Too good not to share……

I implore everyone to read World War Z by Max Brooks. This is the best book about war and survival I have ever read; it just coincidentally happens to be about Zombies. Do not let the science fiction aspect deter you from a visceral tale of global conflict and the fightback, it is conveyed through an on the scene reporter’s interview notes and the style really draws you in to the widespread nature of the war. It also has really good bits about shooting people in the Brain.
Walls Come Tumbling Down….

Radiohead once more strike a critical blow into the cold dark heart of the record industry. You can only get there new album on download only and you decide how much to pay. I still paid £5, this shows how conditioned I have become by overpricing, I actually felt guilty about paying 5p. Hopefully this will drive the industry into an even further lowering of music prices; mind you does anyone actually buy CD’s anymore?
Things We Like….

The site is currently undergoing an update to take away the impression that this is purely a Bluetooth solution, but having downloaded the platform I can confirm it appears to be a really good social network tool that moves the network away from the desktop to the mobile. The profiling tools really open a lot of opportunity for tie in to many different social networks and applications which should give the solution a wide appeal to operators and communities alike.
Linked In……time to take the lead.
September 28, 2007
There is no doubting that Linked In is a fantastic site, probably the best business network there is. However in my opinion so much more could be done now that they have such a loyal and large user base. They recently took the huge step of allowing you to upload image files to your profile so perhaps they are now ready to embrace further innovation. I believe that an integrated IM client would be a fantastic addition, obviously proper privacy and status settings would be appropriate to ensure it was not abused. This would bring a very immediate nature to the network and connect ideas and concepts globally.

Intriguing new search technology
September 14, 2007
I have been speaking with Manoj a lot recently about all things social, his new company edocr has a new spin on the search space. Edocr creates a search community around work documents and as a result can provide a very helpful database for pooling and sharing specifically work related knowledge.
Huzzah!

What is going on, there is an unusually optimistic and sunny vibe around English Sport at the moment. Heskey and Owen seem to have shown the way to form an effective partnership, who would have thought a big man and a little finisher could work, i mean come on…..As for Paul Collingwood, they make em tough up North and when you ally that to the most talented English sportsman of his era in KP then this team could go places.
