Let’s have a conversation about Business & Technology
I seen this as part of a presentation by Martin Bailie Planning Director, Glue London at the the The Digital Festival, hosted by Brain food store. This video shows how technology can be used to facilitate education by connecting with students in the same way they connect with each other.

If you want to add your blog posts to your facebook account here is a simple way of going about it.
The first step is to log-in into your facebook account and then go to http://www.facebook.com/editnotes.php link.
Next you enter you feed address into the Web URL box (which I have highlighted in red), in my case my feed address is http://feeds.feedburner.com/ConsultMarkBlog as I use feedburner.
Tick the little tick box (which I have highlighted in green) below this field if you agree with the terms and click start importing. If the feed has been found successfully then you will be given the option to start importing, click the confirm input.
The end, I hope this was useful.

Google has announced Google Buzz. What is Buzz? Well it is Google using an existing and exceptionally large customer base via GMail, and it is a stream of status updates, pictures, links, and videos from and to your friends.
What is very important is that Google Buzz is available on mobile platforms. Social mobile is going to accelerate greatly this year, it is just as well Google has launched its own mobile smart phone the Nexus One, good timing or what? As far as I can tell Buzz simplifies the process of sharing media. It is more than just status updates. It seems to have all the simple features of existing social platforms such as Twitter, Friendfeed, YouTube and Flickr. Just like a blog site (and Facebook) your friends can comment on your postings and then the comments are integrated into your GMail. There is even a “Recommend” button, which is kind of like a “Retweet”. You can also import Buzz into existing streams such as Google Reader, Twitter, Picasa and Flickr.
It seems to have all that you need, Buzz seems to be the “Ultimate Social Notice Board” (USNB).
I wonder if there are any plans to integrate Google wave or will this project [wave] keep Wave in Beta forever?
The only catch is that I have gone to http://www.google.com/buzz and clicked on the “try in Gmail button” and nothing. Where is my Google Buzz? I have lost my Buzz man!
Panic over for now, as according to this link it it will be rolled out over the next few days.
Here is the official video from google:

Yesterday, I gave a lecture to the second year MBA students at the Kemmy business school, University of Limerick as part of their module on Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The question I addressed was “Entrepreneurs - born or made ?” I shared my experience since leaving Dell. I also stressed in importance of building a quality network. I then gave my opinion on what Ireland needs to move forward. After the lecture we had a lengthy with the class around funding, generating ideas, the fear of starting up and the failure of “leadership” in this country to the Entrepreneur.
