So, I’m wanting to find out more about this projected called Citadel. It’s a groupware package for lots of important stuff like calendars, email, and chat.

How to NOT build community.
Over the past couple of days, I’ve had an e-mail dialog with the organizer of a meetup.com group for marketing. It all began shortly after I added the group to my list.

Podcasting + Shoutcast = A Media Revolution Waiting To Happen
I recently had lunch with someone that got me thinking about video blogging. I still cringe at the word “blog” so “vlog” is no better. I’m a little more comfortable with the term podcasting.
