Here’s a few of the things that caught my eye on the blogosphere this week. This is sort of a way to apologize for the lack of proper posts (which I’ll be going back to as soon as I come up for air):
The latest ALA is all about Everyblock and some of the things their team learned building the service. There’s some genius nuggets behind the way they build maps and a few suggestions for accessible data visualization using standards.
Alex Iskold over at ReadWriteWeb wrote a great post about the new ways of Business Development , focusing on leveraging the social media and new ways of communication. I wrote a post about the new ways to engage last week as well which you may want to read if you haven’t yet. And around the same area, Brian Solis has a good post on PR 2.0 .
Mike Butcher at Techcrunch UK has an insightful post about VC in Europe which you should read if you’re an entrepreneur on this side of the Atlantic. Mike says europ...

Image by mndoci via FlickrI should start with a disclaimer. My studies in the US have been limited to graduate school, so a lot is hearsay and gut feeling.
Fred Wilson writes about hacking education . First, he echoes something I believe in strongly
education is possibly the most important thing we can do for our world and our children.
Education is the ultimate equalizer, at least a good one, and more importantly, the right now. The one that is composed for formal school educati... more

A few years ago, not a lot of people used RSS, and those that did, didn’t really subscribe to that many feeds. We limited ourselves to a small set of sites and sources to keep up with because of the limited nature of the tools we used (browser bookmarks, and our memory for remembering URLs). We’re now at a time when the tools exist to help us not have to remember.
This could be you, right?

I’ve been (and so has the rest of the team here ) pretty quiet during the last few months.

Two years ago, Robert Scoble and Shel Israel documented in “Naked conversations” how blogs where changing businesses and their engagement with consumers. 2006 was in fact what you might call the year of the company blog. Companies left and right, big and small, opened blogs to engage in conversations with their costumers and fans.

This is not my typical post - be forewarned. It has little to do with entrepreneurship, innovation or technology. It is, though, about the “computer” in you - your brain. It’s Jill Bolte Taylor’s speech at this year’s TED, that was posted on their website a few days ago, that I just finished watching. Jill Taylor is a neuroscientist that experienced a stroke a few years ago and gets to tell the story.
Now, before the video itself. The way Dr. Jill Taylor describ... more
