If you’re working in a big group, you’re fighting human nature
via Signal vs. Noise by Matt on April 24, 2008
When you’ve got a small group, you don’t need to constantly formalize things. You communicate and you know what’s going on. If you have a question about something, you ask someone. Formalized rules, deadlines, and documents start to seem silly. Everyone’s already on the same page anyway.Ten-groupsAccording to British author Antony Jay, there are centuries of evidence to support the idea...

Quote of the Day: New Knowledge
via Weblogg-ed by Will Richardson on April 24, 2008
... more concerned with using published knowledge as a path to exactly the right source or sources that can create new knowledege tailored to a new situation, in real time.”While this is in the context of national security and intelligence, I think it’s applicable to the ways in which we think about networked learning, which is why we need to publish what we know and share it widely.ShareThis

The thing about 'free'
via Seth's Blog by Seth Godin on March 11, 2008
I posted an internship yesterday. The idea was to combine the "you pay to come" model of summer camp with the "we pay you to do low level work" of an internship to create a learning experience for students that was, split the difference, free. I felt like a free program would represent a combination of our effort and the interns. Free, though, is not the average of paid and paid for. Free is...

Little Known Hacker News Is My First Read Every Morning
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on March 10, 2008
Hacker News is a Digg/Reddit-like site that I am visiting more and more often. It’s my first stop in the morning, and I check it out a few times during the day as well. Why? Because it’s focused mostly on startup and hacking news, which is what we cover. It’s one of the best places to find information on startups we haven’t heard about yet. And, better, the community is jerk-free....

Digg Users Are Doing Their Best To Kill An Acquisition
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on March 09, 2008
Digg users tend to get pissed off about a lot of things. Any story about Microsoft, for example. Or anything that criticizes Apple. Usually, the ability to bury stories about non-mob-approved topics, combined with the comment area under headlines, is enough of a release valve to settle things down. But not always - and Digg has a track record of surrendering to the mob when things get really...
