Speaking of sharing, I just sent out announcements for a free webinar I am doing on defending against competitive intelligence, a subject near and dear to me. I cannot do something like that for SCIP, since they want to assume the rights, then repub…

Now I am confused. GTM is Frost & Sullivan (the company's) Global Team Membership program.For details on it, see this PowerPoint: 216.119.94.44/gtm/overview/GTM_Overview.pps. How does that apply to SCIP's "events and membership services"? It seems t…
I really cannot support the F&S solution. First, there was way to much reliance on "we were told", "they have assured", "they understand". To put it bluntly, oral representations vansih when a written agreement is signed. Second, SCIP seems to be ai…
This was mentioned by SCIP officers in a non-confidential briefing of the Fellows.

It is a pleasure to see you at this website. I just returned from an assignment in China, where I had the opportunity to stay in Beijing and soak in the Olympic atmosphere. See you in SCIP09 in Chicago.

Arthur Weiss said… - Well - I like the AIIP model, where the board's role is to coordinate multiple committees that are responsible for the different aspects of AIIP. AIIP is much smaller. I suspect that they have more members involved - as volunteering is part of the ethos.
It's also highly democratic. Each annual conference includes an AGM where members have the chance to vote on the budget, and approve / reject board member submissions on the prior year plus plans for future years.
Volunteers are also not quite press-ganged into joining up but if you have a skill or express an interest, you are "invited" to join- and as it's shared by many, the actual workload for most people is low.

- Well maybe I've been too vociferous. I've had one private email saying to put up or shut up, and suggesting I stand for the board. Trouble is I'm not sure that I want that. Sometimes it's good to be on the inside but in this case, I'm not convinced. I think that there are a lot of people who are happy with the way things are going, or can't be bothered either way. I suspect that on the board I'd feel emasculated - as I'd be a lone voice of criticism. Not totally sure though. (I know what Sheila Wright thinks, but I'm not Sheila).

Well getting a clean feed takes a combination of good web-sources and appropriate taxonomy-based semantic filters. It seems your friend's RSS is clean and thus it may be worth to look at his/her taxonomy. Any insight?
Indeed Richard you seem pretty well covered as far as information retrieval is concerned.
What about analysis, sharing, collaboration with others? What about aggregating those feeds together?
Any insights would be helpful.
I use e-sobi. It is a rss and podcast feed reader. I can add the feeds I want, I can store pages for later use, I can set alerts. Seems to be more powerful than the free readers. SInce you can organize it the way you want, it provides a way to quick…
