Who is this demon who sits on my shoulder, 24 hours before a deadline? Reading a summary of the KMCluster London Symposium on Social Tools for the Enterprise, sent to me by Bill Ives, reminded me that looking up Stowe Boyd was on my list. I need to confer with him about material of his that I am including in the Report (38,000 words and counting). A researcher at my client’s forwarded me a link to Stowe’s last posting in Darwin Magazine on The State of Social Tools without even knowing that I know him! Notes from his talk at the Spring NYC KM Cluster have been on my report pile all along. He is the expert I’d turn to regarding real-time tools for the enterprise. I have to do this now.

But from Darwin mag I click over to Stowe’s blog on Corante, which I haven’t seen for a while, and catch some interesting posts. Look myself up in seven different search engines (I’m far from famous), check out Joho for David Weinberger’s piece on small talk, see that David has made himself supreme ruler of the i-neighborhood for Brookline, MA, check on the status of Harvard, MA’s i-neighborhood, see that there is none and make myself supreme ruler there.

I observe my craziness and decide it’s time to blog.

Stowe, please call you can ! Stop me before I really run out of control…
