In 2009, Elinor Ostrom received the Nobel Prize in Economics for her ?analysis of economic governance, especially the commons?. Since then I've seen a number of different versions of her list of the 8 principles for effectively managing against the...
Between the business of the March/April conference season and leaving Blackphone, I've run out of business cards. Rather than rush to print a bunch of new ones, I'm created this mini-resume for digital sharing and a two-sided Avery business card...

Over my lifetime I have experienced a number of tools for ignition. Tools that have empowered people and created movements. Here is a story of some of them. BASIC (1976) In 1976 I experience my first tool for ignition: Bill...
Today is Blog Action Day, where each year a topic is chosen and bloggers and activists worldwide write about that topic in their blogs or post about it on Twitter and Facebook using the tags #FOOD and #BAD11.

With Google+ almost two weeks into its test phase, conversation about this new social network service seems to be going in circles. Literally. That?s because Circles is the Google+ feature that users are generating the most buzz about. It?s Google?s answer to the problem of organizing your social graph online. If you?re not familiar with a social g...

Of course, it is often actually less direct then that: I loan you the camera, the community knows that I am generous, and when I need some editing time on the ch...

Passwords are very important for maintaining your online identity, because they ensure that no one else can access your accounts and do things that you wouldn't do. As such, you should make sure that your online passwords are as strong...
[intro skipped] One tool that I've used to manage these odd-sized groups in the past is what I call ?The Braid???. It is derived from a group process called the Caf? Method, of which The World Caf? and Conversation Caf? are excellent examples. In The Caf? Method, people meet in smaller groups around tables, and then flow from table to table sharing...
