12 frogs read think get curious

The future is MMOW

I’ve been working on my IL2006 presentation. I’m one of three folks in B204 — Web Lessons, so I probably won’t have much more than ten minutes to get across my key ideas.

Instead of minimalist but still vile powerpoint, here’s what I think I’m going to talk about in a more blog-friendly “slide” form:

I’ll be able to cram more information and links into the notes, but for now each blue box above is what I’ve got on one slide. I wanted to hit the major points — blogs, wikis, feeds, del.icio.us, social software — and end on where I think things are going — MMOW. If you have any suggestions or questions, please leave a comment or drop me an email. (I also posted about this on a behind the firewall work blog and got some great feedback.)

And yes, I really think the the future is massively multiplayer online work. It’s already here, it’s just unevenly distributed.

Hi Jenny, good sheets.
In my presentations I usually follow a similar path:
Blogs, about conversation not about publishing
Wikis, about collaboration and collective memory not about documents
Delicious, about shared language not about bookmarks
Social software, puts people and their relationships first, information/content serves as object around which these relationships (r)evolve.
Feeds as social filtering and as the plumbing that connects the whole.

Looking forward to that MMOW future being more evenly distributed!
Have fun with your presentation in October.

Ton, thanks for the feedback — especially for sharing what you cover when you do a presentation.
