What is a community and how to nurture it – CMAD Jan 26, 2015 – 09:00 GMT
I have been involved in community management from day one and I can pride myself on training a great number of Community Managers from the very early days of social media, that is to say when it wasn’t even called that – way. CMAD (Aka Community Management Appreciation Day) is probably an ideal opportunity for […]
The *real* Internet of Things
Part II of my minutes of the private Youstice meeting which took place in Prague on October 18-19, 2014 is devoted to another subject: the Internet of things. “The more we can experience owning our own lives, the more beneficial technology can be for us” (Doc Searls) The Internet of things is, in my […]
