June 2nd, 2006 — Informal Learning, Just Jay, Web 2.0
Putting together a trade magazine takes longer than you might think. Nearly three months ago I wrote this article for the June issue of CLO which arrived today.
Re-reading the article, I thought to myself, “Something’s missing here.” Below the fold is the article as submitted, with lines through the deletions.

Google products always come equipped with features that makes them better than what came before. Google Notebook, just released, is no exception. Like Del.icio.us, Google Notebook enables you to click and save items you encounter on the web. Unlike Del.icio.us, Google Notebook grabs text and graphics in addition to a URL.
This is easier to see than to explain. Here’s a Google Notebook on Informal Learning I just put together in a couple of minutes. Imagine the possibilities. You can create as many Notebooks as you like, enabling you to assemble virually any collection of goodies from the web with scant effort.

Denver is beautiful. View of the Rockies from the 31st floor of my hotel.
The Colorado History Museum is a reminder that Colorado is more pioneer and cowboyish than Texas.
Tomorrow afternoon I’ll be conducting a 75-minute unworkshop at ASTD TechKnowledge in Denver. Come on down. It’s in the Capitol Ballroom 5/6 at 1:45. My topic is Blogs, Wikis, and Self-Service Learning. Since I won’t be using PowerPoint, I’m going to stash a few pointers here.

Tonight about 40 of us attended a Blogger Dinner at Taste of the Himalayas, a Nepali restaurant in Berkeley. It was too noisy to hear and too cramped to move arounnd. Steve Gillmor walked in, couldn’t find a seat, and walked out. I had interesting conversations with half a dozen people, a disappointingly small number for one of these events. Most folks were from Berkeley or Oakland. Scott Beale kidded that he hailed from the West Bay (AKA San Francisco). Steve Hill maintains a beautiful cycling/travel site.
Was this a Blogger Dinner or a Geek Dinner? Sylvia Paull, who hosts Berkeley’s weekly Geek Breakfast and hosts occasional Nerd Walks, seemed to prefer Blogger Dinner, so that is how I will refer to it. In the comments appended to the event announcement, I asked, “Is Berkeley becoming the epicenter of the blogosphere?” to which someone immediately responded, “It already is.”
These are the business cards of Reg Cheramy, a Canadian fellow who writes Web 2.0 Central, sort of Michael Arrington of the north. Get it? Tags. Tags are what makes Web 2.0 rock.

If you’re attending ASTD TechKnowledge in Denver, drop by my session at 1:45 on Tuesday 1/31, for a preview of the workshops I’ll be offering starting next month.
We’ll set up a blog, play with a wiki, talk about informal learning, mash it up with Web 2.0, and give you something to take back home.
As consultants go, I’m relatively cheap. Pick up my tab at The Buckhorn, and I’ll answer any question you can throw at me. Just look at this menu: rattlesnake, Rocky Mountain oysters, buffalo, elk (elk!), quail, and gator tail, served up in a saloon right out of Gunsmoke.
December 23rd, 2005 — Web 2.0
My friend Werner Trotter dropped me a note saying, “I want to direct your attention to another nice and interesting search tool called Swicki, that is community oriented and driven by the collective intelligence of the community.”
From the blurb on the Swicki website:
A swicki is new kind of search engine that allows anyone to create deep, focused searches on topics you care about. Unlike other search engines, you and your community have total control over the results and it uses the wisdom of crowds to improve search results. This search engine, or swicki, can be published on your site. Your swicki presents search results that you’re interested in, pulls in new relevant information as it is indexed, and organizes everything for you in a neat little customizable widget you can put on your web site or blog, complete with its very own buzz cloud that constantly updates to show you what are hot search terms in your community.
Try it! The Swicki in the right column searches Internet Time Blog(s), Workflow Institute, jaycross.com, and more.
