From social media to personal networks, all new media and technologies play an increasingly important role in how we understand and handle our increasingly complex lives. Media, news, video games, communication theory, philosophy, and other areas contribute to my understanding of the role of technology for learning. But learning is not confined to colleges and universities. For those in the forefront, the ability to form networks has now become nearly 
How do you find out rapidly which blogs are mentioning you or linking back to your recent article? If you are new to the world of online publishing you may still be trying to figure out how to search and be alerted when other sites out there are going to link or mention you or your web site. How do you track and monitor citations and link backs to you? 
Traditional content publishers, those who have yet to embrace and understand fully the logic of the web, have been utilizing their legal arms and small army of lawyers to fight, discourage and destroy anything that appeared as a slightly moving object in their trajectory toward total control of their distribution channels.

Writing blog posts that get the maximum attention, is not an easy task. Sometimes it gets even to be counterintuitive, as, more often than not, I have realized that posts I wouldn't have bet a dime on, got incredible exposure, visibility, links and traffic against all of my own presupposed expectations. How is that then, that what you value most sometimes is appreciated least and what you consider easy or

Social media marketing can be toughest thing to grasp if you are not heavily active and exposed to the many new social media communities blossoming out there. It's a wild world of fascinating new stuff and I do understand that for most it may look more of a waste of precious, rare time than a really significant advancement in your ability to extract some value from this possible new activity.
But,

Understanding media, new technologies and learning is the best investment that can be done when in search of interpreting if and how the world we live can really still be changed. It is at the intersection of these vast realms of interest areas that there is huge new progress to be made. It is by studying the ways in which we communicate, create and pass on our knowledge to our 
Monetization and business opportunities for online content publishers are increasing and opening up new alternative ways to do well in the online professional web publishing space. Unfortunately, most publishers, bloggers, and now even my favorite content business analyst, John Blossom, see things from a rather limited and too restrictive viewpoint. In their eyes, unfair redistribution of content, feed scraping and little innovation in business model connected to online content is 
Persuading people to buy, to sign-up for your newsletter, or to download your supercool new PDF, it is much harder than internet marketers would have you believe, and to obtain tangible successes it is generally not enough to have a great product and to be able to sell it online.

If you the bandwidth, check out this HD video when blown up to 
Online collaboration tools keep coming, and the more of them I see, the more I feel collaboration is going to be a major, critical part of our future work. Contributing collaboratively, sharing, co-editing, co-distributing, are becoming more and more standard features and facilities in every single new application being released.
