Comment on Social Web and Market Research 2.0 by Jenni Beattie

Jenni Beattie — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:03:50 +0000

Fascinating interview.

It certainly is a great time to be in the research/social media space. As new platforms arise the challenge to use those platforms appropriately and develop new research methodologies will be pivotal.

You mentioned collaboration and co-creation being used in business re innovation. I believe that knowledge management was at the fore of this movement in the 1980s.
While KM focused solely on harnessing internal knowledge of organisations Research 2.0 and Social Media today harnesses knowledge external to organisations.

The communities that Matt develop today bare some resemblence in (idea not execution) to the CoP (communities of practice) that knowledge managers set up in the 1980s with the central idea being that the group comes together for a purpose around an idea, to build on knowledge or ‘crowdsource’.

I believe for some companies learning to work collaboratively internally (and understanding the value of internal crowdsourcing) has gradually opened them up culturally to more transparent and collaborative efforts externally.

The timing for Research 2.0 is right.
Cheers,

Comment on Towards Citizen-Focused Local Government – Quadriga Study by Laura Unger

I am an American who is very interested in broadband policy. I am working with the Communications Workers of America (a trade union) on a campaign called SPEED MATTERS (http://www.speedmatters.org) to try to push for public policy here to help build high speed, affordable internet for all. I think the list of things you are investigating is the correct approach. In the United States we have become so consumed with the issue of “Net Neutrality” that we are ignoring how we can get a truly high speed network built. I believe in an open internet but I also believe that the greatest bar to that is our lack of capacity.

Good word, ‘hubris’. Much under-used these days…and emanating from classical tragedy of course.

Thanks for the mention Jeff.
Of course for me to agree with you on the obvious merits of the new & improved design would be hubris
- so I’ll refrain from doing so

Going to have to add you to my RSS feeds now.
