I consider myself a technology junkie. I would be surprised, for example, to find someone who actually uses the Yellow Pages when twice as much information can be had in half the time online It's just so easy... as the user, that is.

I've been with Denver DataMan for exactly one week and am just beginning to find out what it takes to get the right information to the right people at the right time... and to make the user think it's easy. Thank goodness it's Friday because my brain is full!

I found some interesting videos from Seth's Blog about social networking and blogging.

Here is a link.

Ever wonder how they make that new tech thing so small? Ever complain that you laptop battery does not make it the whole flight? These are the questions that a business person might ask when they are designing new technology. When Coby Leuscke makes something new he wants to know he can make it smaller, lighter, faster and run with less electricity in the harshest conditions on earth.

There is great technology that is getting better every day where you can see others in real time from anywhere in the world but when I hear the idea broached that we might have virtual doctors this just does not sound right. This is a short reminder that social networking is a great tool but only to augment in person communication not eliminate it.

What does not scare me is the idea that if doctors have a rare case that they can consult with each other through a network or build connections to share trends and case information. This is how knowledge grows and flows!

In the past two posts I have written about getting people to pay attention I have written about social networking where sort blasts of information are the way you get people’s attention. We will go back to that next week with Twitter but for this week I am writing about Blogs where we share several paragraphs of content and sometimes more with our readers. Blog stand for Web Log and it is good to think of it as a place to log activity and share thoughts.
