March 9, 2006 Lynda Future Trends 1 Comment

GlobalisationThis is a great article . Read it here.

The blurb says: “Globalisation has been a great liberator — but it also poses a threat to Western professionals”.

As a group some of us at TomorrowKnowledge are reading ” The World is Flat ” by Thomas Friedman. It is a book I recommend as a great read for any person who wants to have a clear understanding of why the world has changed so much. Do we have to wait for Potholes to appear in the road before we make the changes necesaary to fix the road?

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
