Sharing your slides
The other day, I stumbled upon slideshare.net, a pretty interesting site, where you can upload, share and learn from other slideware. It is a sort of slideware social networking kind of site, with comments, favorites, digging, etc.
The most interesting piece for me, is that there are a few really good pieces out there to learn form. Sure, there’s a ton of crap, but you can lear from those too. You can also use it like Flickr, but for slides and embedd them into your blog or site, like I’m doing right here with that deck I mentioned in another post a while back.
New URL
For those that haven’t noticed, this blog has now the proper URL, namely blog.cremerius.org and it should be all transparent to you.
I can’t believe it’s been that long…
… since I last blogged here. It’s been a crazy time for me and I’m totally tied up with work. I can even bearly read my favorite blogs. I’m traveling so much between to UK and the US right now, that I should probably start a new travel blog…
Anyways, all this is because I’m involved in an really interesting outsourcing deal (on the to be outsourced side) and you can imagine how wuch work this means. We just finalized the due diligence phase and are entering final negotiations.
Well, this was just to let everybody know that I’m still alive, and if at all possible, I’ll try to keep you updated on my learnings form this experience.
Thanks for sticking around!
Ways to distinguish yourself
Well, that was a big pause here on my blog, but had really a lot to catch up with at work and with family.
As always, I’m keeping track of my feeds in Bloglines and there I came across this blog, a remarcable blog from Dr. Rajesh Setty where he writes a series about Ways to distinguish yourself, something really worth reading. He also published the first 25 (he’s already at his 111th entry ) as a manifesto in Change This.
If you want to get an easy access to this, bookmark his Squidoo Lens.
Catching Up

Leave a Comment Now that I’m back from my vacations I have a ton of stuff to catch up with. While jumping around in my Bloglines feeds I noticed that Guy Kawasaki finally got on the blogging bandwagon with this post and for what I was reading he’s doing really great… I love what he has to say.
He is now definitely on my subscription list!
Web 2.0?
Here’s a nice post by Russell Shaw on ZDNet. It is a rather different view than the one we ‘re getting from the hyped media… and I tend to agree with him. What I think is usefull about this naming/marketing/slogan is a common name for the category of really cool applications we’re seeing these days. Maybe Web 2.0 is a marketing slogan, but why not give them another name, something like RW-Web? I really belive though, that the Web 2.0 name will stay for a while.
Squidoo
I’ve been playing around a little bit with Squidoo since the closed beta. Unfortunately I had not a lot of spare time during these days to really get into this, but I did manage to build a small lens on me. Yes, that was the fastest way to get this to know, and here it is!
Squiddo is a radically new concept from Seth Godin which is really worth looking into!
Presentation Makeover II
I promised to follow up on this post… and here it is.
I got some last minute inspiration from Tom Asackers’s blog, thanks to Seth Godin. He posted a PDF-ed presentation that really inspired me, so I wrapped up my one in a day o so and presented it last thurday. I really impressed the audience, since they never thaught I would do something like this, but best of all, I felt I got their attention and kept it for as log I presented. It was around 4:00 pm and they all had a tough day, so it was really challenging to get my message across, but it seems like I did.
I should get some feedback from them in the next days… let’s see.
Web 2.0
Well, as you may know, there is a lot going on in the web 2.0 world these days and I just came across a really nice page that Joshua Porter has written on Squidoo: introduction to Web 2.0.
Take a look and you’ll see not only what Web 2.0 is all about, but also what Seth Godin did with Squidoo.
Another interesting post related to this is this one by Richard MacManus on his Read/WriteWeb blog. He writes about the Web as a platform, which is another way to look into the same thing. He’s compiling a list of possible applications on such a platform… hmmm, let me think about it.
Leadership
Tom Peters has a nice write-up on leadership and how it is being taught “on the side” in Business Schools and corporate “universities”.
Maybe I should go and apply for West Point!
