By Stella Gassaway, stellarvisions | Published: December 31, 2008
I was asked: “Where does col­lab­o­ra­tion using tech­nol­ogy begin?” Hmm, social net­work­ing is truly a dis­rup­tive tech­nol­ogy when one thinks about it espe­cially in the work­place. The con­trolled and hier­ar­chi­cal aspects of most work­places think col­lab­o­ra­tive tech­nolo­gies are the next big thing to jump on.

Got a tweet from Carl Mala­mud today that led me to this arti­cle about Mar­tin Wat­ten­berg. It’s always great to read about a whole yarn­ball of my inter­ests at one time.

What is “overshare”? You know.
