About this blog

I am interested in just about everything and I enjoy sharing ideas, and getting feedback and developing real conversations. My focus here is going to be fairly wide in scope and will come to involve a wide range of topics and issues involving business, technology, the Internet or some combination, and with both local and global focus.

This will definitely include topics in the general areas of:

• Business and social networking.
• The rapidly evolving interactive online experience and online marketing in this changing context.
• Emerging trends in networked computing and communications and their impact on individuals and on groups and communities. I will explore this from a wide range of perspectives including social and economic, as well as technological.
• Working with startups and early stage businesses – I do that a lot as a consultant.
• Business strategy and operational issues – I work in these areas too.

Let me know what you think of this and leave a comment – start a conversation. I do post replies and I follow up on ideas shared.

If you find these postings of interest, please help me with my viral marketing by spreading the word as to what I am doing here.

Thanks,
Timothy Platt, Ph.D.
