And the UNESCO chooses the instrumental approach.
Just enabling. Chapeaux!
But soooo boring.

Peter 7:23 PM So WordPress is the Wiki “for collaborative, unstructured intereactions, among formal and informal groups….” That sounds very like what we are doing on the Google group. Or have I got this the wrong way around and Google is the Wiki and WordPress is a blog. It all still sonds like a mashup to me. Can you say it in one sentence (preferably without using the word clouds)?
7:23 PM Currently if someone ‘invites’ me to look at the Wiki I can do so but I still have no idea how to get there from scratch on my own. I just seems to arrive at a log in site that or (viz: Btw http://washcost.wordpress.com) a public site (WASH Bost Blog – What does Bost mean?)
7:23 PM Not blogging but drowning…
Jaap 10:18 PM Hi Peter,
Peter 10:19 PM Hi
Jaap 10:19 PM Brilliant observations.
10:19 PM washcost.wordpress.com is a blog like Cor uses for Source.
Peter 10:19 PM I know I keep being told but it does not seem to stick
10:19 PM OK I get that
Jaap 10:19 PM The software for the wiki we use comes from Socialtext
Peter 10:20 PM OK
Jaap 10:20 PM Bost was a typo; should be Cost
Jaap 10:20 PM Why dont we host our ‘groups’ on the same platform (fewer passwords to remember etc)
Jaap IRC 10:20 PM Google groups have to do with e-mail
10:21 PM The same platform would be Blogger by Google …
Peter 10:21 PM But our groups are not really email are they – we get an email telling us ther eis a message and when we click on it we go to a website – a google site
Jaap 10:21 PM Anyway we did not synchronize that, but use for all the accounts the same password might help
10:21 PM I do that!
10:22 PM The e-mail you get from our wiki is a link
Peter 10:22 PM So we could have done it all on one platform – the is not a difference in concept, just in the provider
Jaap 10:23 PM The e-mail you get from our group has te complete message; but you can also go to a webaddress where you can find al messages send to the goup
10:24 PM Provider is not our concern; we do use a number of platforms: SocialText wiki, Google groups and WordPress
Peter 10:26 PM I am not criticising just clarifying – although from where I sit it seems confusing. For exmaple I haved a social text password (for socialtext .net) but it does not access our Wiki. If I get a message form the Wiki then I can go there but I can never remember how to just go there because I want to visit.
10:27 PM Add to this that Cariidad uses another WordPress site and another WordPress password for Source – and you can see that I feel I am in revolving doors.
Jaap 10:27 PM No, I love this conversation because it shows my blank spots in using computers / Internet / Web 2.0 etc …
Peter 10:28 PM o tell me one last time how to access the Wiki (without first receiving a message).
Jaap 10:28 PM It also adstruckts that we (WSHCost-ers) have trouble working together …
10:29 PM I understand now from you that having two wiki’s … I will check \, just a second
10:33 PM The socialtext.net wiki you should dump.
Peter 10:33 PM OK
Jaap 10:34 PM Do you know your password for the wiki with the newsletter for WSHCost?
10:34 PM URL http://www.washcost.net/teamwork
Peter 10:37 PM JUst let me see if I can do it Hang on. I just got in but I am not convinced. It seemed to adjust my password to a smaller number of letters.
Jaap 10:38 PM If you are in you can change your password
Peter 10:38 PM So apparantly I do know my password.
10:39 PM I think I wioll stick with the one that worked and chuck away the other social text entry (they had different passwords which is here the confusion comes in).
Jaap 10:40 PM Good
10:40 PM Now I am going to sleep… 10.30 here
Peter 10:40 PM OK – thanks _ I will get back to editing the urban sanitation paper 9.30 here so another hour or so.
Jaap 10:40 PM Take care

Sometimes you will find gems on the way. A colleague got interested / curious about this wiki and edited a page telling a deep truth.

Indeed personal focus takes an effort and the possibilities – technically – are overwhelming. Indeed the typo is part of the experience….

How’s this for a piece of zeitgeist? I posted yesterday about Dan
Roam’s book The Back of the Napkin. Overnight, he picks up a Google
Alert about my blog post and in turn, comments – and posts a very nice
response in return. Might need to look at updating my sketch to map the
ongoing impact….

This modern world our ours works in mysterious ways. The Guardian
newspaper (the London one, not the San Francisco Bay Guardian one where
I started my career twenty years ago, nor the Moscow Guardian one where
I served as Art Director fifteen years ago) asked me last week to write
an article about my book and visual thinking.
http://escherman.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 07/ 16/ dan-roams-back-of-a-napkin-approac…
Dan Roam’s “The Back of the Napkin” book about visual thinking is a
novel approach to problem solving (and deserves a blog post all of its
own) Informative blog too. However, I thought it worth examining how I
went from not knowing a thing about Dan Roam at midday on Saturday, to
understanding
http://digitalroam.typepad.com/ digital_roam/ 2008/ 07/ napkin-tools-no.html
Ever since The Back of the Napkin appeared, people have been asking me
for download-friendly versions of the key visual thinking tools I
introduce. So due to popular request, here they are; high-resolution
PDF files for: The Visual Thinking Toolkit. (A visual summary of all
the lessons in the book.) The Visual Thinking Codex.

Turns out I was right. Click here for the WSJ video. Thanks Arnie for
pointing me towards this WSJ clip with Tim Armstrong of Google drawing
out the company’s vision on a napkin. According to Tim, Google has been
refining this single napkin sketch (as an alternative to a canned
presentation) for seven years, and plans to continue refining it for at
least another five.

The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with
Pictures, by Dan Roam. i was really disappointed with this book. i tend
to be a visual guy, and had a high level of expectancy about how fun
this book would be to read, and how helpful it would be. but i was
bored — crazy bored.
http://stephaniediamond.typepad.com/ marketingmessage/ 2008/ 07/ visual-thinkers…
Visual thinking, has been quitely sweeping through the halls of
business picking up converts. As a devoted Mind Mapper and visual
thinking evangelist I was thrilled when Dan Roam’s new book “Back of
the Napkin” was released. Many people profess to lack artistic skills
and shy away from this topic.
http://livingthedash.tv/ 2008/ 07/ 09/ visual-thinking/
I am a visual thinker. For me, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Dan Roam’s book, The Back of The Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling
Ideas With Pictures, has been on my Amazon Wish List since it was
released earlier this year.

Thanks to Elizabeth Marshall at Author Teleseminars, on July 9 at noon
EST I’ll be giving a live Back of the Napkin session online with Seth
Godin, Anil Dash, and Rich Sloan. We’re going to talk about solving
problems with pictures, drawing our way out of business conundrums, and
saving the world through simple sketching.
