In case you haven’t got this early christmast gift from Mr. Godin and his friends. Here is the PDF and below I’ve embedded the whole e-book.

I stopped at page 12 – CONNECTED by Howard Mann. I will give it a deep thought.

The other day I’ve found Flavors.me, a tool which gives everybody a good looking website. No more power to the CSS- and Flash-guru’s. Or at least a little bit less. It appears to be in beta, but you can request an invite-code. If you want an online lifestream no programming, you’ll better ask for it.

Their official pitch:

Flavors.me allows anyone to create an elegant, single-page website using personal content from around the Internet. It automatically organizes all kinds of information – photos, videos, blog posts, status updates, music listening habits, travel plans, resume details – into a constantly growing, interactive visual montage.

I’ve noticed in my non-geek friends — the majority of my friends — a stunning increase in the use of **social media**. Let me be more specific. Take this friend of mine who is a notorious **technology-privacy-basher** , she rejects most of my **fine suggestions**. Daily I tell her: “You should try [Dropbox](https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTE5MjI1MTk)” or “Try [Screenr](http://screenr.com/) it doesn’t need installing!”. But she **simple doesn’t**.

But recently she has opened herself a [Tumblr-blog](http://yoldaanderskor.tumblr.com/) and now she is some **sort of an addict**. Of course I’m not supposed to call her an addict. Neither I would call myself a **Twitter-addict**, but with [1,375 tweets](http://twitter.com/patrizio) hardly anyone would believe me.

Innovation on the Edges

Lately I’ve been reading more on innovation — where and what enables it. A common denominator seems to be related with *bottom-up* or to be more precise on **the edges**. In this article an overview of interesting research and a couple of visionaries who are evangelising that: innovation is happening on the edges.

Centre v.s. Edges

First and foremost there is John Seely Brown (ex-Xerox Parc) who has been studying and writing for years on innovation. Currently he is the co-chairman for the [Deloitte Center for the Edge](http://www.deloitte.com/view/en_US/us/Industries/Technology/center-for-edge-tech/index.htm). This center researches the importance of innovation and how it can be stimulated. Their mission:
