For the last few years I’ve been using, what I call, none traditional methods to build a network. That means weblogging, podcasting, LinkedIn, emailing, commenting, instant messaging, wikis, and other online tools.
15 years ago, before attending a conference, you might connect with a few contacts to let them know you’re planning to attend. It might [...]

I added a banner to my blog today, 10,000 Miles to ETech, because I plan to post a lot to the blog over the next couple of weeks while on my trip to O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology conference, and a jaunt in San Francisco.
Seriously, it’s 10,000 miles. 2042 from Perth to Sydney, 7419 from Sydney to [...]

I’ve mentioned already in this weblog that I think it’s worthwhile using the Internet to network for business. I focused on weblogs, because it’s very simple to start, but it’s by no means the only way to build a network.
One reasons, among many, for socializing online, is it’s becoming more important to the latest generation [...]

There’s a blogosphere skirmish brewing online. Duncan Riley, of The Blog Herald, another Western Australian weblog, got on the wrong side of Robert Scoble today. He doesn’t agree with the idea of full text RSS feeds; it reduces his revenue from his weblog advertising.
I’m with Scoble on this, I unsubscribe from RSS feeds that are [...]

Clay Cook at TechUncut is starting a regular meeting in Perth for people interested in Web 2.0. It’s a fine idea, and I wish I’d thought of it, but his wife Rachel is a tad too quick. She beat us all to the punch.
So, Clay’s plan is to call the event a Web 2.0 TechUncut [...]

I’m starting to get frustrated with Guy Kawasaki. He is posting insightful stuff thick and fast, and this weblog is becoming a shrine to his entries. However, I had to mention his latest post, How to Suck Up to a Blogger, and suggest another bullet point.
He has some valid points, and I laughed at his [...]

Yesterday, while reading Guy Kawasaki’s tips on creating a community, I stumbled across Robert Scoble’s comment that the most important part of building a community is hanging out with it.
I agree that it’s an important part of the process.
The intriguing part of the conversation in Scoble’s comments was that a few people suggested how difficult [...]

I never thought I’d say this, but Eddie McGuire knows what he’s on about.
Eddie, having recently taken over as Chief Executive of the Nine Network, has his plate full given the rising number of entertainment choices we have today. However, he seems to have a clue, if his statements in today’s Australian are anything to [...]

Guy Kawasaki is a well repected venture capiltalist in Sillicon Valley. He wrote The Art of the Start : The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything, which is a must read for anyone starting a new venture. So when he writes on his weblog, it’s well worth a read.
I chatted with him on The [...]

I’ve created a Geek Dinner event at Upcoming.org for March 11 in San Francisco.
I know a lot of people will be at SXSW, but I’m guessing plenty of people won’t be able to go. So if you’re interested add yourself to the list attending.
