Creative Chaos - Dina Mehta’s Weblog 
We’re now working with another tech company on a research project which will include blogging and the use of twitter for both participants and researchers who are located all over the world. Some issues we’re grappling with:
how much coaching and of what kind is required for those participants who are not actively using blogs […]
Thought I’d share something we worked on last year - almost at the same time Twitter came into its own. and before we thought up Twitter for Ethnography.
We spent some time developing an SMS-Blog research prototype with Srinivas Mogalapalli at Netcore (Rajesh Jain’s company), built upon the MyToday SMS platform.
This was a module in […]
…. does this breed exist? I got a call today asking whether I would like to blog on a freelance basis for an Indian software start-up, on their site. They sent me this email when I turned it down, and requested that their name is kept out because “we don’t want to advertise we […]
I was at a meeting today, and I learnt that Orkut is banned by the organization, but not Facebook and LinkedIn. I was told this is true in many organizations in India. The perception is that Orkut is frivolous and people spend lots of time playing. The funny thing is, I have never spent […]
Jeff Jarvis talks of the success of a network and a platform in the context of Glam.
Glam, represented by the larger circle on the left, is a network. You’ll see clusters made up of smaller circles, representing their content areas: fashion, beauty, fashion, lifestyle, celebrity, teen. Inside each of those clusters, if you squint, […]
Like for Jon Husband, this article by Dion Hinchcliffe really resonates. I’ve always been a huge fan of Dion’s visualizations of models and frameworks - check them out at Flickr - and I couldn’t resist just reposting these two here:
from SLATES:
to FLATNESSES:

Jim Bert, VP of Business Development from Webcrossing took me through a demo of Webcrossing Neighbors the other day. It’s a functional and tested plug-and-play social networking platform that the company provides for groups and enterprises. Reminds me of Facebook in many ways … lots of customizable pages […]
When a woman thinks about her body and beauty she is sensitive, and when a product is new or gifted to her, it is often embarrassing to say, I don’t really know how to use it. By not talking to her or enabling a conversation with her, you actually make her wonder whether you […]
Jim McGee is celebrating his 6th blog anniversary. Congratulations Jim! He writes:
“This space is a place where I try to get my own thinking straight and a way to immerse myself in the ongoing conversation of others trying to get their thinking straight. Some of them think in like-minded ways, others in very different ways, […]
There’s been some recent discussion around whether Word of Mouth and Viral Marketing are indeed different. In my view, viral marketing is the outcome of word-of-mouth recommendations. And it’s not surprising to see Asians rely a lot on word of mouth in this study from Neilsen that reveals some interesting trends:
- 7 of […]
Got this link from Tara Hunt’s links - a good primer on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Motivational Model originally developed in the 40’s and 50’s with adaptations from the 1970’s (cognitive and aesthetic needs added) and 1990’s (transcendence needs added). The basic premise of the model is:
Each of us is motivated by needs. […]
Valeria Maltoni asks, Why the media is not telling your story - where she suggests, “beat the reported to the punchline and write your own story … and your destiny.”
In addition to learning how to tell our story well, I do believe that part of the problem is we are so flooded with so much […]

This post was triggered off by David Armano’s share on Life in Beta. I like living life in beta. I like working in beta too. Mosoci has a beta sign against it, for that reason. So does our Brand 2.0 bootcamp. Many people at the Women’s Forum asked […]
Olivier at Headshift has a good post titled “Enterprise 2.0″ Performance: Exploitation or Exploration?” Reminds me of a post I had done way back in 2004 called Revisiting Knowledge Management - Presence, Communication, Collaboration = FLOW. And that was pre-Twitter, pre-Facebook, pre-so-many-new-web-2.0-tools. How amazing it would be if we could turn […]
| "Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" Guy de Maupassant |  |
