A little over two years ago, I was invited to be a regular columnist on Information World Review. My audience was 'information professionals'. Of course, I get paid for the columns which gives the publisher a three six month (plus) headstart on me - I cannot publish my original material until three six months following publication. (And the magazine doesn't publish my stuff online. Don't ask.)
Anyway, Dr. Mohamed Taher, a commenter to this blog had referenced one of my columns in his own blog. This filled me with guilt, so I have uploaded all the columns I am allowed to and listed the remainder. I will link them as they become eligible for publication.
They show my descent (or is it ascent?) into the world of social media. (I thought of putting features online as well, but I figured they're a bit too big - usually at least 2,000 words whereas the columns are mostly around the 600 mark.)
