LinkedIn: Michael Gilbert

For several years, I've been waiting for there to be a successful open architecture (like the web itself) for the functions performed by so-called "social networking" sites. But all through that time, I received LinkedIn invitations pretty much every week. So, I've decided to relent and experiment with it a bit. Despite my many concerns (such as the way the company encourages and profits from unsolicited commercial email within the system), here is my profile. If you're on the system, please drop me a line there. Posted: 1/14/07; 10:52:08 PM #

A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods
	Lots of good sources have been linking this week to the excellent Periodic Table of Visualization Methods. While I'm not sure that the structure of the periodic table really adds meaning to the presentation, I've rarely seen a more engaging portal to learning about the extraordinary range of methods available for the visualization of information.

Roundup 2003: Technically Speaking

I had no idea the good folks at N-TEN were offering video segments from the plenary panel at their 2003 conference, entitled Technically Speaking. If I'm not mistaken, that was the last time N-TEN had colleagues of the audience in the opening keynote. (They've since moved to authors -- usually from the mainstream technology industry -- whose fame might draw more people to the conference.) The segments include "Funders are not Venture Capitalists," "The Carrot Story," "Why Evaluation is Hard," and "Sabateurs Affinity Group." Posted: 1/14/07; 10:45:54 PM #
