Business gift story in today’s Toronto Star
Today's Toronto Star has my story on the best business technology gifts for this holiday season.
E-commerce comes to Canada
After years of being marginalized by the online marketplace, Canada is finally getting access to a wide range of online retailers -- thanks to Borderfree, a service owned by Canada Post. Borderfree lets online retailers easily sell their products in international...
Evaluating civic engagement projects

Government RSS, push and pull
Wired has a story on how the US government is using RSS as a tool for communicating with the public. This is great news, since RSS is a nice way of bridging "push" and "pull" (remember how trendy that distinction used to be?) The Wired story links to RSS Gov, a web...
Headlines that prove the world is ending soon
'The Official Halo 2 Strategy Guide' Has Biggest Random House, Inc. First-Day Sale Since Clinton's 'My Life'
Beyond the electronic whiteboard
As seen on Cairns: Nothing too new about electronic whiteboards as a collaborative tool (see, for example, this experiment from Colorado). But the InterWrite MeetingPad creates a new range of options. It's a wireless, handheld tablet that uses Bluetooth to communicate...

Yesterday I finally received my doctorate. The actual piece of Latin-inscribed paper showed up at my door care of Fedex (classy move, Harvard!), officially licensing me in the practice of political science. Yesterday was also the deadline for submitting proposals for...

My latest blog post for Harvard Business Review talks about what The Social Network tells us about social media. Or rather, it looks at what The Social Network doesn't tell us about social media, since the movie used the birth of Facebook as the backdrop for a...
The Social Network: A Good Movie That’s Not About Social Networking
Singin’ in the Rain has been my favorite movie for almost 30 years. It’s got classic music, extraordinary dancing and,…
