Here’s what’s piled up in my reader:

  • 5 Important Tips for Successful Web Meetings – We run virtual meetings — badly. We have to get better to be able to be more inclusive.
  • Are Metrics Blinding Our Perception? (NYTimes.com) – "The once-mysterious formation of tastes is becoming a quantitative science, as services like Netflix and Pandora and StumbleUpon deploy algorithms to predict, and shape, what we like to watch, listen to and read.

    These services are wondrous. They also risk lumping us into clusters of the like-minded and depriving us of the self-fortifying act of choosing. What will it mean to prefer one genre of song when you have never confronted others?

  • The War For the Web – O'Reilly Radar – We do need to depend on interoperability.
