My public is here:- http://www.bloglines.com/public/PeterDawson
As secondary method, I also have alerts via gmail for specific terms
that I need. For e.g you can have the term" pinko" as part of your
alerts. In this manner, I really get the long tail effect from even
from a "-Z" lister :)- In short, I make and break the alerts based on
situations, patterns and trends of interest.
At another level, we all immerse ourselves in groups like these :)-
..and then I aggregated all the "as it happens" on the web, and auto
pipe into my handheld - for info on the go :)-
Thanks for all the great suggestions. Looks like I've got some
exploring to do. = )
Another is method to physically finger !!
Within groups, I see you have membership to 3 groups-- pinko,
barcampnyc and barcamp. Whenever, I spot interesting seeds of thoughts,
I also take a casual profile lookup. This gives me clues on the extent
of participation with an arena. Spend 5 minutes doing this on a
profile and you will see a wonderfull tapesty forming, as you digg
deeper in and around the profile ...
In one way its social engineering :..which actually can produce the
"medici effect" in terms of interections of thoughts between two
unknowns ! :)-
In my world the core assets are "human beings", with the premise that
they live in the "web". These two seed, weird results, and my find's
are at times really bizzare and fun for me. This produces a certain
circle of knowledge which does not fit any thought before..
concrete example for fun :)-
http://www.google.com/search?q=confidential+%22do+not+distribute%22&hl=en&lr=&start=0&sa=N
and then I am asking myself the question -which part of "do not
distribute" --that these folks did not understand ??
Then I find yourself saying - ok so they did not understand- so what
are we to do to make them understand !! IMO, this is a pinko thought
process, because this leads to build pathways to enriched the
communities within the sphere of the web....
I am still learning .. not sure where this journey of mine will
lead..but all I can say its a hecka ride and I am enjoying myself.. and
THAT is PINKO .. !!
ps - if i find out you read my blog i BUY you a beer!
