Organizational Communication Infrastructure for Innovation and Progress by Max Macias 11/08 At large organizations, Web 2.0 is being used in internal blogs or social networks. These perform the very useful functions of keeping far-flung employees, teams, and divisions in touch, sharing best practices and other useful information, and serving as a way to train. Organizations are beginning to see the value of these arrangements for more formalized training, as well as informal companywide communications (HR Focus, 2007). One of the requirements for an efficient (profitable?) organization is effective communication. With the influx of information today, new forms of communication are required for organizations. Most contemporary associations I have encountered have late 20 th century forms of communication based on an hierarchical system (I will be kind) from the 19 th century. Today one communicates in a variety of ways based on new tools for communicatio...

Vice Presidential Debate 2008 HQ (Part 1) 10/02 Palin Biden Debate 2008 - Sarah Palin Joe Biden VP Debate Thursday October 2nd at Washington University in St Louis MO in HIGH QUALITY (Part 1) Last night's vice presidential debate let me down.  Biden certainly came off looking weak to Reagan democrats and others.  I find it quite hilarious that these voters buy Palin's facetious verbiage last night.  Darn it!  If Obama and Biden don't want to come off looking like weak people who will pander to terrorists "without preconditions," they will lose many votes.  Americans don't like weak leaders and this could very well be the Obama camp's weak spot.  Americans would rather have a tough idiot for a leader (yes--I'm talking about Palin here and McCain here) than a weak intellectual.  Obama's middle of the road maneuvers don't set well with foreign policy in a country that is been scared witless by their leaders.  He can count on this strategy to w...

Edit Nope--Ain't gonna happen... 11:22am I drive around alot--I'm a commuter. On my commute I see political signs all the time. It is interesting that, in this election, arguably the most important in a long long time, there are very few presidential yard signs out in the country where I live. Oh--there are plenty of local signs--for local elections, but the presidential endorsements are glaringly lacking. What this tells me is that most of these people are going to vote for McCain and Palin, but they are too embarrassed to admit that kind of idiocy. Its NOT idiocy though--its straight up prejudice. No surprise there--I mean--we live in a country that enslaves people of color under the guise of the prison industry. I hope my observation is wrong, but growing up and living in a white-supremacist society tells me different... In many ways I think that OBAMA needs to lose in order for things to get better. Americans don't care about things until they are impacted by something...
