100th post! signposts for XXI century visibility- a directory

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

Well, it started in February, and now it reached 100 postings. And 150 twitter postings (between @robertolofaro and @aleph123).

As you know, this is a knowledge-sharing platform, not the usual 2-minutes-a-post blog.

This post is something slightly different- and it is also an announce.

This Summer, I will publish an updated version of my work on the introduction of new media and technologies in business processes, including both profit and non-profit/government/institutions.

Meanwhile, to celebrate the 100th post on this blog, I enclose a “virtual library” of references: books, links, short advice.

Enjoy! And post any comments via direct messages to my twitter @robertolofaro

GMN2009: Next- beyond the skull

Monday, May 25th, 2009

We moved from the concept of model, change, and project, to their application in ordinary business life, and to create something with relevant potential social impact, on both businesses and people- the Human Genome Project and the future brain mapping.

But all this covered only the “Genome, mind mapping” part of the title.

Neural networks are both a concept and a technology, and the impact is already visible in some decision-making activities, and in everyday technological products and services.

What could be a further development? What are going to be potential impacts on how we organize, structure, decide, act?

Again, some simple lessons derived by the computer between your ears.

And, I promise: I will not create any neologisms- I will use what is already available on the market- actually, in science.

This post is part of a series, first published in May 2009.

Social networking: first book

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I am glad to announce that my customer officially released the book I contributed to via my company PartnershipIncubator.Com.

The contribution was a concept on social networking online in marketing, extracted from research prepared over the last few years.

The book has been focused on “digital natives”, and you can order online online your own (free) copy

But being part of their book was only the first (sideline) step toward completing the publishing plan.

instant gratification politics

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

If you have been following my blog for some time, you know that I am relatively old (born in 1965), and that I saw since my childhood political campaigns- before being part of my first ones as a teenager.

And now, we are moving from long-run politics, to a new model.

Instant gratification politics.

A brave new (virtual) world

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

this document is just an introduction to the subject, and therefore it is in a “bullet list” format, with a main issue introducing each bullet list.

it was presented on 2008-09-28 (WGAW Registered) as a proposal for concept for a chapter on “social networking: security issues”, as part of a wider book on “network security”, but eventually I had to withdraw from consideration my concept.

my original material is published here, with some limited changes, due to the evolution of the subject, and to make this posting as self-contained as possible.

Gated communities

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

My American friends will certainly assume that I am referring to locations like, say, those towns that allow only residents above 50 years of age.

And this is a partially correct assumption.

Without knowing, you too belong to probably more than one “gated community”.

Political campaigning in the XXI century

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Recently (October 27th 2008), an e-zine whose editor is a friend published an article on Senator Obama use of Web 2.0 campaign. (The article is here, but only in Italian).

Which lessons could be derived? Here is my commentary, with links to relevant material.

Leaving the “Italy” network

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

as you know, I spend quite a sizeable amount of my free time defending my country- and it is quite unusual, for somebody from the Left of the political spectrum, in my country.
Few years ago, I wanted to bring back what I learned abroad, and helped to create few startups and improve the operations of [...]
