Web2.0時代的成功秘訣
現在風行的Blog、Myspace、Youtube、Facebook看來都不是什麼了不起的技術產物,為什麼瀏覽人次狂增,商機不斷?關鍵就是因為他們抓住了集體智能(Collaborative Intelligence 簡稱CQ)的致勝商機。

集體智能(CQ)本是兼顧「多元」與「異質」兩大元素,成功的web2.0平台需包容多元組成的意見,更要藉由群體的力量,達到團體共同的目標。能夠運用在政治、社會、教育等方面。CQ存在於群體組織,社群成員間彼此藉由網絡聯繫,成員間的鼓勵、合作、異質競爭就是團體致勝的唯一法則。

本書提供創新概念,現今社會視「與人合作」為不得不的競賽,唯有「集體提升」才是企業致勝永續經營的不二法門。

本書五大特色
˙ 突破的新概念
˙ CQ第一本職場專書

2008 Bologna

今年二十四歲,第一次出國,去了義大利的波隆納。

波隆納是個很讓人期待的地方,也許是因為它在歐洲。對於歐洲,我總是持有浪漫且變態的印象,原因不外乎 1.歐洲吸血鬼很多 2.歐洲人都很奇怪 3.至少離巴黎比較近。

畢竟是出差,除了玩耍與大吃外,工作還是必須的,但客戶都很好相處,也很關照。書展其實還滿有趣的,看到很多野心勃勃的年輕人帶著自己的作品拜訪出版社,很佩服他們的勇氣;以及見識到各國各家各種風格的出版社及代理什麼的。

客戶都會很關心地問「第一次出國嗎?」、「第一次來書展嗎?」當然下手也不會太重,於是我平安地存活了下來。

這次去波隆納也帶了不少書回來,很多資料都還沒整理出來,但我想會漸漸好轉的。

I am iron man

嚴格來說,Iron man與我是在國中時初次相遇,某次與某人去看電影,就是看進口的Iron man卡通版,內容有點芭樂,居然忘了。
 
後來又與Iron man相遇是在大四的時候,寫那狗屁不通的畢業論文時,為了找Marilyn Manson的資料找到一個頒獎典禮的影片,是Manson頒獎給Ozzy。我與Ozzy的認識又可以再講個幾圈,真饒舌。總之就是找到了Ozzy唱過一 首Iron Man,噢,我好愛那歌。
Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

我想我只是愛這首歌裡的Iron Man,因為(看似)他要向世人復仇。但抵擋不住Robert Downey Jr.,雖知故事與想像中不同,但我還是去看了。還真好看,我愛Iron man,更愛Robert Downey Jr.我想。Robert Downey Jr.我是在Fur裡面認識的,但主要會看Fur完全是出於Nicole Kidman啊,再加上文學老師大力推薦,於是與奇怪的人結下不解之緣。

簡 單來說,我與Iron Man的關係是來自畢業論文及文學研究課。

Iron Man是部有點諷刺有點美國夢有點戳醒的電影,有點老套,有點趕流行(我說中東),有點陰謀論。很Marvel就是了。

回到家後,照往例 小收個信,許久沒有回音的德國出版社來信,表示願意給我們代理。其實有點吃驚。總括來說,四月要結束了,日子會越來越好才是,明年見,艾略特。
