What Can Location-based Social Networks Learn From Dogs?

You’ll have to listen to the podcast that Matt Moore (Innotecture, Engineers Without Fears), Doug Cornelius (KM Space, Goodwin Procter) and I recorded last week to find out!

The three of us talked about the latest in wikis, blogs, knowledge management, and enterprise 2.0, discussed recent conferences we’ve attended (Enterprise 2.0, Web Content 2008, International Forum on Enterprise 2.0, etc.), cracked a few jokes, and even discussed the social bonding that comes from salty language (That last one is in a short audio clip of its own!).

Matt put together an excellent play-by-play of the topics we covered, so you can see what’s inside before you listen. Timestamps are listed below alongside the topics, so you can jump right to what interests you, but I encourage you to listen to the whole thing!
