In some ways, I have been blessed with the gift of osmosis. How do you keep up?

I realized that one of the most important things that we can do is educate the organizations we work with (as well as individuals) about privacy issues and data. It is an inevitable result of our desire for social networks, as well as our desire for information to be portable (like in RSS feeds.) When is data public? How do we know?

We’ve passed through Baltimore – which reminds me of a project I did once, way back when, to work with a group of mostly small and medium-sized organizations on technology planning. How does increasing use of networking technology, on-line presence, and internet communications facilitate or hinder work that is done face to face?
