• The Cloud Isn’t Safe?! (Or Did Black Hat Just Scare Us?) – Sarah Perez provides a nice summary of the security hurdles the Cloud still has to overcome.
• Getting Started : eLearning Technology – A nice summary from Tony Karrer on the importance of KISS when implementing 2.0 tools in an organization. Covers many of the same elements we cover in Enterprise 2.0 bootcamp and even includes on of Dion's graphics.

• Enterprise 2.0 Blog » Blog Archive » There is No Such Thing as Culture Change – Venk’s original blog post that sparked the debate on culture change (see next bookmark).
• Venkatesh Rao and Stowe Boyd on E2.0 Culture – Stowe Boyd interview Venkatesh Rao about his keen ability to voice broad generalizations that push peoples buttons and generate conversation in the Enterprise 2.0 space. In his latest he proffers that an organizations’ culture cannot change so it must wait to be destroyed from without instead of changing from within. Scary stuff for all the Organizational Development and Industrial Psychology professionals (not to mention the leaders trying to lead change in their organizations).
• Why Wikis? : Wikis in Education : THE Journal – Ruth Reynard provides a great overview of how wikis are the latest technology to effectively support the the goals of instruction at various levels

• Asynchronous and Synchronous E-Learning (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE – Great food for thought on when you should use asych vs. synch in your learning design. Especially important in coming up with a balanced blended design.
• The Three-E Strategy for Overcoming Resistance to Technological Change (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE – Another nice perspective on change management strategy for implementing new technologies.

• Progressing Through Change – Introduction – Great (if I do say so myself) online tool you can use for free to see how you or your team are progressing through the changes your organization is facing. Chock full of tips to help you or your team work through change successfully.
• The Unsociable, Radically-Individualist Soul of Social Media – Another thoughtful (and lengthy – I wish I could commit to typing like Venk does!) post from Venkatesh Rao explores the psychology of people who are successful in "social" media.

• SpeakerRate – For all you public speakers out there: SpeakerRate is designed to help you promote the talks you’re giving – and get that critical feedback you’re seeking.
• Six ways to make Web 2.0 work – The McKinsey Quarterly – More about Enterprise 2.0 than Web 2.0, McKinsey provides a great business primer on how business leaders can leverage social tools to improve company performance. It is telling that of the six ways, 3 address organization culture, 2 address processes, and one addressed technology. Supporting again my assertion that culture is the biggest challenge of the E2.0 3-legged stool.

• Communities of Learners Redefined: Customized Networks That Impact Learning
• Is your Organization Talent Ready? – Margaret Schweer (from nGenera) post a very nice summary of how talent is changing in this flat world. Great introduction to how people must work differently and Next Generation Enterprises. Note the link at the bottom to a survey you can take to assess your own readiness to contribute.

• Set in Our Ways: Why Change Is So Hard: Scientific American – A great article from Scientific American on the biology/psychology of why people are naturally resistant to change. Interestingly, it claims people are more tolerant of change during their 20s and then again after 60.
• Pew Internet: Future of the Internet – Pew Internet research releases the results of its survey on the future of the Internet. Much as expected, with the exception of one finding that surprised me: "The transparency of people and organizations will increase, but that will not necessarily yield more personal integrity, social tolerance, or forgiveness." I think we may see more tolerance overall as everyone moves to "wearing a transparent kimono."

• TogetherLearn – From the site: "togetherlearn is a turn-key platform where knowledge workers can collaborate, solve problems, converse, share ideas, brainstorm, learn, bond, talk, explain, communicate, conceptualize, tell stories, help one another, teach, serve customers, clue in partners, keep up to date, meet, flirt, shout, forge partnerships, build communities, and distribute information."
• A Critical Choice Regarding Innovation – O’Reilly Radar – Good post from Tim O'Reilly regarding innovation and the drivers behind it. It reminds us that collective intelligence is strong in problem solving and knowledge gathering, but there are other drivers at work behind successful innovation
• Enterprise 2.0: Identify Problem, Find Solution, Then Tools | SocialComputingMagazine.com – Stephen Collins (who I had the great pleasure of teaming with to deliver Web 2.0 learning in Australia) posts an insightful entry on how technology is only the enabler for successful Enterprise 2.0: "Enterprise 2.0 is about the tools least of all – it's principally about people and organisations, the cultures within and among them…"

• Quiz: What Should You Really Fear? – A quiz based on the recent book by Dan Gardner reminds us that mass media is making the most of irrational fears while less newsworthy real risks are underestimated.
• Social Media: Get Productive with Social Media (and Stay Sane) – OK – I still have yet to find a productivity gain from them (other than building personal brand), but Steve Rubel shares his three steps for reaping productivity from the typhoon of social chatter tools.

• The Amorality of Web 2.0 – Rough Type: Nicholas Carr’s Blog: – Nicholas Carr's 2005 post that postulates Web 2.0 social knowledge capture (Wikipedia fo instance) may have a net negative effect on society by displacing more expensive professional alternatives. (And boy is he right about blogosphere echolalia).
• Groundswell – Winning ia a World Transformed by Social Technologies – A great page supporting their Groundswell book, includes two ten-minute clips of Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff talking about how companies can use Web 2.0 technologies to empower people in their organizations (Enterprise 2.0).
