It is my 6 month blogiversary and I thought I would share with you my top ten posts to date.
#10) Business Social Networking- Social networking is coming to the business world in a big way. As I said here, traditional marketing is not where the power of new media will be fully realized.
#9) On Phenomenology and Web 2.0 – There is a whole new level of collaboration and innovation that is happening on the web and if you’re not involved you are missing it. Even if you’re reading blogs and watching what’s happening, you won’t be getting the full advantage the the social web has to offer.
#8) Follow-Up on WGI’s Internal Blogging – It was almost one year ago that Shel Israel met with Andy Snodgrass to talk about internal blogging at WGI. I had the opportunity to meet Andy and I had to ask him if anything had become of his interest in internal blogging. I was disappointed but not at all surprised to hear that nothing at all had come of it.
#7) Wikipedia is the best thing ever! – “Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world, can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.” – Michael Scott
#6) Communication Convergence – I love communication. I love online communication. This has lead me to do online PR, new media marketing, which lead to SEO, I do internal communications, work with IT people to develop intranet platforms. Helping people communicate with people online. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Who cares if it’s internal or external to an organization? Who cares what it’s called?
#5) Old Media’s Dead. Why Should New Media be Afraid? – As marketers scramble to figure out where to throw all that ad revenue social networks and other new media channels will rake it in. But for how long? How long will users continue to put up with interruption. How long before MySpace follows old media to the grave because users are sick of the free ring tone ads?
#4) Giving your employees a square peg and a round hole – The knowledge workers in your organization work in a very specific way. And that way is specific to each knowledge worker. Why would you hand each of them a tool that doesn’t work the way that any of them work? The answer, is that it’s easier for the programmers to design one tool, that works one way.
#3) New Channels of Engagement – We don’t have enough channels for the amount of information we have (and we haven’t seen anything yet). All of our old channels were designed in a different world; a world of limited information.
#2) Business Lessons From a Dead Viking – Erik the Red get’s banished from Norway after killing some people. He convinces a bunch of other Vikings to move with him, builds a flourishing European society in Greenland (after getting kicked out of Iceland for killing people). Then everyone dies. The End
#1) Top 5 Web 2.0 Collaboration Tools – Is it any wonder I decided to do another list after seeing my most popular blog post was a list?

Thanks for playing along. With this post I plan on taking a few weeks off from NewCommBiz. I plan on catching up on some posts over at TechBoise, catch up on some reading (blogs and books), and enjoy some summer activities with my wife and kids.
