Brad Hinton reflects on collaboration potential
I met up with Brad Hinton between sessions, and he gave gave me a quick interview on my portable videobooth (more about Videoboo here). We had read each other's blogs, but not met before. These chance encounters are another delight of OnlineInfo.
One of Brad's interests is the scope for collaboration over distance now available for dispersed teams... [read more]

Ewan says online has to be fun as well as useful
I caught up with Ewan McIntosh just after he had facilitated a session, and asked for a recap together some take away thoughts. He said first, you can't just build "your place" and expect people to come to you - you have to go where they are online. And then you have to make the experience fun and entertaining.
Earlier Ewan had blogged ahttp://edu.blogs.com/edublogs/2008/12....... [read more]

Review of the tag surfing experiment
As I reported here, at the start of Online Information 2008 Ed Mitchell and Emma Wallace invited people arriving to write post-it notes about topics they wanted to discuss, then grouped them, and organised table discussions.
At the end of the first day I caught up with Ed and Emma for review of how it went.... [read more]

Steve Dale offers a CoP lesson learned the hard way
Steve Dale specialises in Communities of Practice, and was planning a session at Online Information 2008. Unfortunately timetabling problems meant he had to leave - but not before I invited him to use our videobooth to record some insights from his work.
Earlier Clay Shirky has emphasised the importance of telling stories of what hadn't worked. Steve was able to come up with one - and the lessons he drew...... [read more]

Clay Shirkey - let's learn by looking at what hasn't worked
After a terrific opening keynote at Online Information 2008, I asked Clay Shirky, author of Here Comes Everybody, about how the behaviours we are learning online about sharing, collaborating and acting collectively are now playing out offline. I'll have that video soon.
I also asked about his recommendation that anyone investing in exploration of new opportunities should do that in small piece. What w...... [read more]
Steve Dale:
Well done in grabbing some air time from Clay Shirky. I think he's spot on regarding the storytelling approach, which is a far more engaging way of learning than the traditional knowledge repositories of best practice, good practice and case studies. Whenever I encounter a website with a 'knowledge library', I know what to expect - ranks of similar looking text-filled templates with enumerated lists of do's and don't do's. How much better to have a multimedia narrative. It's about time the millions of knowledge repositories hauled themselves into the 21st century and started to think about how to keep knowledge fresh and dynamic and not just a catalogue of increasingly irrelevant case studies.

Tagging for table discussions
As Emma Wallace says here table have been organised around different topicds. Earlier I talked to Emma and Ed as they were setting up the boards and post-it notes to manage this.

Emma Wallace:
Interesting social experiment from my perspective - I was sitting at the back near two tables - the Taxonomy, Ontology, Folksonomy group and the culture, power and change group. Small groups did form around the tables and did start to discuss the tags but not on a huge scale.
Another observation - those who didn't want to participate ended up talking to strangers on the "only a cup of tea" tables. There was definitely a lot more conversation going on - I sat back and listened and I felt the noise level was higher than the earlier session.

Social reporting at Online Information
Hi all - is anyone else interested in how to use short video interviews and blog items to capture content at events, and also add to the conversational buzz? I'll be doing that with my colleague Ed Mitchell and other volunteers, making up a social reporter team.
However, in this world of user generated content we are hoping that anyone else interested will join in.
Nearer the day we'll be posting ideas on how to do that, but for the moment ...... [read more]

This is the first year i've brought a laptop with me - & its already proved useful to look more closely at search engines & sites talked about in Chris Shermans workshop.
Whats different about being at online with a Laptop? position in the room - previously i'd site myself with a good view of the screen - now i need proximity to a power outlet more. I can save and bookmark things i want to investigate straight into a folder to follow up. I can twitter away and alert colleagues back in the office to useful content they can follow up.
In answer to your post - happy to take the social network further - yes.

Exploiting the expertise that information professionals have
I'm convinced that now is a good time for information professionals to demonstrate their value to organisations by taking charge of ensuring that knowledge is mapped and transfered as people come and go. I've found that libraries are conduits of information between teams, and are best placed to make connections between people and information to inform decision making in new circumstances. I'm always optimistic about the importance of informati...... [read more]

Testing in a way - but wot? No RSS
Trying to get the hang of Crowdvine and not finding it very easy. Too accustomed to Twitter and Facebook perhaps.
Is there an RSS feed for the discussion area? I am not going to log on several times a day on the off chance that something is happening here.
Ed MItchell:
Hi Karen,
if you click on 'discussions' in the green bar you will be taken to the 'all discussions' page. At the top right of the list of discussions you will see the RSS feed sign, to which you can subscribe.

Welcome to the Online Information social network!
We've set up this network to help facilitate better networking for speakers and attendees around Online Information 2008. We hope you find this useful - although with all such initiatives you will only get out of it what you are prepared to put in.
Please complete a detailed profile and start making connections with fellow attendees and speakers you want to meet.
See you at the conference!

I am totally lost! Cannot fathom how this is supposed to work. I am off back to Facebook and Twitter for the time being. Maybe need a few G&T's to get the brain thinking laterally on this.

Hi Karen,
sorry to hear it - I have written up some suggestions on this post:

But the feeds aren't updated and I am not sure where one starts a discussion. There seem to be bits and pieces everywhere.
