Cognitive Edge – A New Blog. Dave Snowden is starting a blog. Who is left now? I talked with Dave about blogs in Feb 2005 at Braintrust in San Francisco and he was very skeptical. Now he has come over to the blogside with Cognitive Edge. Dave has been on the conference circuit for years but now has settled in Singapore for three months and started this blog. It will be interesting to see what comes out as Dave has always been an entertaining speaker. I see that he is moderating his comments (actually he is see not moderating - my misunderstanding - see note in the comment section) The blog is promoting his company by the same name. As the site says, “Headquartered in Singapore, Cognitive Edge Pte Ltd was created in 2006 to take on the work originally initiated in IBM as the Cynefin Centre for Organisational Complexity. Cognitive Edge has three main focus areas: 1. The creation of an open source approach to the development of consultancy methods 2.

For years, Richard Sambrook, the BBC's Director of Global News and World Service, has been one of the most popular bloggers inside the BBC. Now he's started SacredFacts, a public blog. As Euan Semple points out, how Richard balances his private views with his journalistic position will be fascinating to watch. This is especially true because, despite the fact that he inhabits a position that is the exemplar of what people mean by The Establishment, Richard is open-minded, clear-headed about what's happening to journalism, a born little-d democrat, aware of the power of the media to make the world better, ready to experiment, and in love with the Web. I've gotten to know him personally a little, so I'm willing to go out on a limb and add that there's no one better to have a beer with.
