I just finished the discussion about "informing" in which he notes that the advent of GOOGLE is something that has flattened the world. The ability for anyone with a computer and access to the Internet to have the knowledge of the world at their fingertips definitely flattens the world. He shared some interesting insights into Google that I simply didn't know before this week.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I concur with all that have recommended this book. For those of us in the blogosphere especially ... it is a good read.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-33556207303470847632007-03-21T12:05:00.000-04:002007-03-21T12:05:00.000-04:00I thought I was the last person on earth to not re...I thought I was the last person on earth to not read it - its still on my list :p<BR/><BR/>Jason Alba<BR/>CEO - <A HREF="http://JibberJobber.com" REL="nofollow">JibberJobber.com</A>JibberJobber Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03196058023441589673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-6771292200677370922007-03-20T01:01:00.000-04:002007-03-20T01:01:00.000-04:00This is a great book and a must read for business ...This is a great book and a must read for business today. Many people misinterpret this book as doom and gloom, when in fact Friedman focuses on the opportunities provided by the new global economy, should the US take the necessary steps to seize them! I give some workshops about creativity and innovation, and these skills will become increasingly important differentiating factors in the new, flat world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-38079208062310293122007-03-17T03:26:00.000-04:002007-03-17T03:26:00.000-04:00No I haven't read it but will look out for it - ha...No I haven't read it but will look out for it - have you read Bill Bryson's "A brief history of almost everything"?
