GREAT lessons from @boxofcrayons on getting support for ideas.

@hjarche @EskoKilpi thanks for the find! That to me is what #FF should do. Not lists but WHY someone's ideas will resonate.

Yahoo Axis -- The idea is not "search" -- it's "find". Time is ripe to do that right. Here's hoping.

1st rate teams look for ways to engage ideas and one another to create value, 2nd rate people spend time on Facebook.

Your tribe. Do you know who they are? They will push / nudge / develop alongside you and your ideas, to shape future. c. @julien

Your ideas may or may not be important, your craft valued or not, but it is in showing up to do YOUR work that you are #FullyAlive

I can help @WSJ with their next big editorial. Substitute "innovation" with "disruption". Give it 12 months, but can write it now.

We talk it too much without knowing how to do it. Innovation. And the Facts. by @rgmcgrath

Why startup culture is bad for creativity (or innovation for that matter)> By @missrogue

Innovation isn't in the idea. That's only invention. Important but insufficient. Making it operational is what makes it real.

On Facebook, and it's impact on the innovation ecosystem.

Doing what we did yesterday, only better is not what market rewards. What we need is innovation, progress. #HP, #Yahoo, #RIM

I believe primary role of a Corporate Board is to Advise so an organization's purpose is manifest in the world. Call me crazy.

7 ways #Facebook's Board must handle its genius CEO. (Would you want to be handled. Doubt it. Wrong thesis)

Damn @Jason, get on the board if you're going to help 'em this much.

@jtwinsor other really new one is IQ by Intel. <> employees co-creating news board for what matters.

Leadership and standards: @calstrs votes 5.3M shares against #wal-mart board for lack of gov oversight.

. @GrantLichtman Good catch. FIXED. What would I do without this community?

Workplace as communities. Not enterprises or businesses. #metaphors. #socialera

Let's shift how we create value: from extraction & depletion --> to connected with each other with meaning, co-creation, community

@SteveKoss collaboration is one way to connect. So is dialogue, or community or co-creation. Connection is superset IMO - you?

. @twitter, #tweetdeck etc missing Discovery tools so can find similar communities + own ideas via history. #marketopp

@priyaparker communities, connection, creativity... all things we valued before the industrial era made everything about effiency

@meshin @lesmckeown um, have you noticed I've been online when I should have been writing? Les is busting me appropriately. ;-)

Oh, damn. I'm supposed to be writing the final 2 chapters. #socialera

RT @DavidHolzmer: That's MY trick!! >> RT @nilofer: Thank goodness I have finally finished reading everything on the Internet. NOW,i can get back to writing

Thank goodness I have finally finished reading everything on the Internet. NOW, i can get back to writing #socialera book.

@pgranof absolutely fabulous job in the writing, + important point on the need for a new metaphor!

@adam_hartung loving your writing / analysis. Keep it up.
