Mapping out the neighborhood
Here are recent additions to my neighborhood tour:
Walter Chaw is writing the most entertaining and instructive series of movie reviews that I have seen.
Paul Cox brings mathematics and common sense together each month.
Jim McGee is one of the pioneers out in knowledge logging
land. He understands a lot about the individual experience of knowledge
work, about the interaction between people and organizations, and
regularly digs up or comes up with insights and wisdom on how change
happens in organizations.
Phil Wolff's brain is
obviously on hyperdrive. He spends a lot of time thinking about the
evolution of blogging, most often from a strategic standpoint. He also
keeps tabs on blog numbers.
- He can see far, and with a wide angle.
- I suspect Vision is his middle name.
- He's good at making up post titles.
- He's not that good at making up blog titles. ;-)
- He likes bullet lists a lot.
Andrew Odlyzko writes very well-documented and coherent papers on the evolution of communication.
He warned against the impending telecom bubble burst back when people
were claiming outrageous rates of Internet traffic growth. He's not
afraid of using historical precedent that dates back centuries to
reason about the implications of the current networking revolution. And
he wrote the memorable Content is Not King. He has the nagging habit of being right.
Steve Lawrence helped build the kickass CiteSeer (ResearchIndex) academic paper harvester/search engine/citation analyzer. Plus, he gave me a cool Google t-shirt.
Benjamin Franklin
was an American journalist, publisher, author, philanthropist, public
servant, scientist, diplomat, inventor, and revolutionary. He didn't
patent any of his inventions (which included bifocals and an efficient
stove), so that the most people would benefit from them.
