Well connected with the world means something more...

What does it mean to be well connected with the world? Does it mean you watch the local network world news? It may have been that way 20 years ago but that is not the case any longer.

Do you have your own blog? Do you read/use technocrati, netvibes, RSS reader (Google Reader) del.icio.us, furl.net, ning, youtube, second life, Zoho, myspace, pageflakes, digg, reddit, linkedin, or facebook? There are many others. Do you use Wikipedia?

If you have used any of the above tools or any similiar tools you are connected. Well connected? Well, the word well can be interpreted in many ways but in either case you are reaching out to learn new things from new communities that never before existed.

The next question to ask companies is, are your employees well connected? Do you only use Quarterly meetings and a coporate home page to keep in touch with employees? Do you see any value in using a company wiki? Why not? Do employees feel they do not have authorship?

You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
