What I've been reading ...

I thought I would share with you the posts I've read over the past few days (from Google Reader, Twitter, etc)

The first comes from Learning Solutions Mag which discusses how people can be very excited about a new innovation (be it technology or something else) when other people find it scary ...



This blog discusses an organisation's lack of hierarchy. Could be scary for someone like me who likes working in a structured workplace, however, I can see that it could work well for some businesses.

Anne's Spot on serendipity:

Serendipity helped me discover people, concepts,  and ideas that I would have never known before

Anne reflects on her experiences of using social media. I find her experiences quite similar to my own.

Harold Jarche is always a good read. I like the way he talks about personal knowledge management/networked learning. He's been working in this area for many years and for me is my mentor. This read is about why he blogs.

Like Harold, blogging has become a means of making sense of my personal knowledge management/networked learning plus it enables me to share my thoughts with you, my dear readers.

Why do you write a blog? Who do you connect with to learn serendipitously from? How do you 'sell' social media to others without scaring them?
