Interactive webinar with Gerd Leonhard and Alan Moore

Gerd Leonhard via Wikipedia

Two of the brightest lights to guide you into the networked world, Alan Moore and Gerd Leonhard, have buddied up to present a joint webinar:

Thriving commercially in social media and the networked society: An interactive seminar with Gerd Leonhard and Alan Moore

Both are acclaimed authors, bloggers and consultants to a wide-range of global organisations.

Places are strictly limited and priced at just $50. Gerd and Alan are both good friends of mine - and fellow collaborators at 90:10. Trust me - that's around 1% of their combined day rates - so quite a bargain.

But just in case you need even more of an incentive, there's a special discount code available on a first-come first-served basis. It'll bag you a decent 15% off the price. To get it just drop me an email.

The webinar is on Monday, March 1, 2010 from 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (ET)

Welcome to the Futerati

I'm liking Gerd Leonhard's Futerati initiative. Inspired by the value he feels he gets from shared wisdom; he's aggregated all his favourite twitter people and their posts (which you can then sort into types such as 'thought leader', 'author', 'activist', 'startups' and 'other').

Delighted to find myself under 'other'. That's about the most apt tag I've seen for me really... a kind of 'bits of all of the above'. As Dave Weinberger put it: "Everything is Miscellaneous"

Here's Gerd explaining why he's done it - and benefiting right away from the 'we are what we share, we are found via what we share' mantra.

Yep - totally agree. Our ever broader expression of metadata brings us together with ever more people we didn't know we needed to know.

Or as Stowe Bowd puts it "I am made greater than the sum of my connections, so are my connections".
