What is an identity ecosystem? Zack Martin, Editor, Avisian Publications The notion of an identity ecosystem seems like a good idea. Provide a single credential that individuals can use for secure or anonymous access to Internet sites without having to remember dozens of user names and passwords. And while it may seem like a simple idea, the implementation of such an identity ecosystem is anything but simple.

Bob Stein: "Build conversations around books" With much talk in the industry about innovation, Bob Stein, leading innovator in the book space for three decades, has some advice for publishers.
Make books social, build the conversation around books, hire some bright people and lock them in a room. If they do that, they just might have a chance, he insists. "The current system of publishing doesn't really support the shape publishing is taking on as it develops," says Stein, who founded The Voyager Company in 1985, the first commercial multimedia CD-ROM publisher. But publishers are chronically slow at recognising what is happening to them and grasping the opportunities before they emerge.

Stein is listed on Wikipedia as a "computer pioneer", but he would call himself a publisher. Stein cites himself as an example. Will publishers heed his advice this time around? Managing Content Workflow for Faculty. We need to approach faculty as partners in publication.
You’ve done it! You’ve captured the intricacies and practical applications of Professor Mumblemore’s groundbreaking work on glottochronology (or electrophysiology, or perhaps paleoentomology) in crisp, engaging, easy to comprehend prose (or a minute-thirty of video, if you prefer). Good work! All that’s left is to get his A-OK and we can get this puppy published. Wait… what’s this? Oy. A Constant Challenge Whether its for print or web, higher ed communications professionals have long faced challenges in getting content reviewed by faculty without it coming back as something more befitting a peer-reviewed academic journal than the alumni magazine or the research page on the website.
The best end product is going to be one that meets our standards while providing a faithful account of theirs, but we’re only going to get there if we work together. Issue #1: Productive Negation.
