This and That
Shouting out to all engineers out there reading this blog:
main() {
printf("hello, world");
}
Ok. Just kidding. I’m not really an engineer. Far from it actually (I’m in HR) but hey, I do love keeping up with science…technology… trends…and the market place! Hi there, I’m Mazie - and like Bruce, I’ll be one of the regulars on this blog too.
In future posts, I’ll try to write about what I’m learning about information, technology, social networks, knowledge management and the like - and also throw in some relevant odds and ends too…for a little fun. =)
To start, I came across this new start-up website Oddpodz. It’s basically a website that allows creatives to share information. How do you think start-ups like these are changing the way we manage intellectual property and documenting best practices? Let me know what you think.

Hi Mazie. Oddpodz here. We just came across your blog while searching for ourselves on the world wide web (via google). We think that this community will present opportunities for those who have ideas for managing intellectual property and best practices. Our 'citizens' are incredibly creative. They produce a lot of ideas and content. Managing and organizing the content is an challenge AND an opportunity that we are dealing with. Some will come to our site to showcase their ideas, others will visit to find inspiration. Categorizing all the content so that the search results are relevant and meaningful is what we are working on right now. We also want to provide ways for people to protect their work (watermarks, copyright language) so that they feel comfortable sharing their brilliant ideas. This is a very exciting venture.
