Today I was invited to participate in a round table at the European Parliament. The agenda is to discuss - with lots of journalist - the issue of “Blogging and Ethics” on Sept 12 of this year. As you know I’m quite reserved on the issue of comparing bloggers and journalists. I don’t think that they have much in common.

I always wondered how it feels to have a vision. Now I’m feeling I have one but I don’t bother how it feels it’s there and that counts.

To find a point where work is not considered as something external to your life thus work becomes just a tag with historical meaning. To accept that you need to acquire techniques in order to achieve things that are out of reach without those little helpers.

to be very short: I’m in the midst of founding a firm that will provide consulting and development in the field of enterprise social software. The main focus will be on webpublishing apps that support knowledge- and information sharing.

An article that provides a fine round-up of what’s going on between people, devices and the web. Nicely written with a sense for historic roots and recent developments. You can almost feel the change that is at our doorsteps. A must-read for those that follow the early adopters and visionaries.

Social Machines: “Web 2.0″: the transformation of the original Web of static documents into a collection of pages that still look like documents but are actually interfaces to full-fledged computing platforms.”

[...]When computing devices are always with us, helping us to be the social beings we are, time spent “on the computer” no longer feels like time taken away from real life.
