Today I listened to a podcast from HBR ideacast about wikinomics. The podcast covered a bookreview about the book ‘wikinomics’ from Don Tapscott and Anthony d. Williams. The book is about the way mass collaboration changes everything. Today stuff is not created by a small team of people stuck inside the boundaries of a company but is created by millions of people collaborating wiki-style.

In the book there is A brilliant example about a mining company giving away the most precious information to get more profit. At the site there is a sample chapter you can read. I am going to read the book, when I am finished I will give a review over here.

Well since monday I am trying to pull together my network and I am pleased that it is working quite well. To date 36 people have accepted my invitations and still some 15 outstanding. The speed and ease of use are working well.

Now the question is, my girlfriend already asked ‘what are you going to do with this?’. A good question and I do not know the answer yet. For now I am just trying to make my network bigger and just wait and see what happens.

Maybe only getting in touch with old collegues and friends. E20 style the application will get clear while the path is getting longer!

Well, today I spent al lot of time sending out invitations for linked in. I hope some will answer! Today I am having a day off to do some stuff for my new home. We are moving in march so I made a lot af arrangements today. I got a new powersupplier, ordered an oven, ended some aggreements and started some simple services.

Nowadays you can do a lot by phone and internet. I practically did this in two hours. connections are far more easy then they were some years a go. Companies have many channels they use to communicate with their clients. Networks and communication technology combined make live much easier. Your own network gives some adresses that you can trust and do fast business with!
