This blog has been significantly silent, since there was so much other stuff coming in the way and not having enough stability to give it a decent quality. But as I have done lately, some updates on all my Typepad pro-blogging two out of three (Sustainopreneurship, DJ Anders) done, and this marks the third.
Themes for this blog has been set by the static intro page on www.43tools.com, and there are three main tag dimensions who intersect in this stream;
- Activities - Communicating, Collaborating, Creating, Networking, Organizing, Publishing, Resourcing, Meeting, Sharing ...
- Tools - Blog, Wiki, Social bookmarking, Virtual Office, Unconferencing, Email, Project management, Bootstrapping, Virtual hard drive, Gadgets, Virtual calendar, Web publishing ...
- Social Phenomena - Creativity, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Social media, Citizen journalism, Sustainability ...
In this little tag cloud it is very, very stormy, and keeping straight in the eye of this storm, is worse than to try to survive on a sand hill in a desert (or being funded by a venture capital firm from the road with the same name...). And to make a clearance when it is cloudy like this, you can end up being even more confused. In the bottom line I think we see a society that will undergo a tremendous re-institutionalization (i. e. replacing old institutions with organizational inspiration from the church, the military services or the university with new in the peer2peer networked society - that still takes shape in a chaotic manner).
To make all this abstract reasoning turning into something concrete, I will choose one of these three tag categories to structure a presentation of my virtual everydayness, and point to all the tools I use. If I choose "social phenomena" it gets to abstract. Those are thematic, rather than category to structure something around. If I use tools themselves, we get lost in categories where the means become an end. So - I rather use the activities, the core elements of every process they are a part of, as a support to make something semi-understandable. And human-information technology interface is in the core of what we try to capture with the term "social media", with significant process change on how you do stuff, alone and together.
And what could be more concrete to show my everydayness work environment - the browser screenshot? I have done it before, and now again. Things change, so this will be the fixed point to return to in a dynamic change. Taking departure from this screenshot, a series of blog postings will be published.
My virtual toolbox for...
- Communicating
- Communicating
- Collaborating
- Creating
- Networking
- Organizing
- Publishing
- Resourcing
- Meeting
- Sharing
So, all these will be subject of separate blog postings where connections in between the tools will be done in the posting, and the connection on respective social phenomena listed above done here and there in the postings and more deeper beyond going through all these activity writings.
