Information rag and bone men who curate the weak signal and the long tail. Why not apply this to information and knowledge? | EUEN SEMPLE APRIL 3, 2013 Love at The Commission First of all I discovered an immense source of information related to so many areas in our work. This wonderful article, reproduced with her permission, by Maria Podlasek-Ziegler at The European Commission totally nails why social matters in organisations. Love’ at the Commission By Maria (DG EAC). And I thought ‘this time you cannot escape’. | | | | | |
| EUEN SEMPLE FEBRUARY 11, 2013 Defend your mess One was formal and managed, the other was informal and emergent. Half way through the life of our bulletin board at the BBC we came under pressure to make it more structured. Most of the early adopters, myself included, were happy with the really simple structure and organic growth that had helped it find its place in the organisation. | EUEN SEMPLE APRIL 8, 2013 Organisational anarchist or corporate jester? Use it as a huge magnifying glass to see why people are not sharing information and helping each other out. 'Phillipe Borrowmans just posted a great post about the possibilities of truly social business which he titled "We need more Corporate Anarchists". Why not use social media to truly open up an organization ? | EUEN SEMPLE MAY 11, 2012  Paperless Field Guide Paperless Field Guide was my first experience of reading an interactive book created with iBook Author and what a great experience it was. | EUEN SEMPLE OCTOBER 6, 2012 Facebook vs your IT department Walter Adamson posted a really interesting article about the scale of Facebook and the way it is able to support terrifyingly large amounts of information, constant high levels of activity, and global reach to 1,000,000,000 people with almost 100% uptime on comparatively modest resources. | | | | | | | |

EUEN SEMPLE | TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 2013 Farming the meatware
We know that Facebook makes its money out of the information we share and the patterns that that information makes. To varying degrees we are uneasy with that trade with the devil that we all indulge in to get "free" functionality depending on how Facebook treats us and our information.

EUEN SEMPLE | MONDAY, MAY 27, 2013 A healthy outlaw approach
We do this not to create a veneer of protection through cynicism, but so that we can meet the powerful structures that inform our existence on equal terms, and in a real conversation of equals.

Big Data is the latest wave of oversold and under-understood hype to buffet people. MORE >> -
EUEN SEMPLE | FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2011 A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace - John Perry Barlow
Your increasingly obsolete information industries would perpetuate themselves by proposing laws, in America and elsewhere, that claim to own speech itself throughout the world.
