We had a writer’s workshop a couple of weeks ago here at EMC. It was a great idea; we had a one day summit for internal and external authors, bloggers, wiki contributors, journalists and other general media contributors. We spent one evening and the whole next day not just discussing the intricacies, trials and tribulations of writing but also discussing some of the new concepts that are affecting our industry. It turned out to be a very interesting and informative day.
Barclay Blair, (the co-author of Information Nation), mentioned that blogs were dangerous because they represented “Spontaneous Thought Memorialized”. I looked at my Blogs and feel that mine are more like "a photograph of verbal diarrhea". This is probably why Barclay’s book is a best seller and mine…anyway.
I’ll be writing some more entries based on some of the sessions at the workshop over the next few weeks; look for articles on HSM across the cloud and maybe even some thoughts on Web 2.0.
