Networking the way we used to...

Telephone tree, 1987I found something interesting in my garage earlier this week.  A tatty old piece of card?

Before the computer... or at least before they became part of our lives... I give you, The Telephone Tree.

Does anyone else remember networking this way? It's so much easier now (I think).

Why Non-Profit Brains Should Excel at the Social Web.

Researched published this month was described as finding the part of the brain which deals with altruism.  In this post I explain why i think this is confused reporting, but also how the research may help explain that charities and non-profit groups are wonderfully well equipped to make the most of the social web.

This is my first post on netsquared and, if people don't object, I'll mostly use this space to point to relevant jottings elsewhere.
