Podcasting, hierarchies, new blogs and raw envy
I have an article on the political implications of podcasting at Personal Democracy. It’s mainly about what podcasting is, and then it does the predictable political speculation. There’s a terrific article on the same topic at CampaignAudit.org
And while I’m plugging me, over at Worthwhile I just posted a couple of paragraphs about some really interesting work being done by Jessica Lipnack and Jeffrey Stamps on mapping business hierarchies.
And if it’s ok for me not to talk about myself for one brief instant, I’m enjoying Ayelet Waldman’s Bad Mother blog (thanks to Liz for the link)
Ayelet points to a terrific essay about writer’s envy by Kathryn Chetkovich. Why, just yesterday I muttered a curse about yet another author whose talent turns me crayon-y green. Oh, it’s a long list alright. Chetkovich’s essay is especially interesting to me because she refracts the topic through her position as a woman.
Hi David,
From your podcasting article…
“The real problem is that because it’s easier to skim print than multimedia, aggregators are going to have to get much better at helping us find what’s worth listening to.”
I’ve been doing some work on this over at GigaDial (http://www.gigadial.net), trying to make it easy to pick and choose for yourself, your friends or an audience of subscribers. It’s evolving rapidly — I’d be thrilled to hear what you think.

Cheers!
As well as Lipnack and Stamps’ work, Karen Stephenson of NetForm (and an OB/Strategy/OD cultural anthropologist at UCLA(??)), and Valdis Krebs of Knetmap.com have been doing a lot to make Social Network Analysis (SNA) more useful and more accessible in business settings. No doubt there are many others – I remember learning a while ago that Krebs had trained quite a few IBM consultants in the thinking, tools and processes associated with SNA.
Provides interesting X-Ray like views of communications flows in orgs …… depends upon the questions asked, in terms of who knows who, and what, and why contact them instead of someone else.
Of course up comes the issue of using this knowledge for manipulative, blood-sucking reasons … but nah, people in business organizations wouldn’t ever do that, I don’t think.
…she refracts the topic through her position as a woman.
Inquiring minds are just dying to know which position she was in.
