I am glad to see this post on collaboration and recommending others. These are two of my favorite subjects and I regularly encourage others to go out of their way to “pay it forward”. I make a point of knowing who does what best and suggesting their services to others in my blog, at Twitter, on FriendFeed, at cliKball and anywhere else I travel online.

I regularly recommend people take the time to post online reviews. I even started a room at FriendFeed trying to get those with skills to share what they do, put up portfolios and set prices for specific tasks to make it easier to others to recommend them. We can improve the world by sharing.

Twitter-blog interaction is so powerful. @monkchips mentions me in his blog http://bit.ly/YK3t5 with a link, and my blog lights up. Thanks!

@merv yes and no. totally see your point, but i also believe Gartner, at least, is indeed opening up a bit- you only to read its blogs to see the market increase in value there. The tough part is of course keeping the talent in an open market place of ideas. Gartner seems pretty damned good at this. The folks they acquired from Meta Group have largely hung around, and that was a very different culture.

@jonerp you are certainly one of my “go-to guys for ERP”, and its always a pleasure to collaborate with you.

@jonnybentwood glad to get some clear confirmation of the trend i have seen from someone on “the other side of the fence”. But then you’re pretty damned hip to social media.

@ewh hey thanks man that is awesome. i better write some more about the issue. i suspect the fact a guy from Colgate Palmolive is sending around a blog to his managers written by me is just further evidence of the “new collaboration”

@lydia – word! @dahowlett word two!

@jeffmann I am finding it a lot easier to be civil these days – must be age.

We highly recommend @Ask_M. We “Asked M” to produce the first in a series of training videos for our our web-based integrated software for small businesses – she was quick, professional and the video is just what we wanted. We hope to work more with Emily in the future.

See the video Emily produced for yourself – how to import your accounting data from Sage to Pearl.

Thanks again for your work Emily!

James, you’re spot on. One small thing I’d add: big firm analysts who are successfully participating (i.e., participating – giving value as well as getting it – and helping their business in the process) are doing so in spite of their firms, not because of them.
Evidence to date indicates that the large firms’ relationship to either the blogoshpere or the twittersphere is queasily arms-length – despite the fact that some of the best minds thinking about social computing work for them. I discussed some of this in a post at http://bit.ly/N4dmg
