Twitter / FDArecalls – FDA has started using Twitter to announce recalls. A great example of how the Feds are beginning to adopt social media tools!
Pew Internet: Generations Online in 2009 – Over half of the adult internet population is between 18 and 44 years old. But larger percentages of older generations are online now than in the past, and they are doing more activities online, according to surveys taken from 2006-2008.

Learn to Adapt Links for December 15th through December 17th

Posted by Jeff Kelly on December 17, 2008

Set in Our Ways: Why Change Is So Hard: Scientific American – A great article from Scientific American on the biology/psychology of why people are naturally resistant to change. Interestingly, it claims people are more tolerant of change during their 20s and then again after 60.
Pew Internet: Future of the Internet – Pew Internet research releases the results of its survey on the future of the Internet. Much as expected, with the exception of one finding that surprised me: "The transparency of people and organizations will increase, but that will not necessarily yield more personal integrity, social tolerance, or forgiveness." I think we may see more tolerance overall as everyone moves to "wearing a transparent kimono."

Ten Aspects of Web 2.0 Strategy That Every CTO and CIO Should Know [Dion Hinchcliffe’s Web 2.0 Blog] – Don't enter into the the article lightly, but Dion does a great job of summarizing some of the most salient concepts to consider when building a "Web 2.0" business strategy. Skip the verbose diagram, read the ten points then come back to the diagram and mull it over. (Come back and review it later if you don't have time to mull things over now…)
Training Method Trends : eLearning Technology – Tony Karrer pulls together the results of a survey done by the eLearningGuild that marks the trends in learning (training) delivery methods. Nothing truly surprising in the results, but a useful gathering of statistics nonethe less.
