Michael Hyatt posted this quote from Army Chief of Staff General Eric Shinseki on his blog…

If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.

Grasping the idea of change in our culture and world is made even more aware by this new and revised video on the impact of the social media revolution via the folks at http://www.socialnomics.net .  Getting our minds around this firehose of information is critical.  its the world we live in.  i love the tension provided by the amazing soundtrack.  the world is indeed a very small place.    ht len sweet

its coming again!  last year our team attended the best practical conference: gurus of tech event in louisville.  for many of our folks it was the first time to a mega church campus.  the journey had its moments too,  check out this video… but the practical takeaways were immeasurable.  the details are still getting worked out, but if you’re in ministry and you use any technology at all…you need to attend.   besides it being FREE…which is an incredible deal…you’ll learn alot.

chris brogan tweeted about this article by jon burg on the tension between technology and behavior.   here’s a clip from the article…

Social(media) is in it’s infancy. Our forward progress will not come from technology progress alone.  We are on the cusp of gaining unparalleled insights into what makes people and communities tick.  We likely will not know what to do with some of these insights at first.  But I can tell you that the answer won’t come from an algorithm alone.  It’s time to start studying our numbers as the people they are.

its fascinating to see bobby mcferrin help us understand our commonality.  amazing video…and astute observations at the conclusion. really interesting stuff.
