy) mode of collaboration by helping communication, especially in project management (read this together with Dirk Röhrborns learning of using microblogging oin project communcation)

Google Wave - It's Time for the 'Real Time' | Andrea Vascellari

Andrea writes a nice compilation of why Google Wave is cute (and collects some E 2.0 points "en passant"):

Snip: "rich set of extensions APIs that can let you build pretty much anything from games to collaborative applications inside wave, to integration with other communication systems (like twitter, etc.), to integration of waves into work flows"

Yes, that's it.

How does Microblogging affect Project Communication?

Dirk Röhrborn of Communardo is sharing their experiences with using the microblogging tool Communote in project communication (he's citing previous posts that deal with the mechanisms too).

Several implications, like e.g.
# Digitalisation of Micro Information
# Tool Shift (I like this, showing both the complementary nature of microblogging in the Enterprise **and** that its low barrier of entry is easing communication overall)
# Information Awareness
# Efficient Meetings and Fast Reactions
# Support for Project Managers
# Knowledge Sharing

The enterprise implications of Google Wave | Enterprise Web 2.0 | ZDNet.com

Dion analyzes why Google Wave might be of importance to Enetrprise 2.0 people - and argues that it's very fitting to our concept of FLATNESSES.

I fully agree and am definitely looking forward to kicking the tires of Google Wave.

Snip "Google has launched many communication services since its inception yet none of these have had such obvious business utility or attempted to reinvent the collaborative process from the ground-up."

Google Wave

Snip "Google Wave is a new communication service previewed today at Google I/O. "A wave is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more."

One example of the many blogposts concerning Googlees new play, Wave. I noted some more general links in my blogpost herehttp://www.frogpond.de/index.php/archive/why-is-google-wave-a-tsunami/

Google Wave: What Might Email Look Like If It Were Invented Today? - O'Reilly Radar

Tim gives a good rundown of Google Wave - as always more action is happening in the comments. There's a discusiion touching bases on many accounts (Think Ray Ozzie's Grrove, Jon Udell's Practical Internet Groupware and more), what it all means to Facebook, Friendfeed and whatever (personally I think that it's more of a threat to Facebook and not so much to the lifestreaming idea of Friendfeed)

So, given that that the toys of today are the (enterprise) tools of tomorrow, what do we make of this as Enterprise 2.0 people?
