It's taking me a while to get back on track with regular blogging after an almost 4 months hiatus. Robert McCloskey Someone hailing from a culture that extols/practices collectivism might be more willing to see the commonalities in a forum thread discussion and respond to those, drawing together the collective ideas of the participants.

Following Harold Jarche''s example of Friday''s Finds , I thought where better to collate and synthesize my week’s learning from Twitter than on my blog. Here’s the first of the series. Training is primarily about “enabling to do.”

I was introduced to the work, ideas and blogs of most of the speakers via Twitter. I jotted these down as they occurred to me and have copied them here. Without edits. I wouldn't be attending this conference if it weren't for social media. What I have learned in the last 3 years have been completely via social media.

Rangaswami , in his blog The Confused of Calcutta , describes it thus: When a human curates, she does three things. The key here is to remember that each content piece is a social object around which conversations will evolve, further content will be generated and ideas surface.

The fundamental characteristics of individuals who formed these communities were their willingness to share their thoughts, view their ideas, express half-baked opinions and begin conversations - in short, working out loud or "showing their work". I blogged about Getting Started with Working Out Loud. Is there fear of ridicule?

Brainstorming, adding to ideas, just randomly throwing ideas around such that one blends with another, and then thrashing them all out to come up with that gold nugget cannot happen if everyone involved is not in the same room. It's a great discussion topic and there is already a very thoughtful comment posted.

While this has been a momentous career shift for me, I may not have written a blog post on it except for the learning. As I mulled over these rather shocking, almost blasphemous, aspects of Agile, I thought it would be a good idea to pen down my thoughts and put them forth for inspection and feedback.

Working out loud ranges from specific, objective-driven collaboration (as in the case within project teams) to just sharing of thoughts and ideas with the wider social networks. SlideShare : Presentations are a great medium for visually capturing complex thoughts and ideas. When is it most useful to use SlideShare?
