Li and Bernoff believe that the evolution of social computing is creating a permanent, long-lasting shift in the way the world works, in which people use technologies to get things from each other instead of from companies.

So what did you think of the webinar if you attended it? It would be great to have some comments and / or questions here...
But do these opportunities really exist, or am I just falling for the hype / bubble around web 2.0?

I'm beginning to get my ideas on social capital a bit clearer and on 2 October will be sharing them on this Kennedy Information webinar.
In particular, I'll be covering:

The article combines Goleman's thinking about about social intelligence (the bottom two squares in Goleman's model of emotional intelligence) with Boyatzis's ideas on how leaders can create resonance with others by becoming attuned to the needs and dreams of people they lead.

If you were on yesterday's webinar, over at Knowledge Infusion, I hope you enjoyed it.
If you weren't, the slides and recording (available until 26th September) are here (if you're not already registered at KI's centre of excellence, you may have to do this first, but then if you're at all interested in HCM, you need to be on there anyway). And I know there'll be some more discussion on the COE, that I'll be joining in with, over the next few days.

I talked briefly about prediction markets in yesterday's Digital HR webinar, delivered with Knowledge Infusion (and I would have discussed crowdsourcing as well, if I'd had time!).

I've just been reading an excerpt of Jeff Howe's new book, 'Crowdsourcing' on wired.com.
Howe defines crowdsourcing as the act of taking a job traditionally performed by an employee and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people using the transformative power of today's technology which allows communities to be formed by shared interest rather than vicinity. This enables the power of the many to be leveraged to accomplish feats that were once the province of the specialised few.

Good session at the RSA last night looking at greed and inequality in Britain today.
The session was opened by Polly Toynbee, author of a long-term favourite text of mine, Hard Work: Life in Low-Pay Britain, and who has just co-authored Unjust Rewards with David Walker.
Among the various facts that Toynbee presented were that although half of earners earn under £23k, only 10% earn over £45k. But these people still don't feel rich.

While in Dubai recently, I had an opportunity to catch up with Steve Vaile at H2O New Media, a UAE based and focused web development company (the contact was suggested through a comment on my blog).
Steve gave me a good summary of social media and its use in the UAE:

Bersin also notes that many social software providers have formed partnerships with Microsoft around its SharePoint product, allowing the two applications to compliment each other.
In some ways, Sharepoint is a competitor to these systems but the vendors have realised that Sharepoint is so ubiquitous that it makes sense to coopt it rather than compete against it. In addition, Sharepoint is being positioned as a business productivity rather than a social application.
