The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version)

Must see video on how Web 2.0 will change the nature of communication and collaboration. It's a great tutorial for anyone looking to understand what people mean by Web 2.0 at a high level.

An Amazing Source of Knowledge

In the advertising business, pretty much everything we share with our clients gets put into PowerPoint at some point.

So writing persuasive presentations is an important craft. Which is why I am so excited about www.slideshare.net . It's a truly amazing source of great presentations on about every subject. I have found some very helpful thinking on there. Check it out.
