Open Web Asia Conference '08

There are so many conferences in the USA and Europe now, covering the inter-related zones of Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, Social Media, Blogging, New Media, that it's hard to keep up. But judging by the promotion for an upcoming event in Seoul in October, I don't think there has been much happening in a coordinated way in this space in Asia, until now. I posted about this today on my Des Walsh dot Com site.

Paul Chaney, this week's Blogger of the Week at Social Media Today, says he tried blogging not long after Pyra labs rolled out Blogger in 1999 but couldn't make sense of it until he started blogging with Typepad in 2003. Paul also blogs on the WordFrame Blog.

"For some reason that time it clicked," he says.  "I started blogging based on my insatiable curiosity about all things Internet technology related. By that time, I was reading a few bl...

I happened across an iMedia Connection article from back in 2006 that I felt had bearing on the use of social network platforms like WordFrame today. It discussed the difference between "communities of interest" and "communities of practice."

"A community of interest is an online community where the primary value is based on the personal or social interests of its members. Examples include MySpace, YouTube and Flickr," stated the article.

I posted this on my blog at DesWalsh.com but I certainly wanted to post it on the WordFrame blog as I find the topic quite interesting and important. Here we go:

Do you have a challenge keeping up with all social media tools? I certainly do. And maybe I need help.

Clearly I’m somewhat in overload, going by an experience this morning of trying to subscribe to one and finding I was already subscribed. In fact, when I got them to send me my ...

I'm famous (in my own mind) for using an analogy to describe business use of social media which I refer to as "getting a table of their own." Looks like that is what's happening and will continue with great prevalence, according to a report from eMarketer titled Social Networks Get Down to Business.

The article indicates that businesses will pay $40 million to buy ad space on social network sites this year, a figure that will grow to $210 mil.....

I was delighted with the announcement last week of the new Advisory Board for IBNMA - the International Blogging and New Media Association. Not just because I’m one of the people on the Board, although that is indeed an honour and a privilege, but because I see the appointment of the Board as evidence that [...]
