My new gig at 20:20 Social :-)
Ok, here’s an announcement that I want to make.
I have joined 20:20 Social, India’s first social business strategy consulting firm
I guess, what you’re asking is – what the heck is a social business strategy consulting firm?
Social business is the new term (or meme, if you will) that is emerging to describe organizations that are leveraging social software and tools to connect with customers and other stakeholders – that’s right folks, bringing the social web into the organization.
As I have believed – such tools (call them web 2.0 or whatever) help in facilitating transparency and openness and help achieve the true goals of Organization Development
In my role in 2020 social (follow it on twitter) I would be looking at the enterprise practice – or essentially how organizations can deploy social tools to empower employees, build collaboration, develop knowledge and positively impact business. Yeah, some people call this Enterprise 2.0 too.
It takes me back to the starting point of my career – when I started out looking at organizational processes for Knowledge Managementand then e-learning.
However as much as I love tools – I know that culture always trumps tactics, tools and even strategy. So I am looking at leveraging my HR and OD learnings to help client organizations deploy these social tools.
And I am super-excited to be working along with the amazing 20:20 social team that includes an old blogging acquaintance Gaurav Mishra who blogs at gauravonomics.com. What makes Gaurav a kindred spirit is his openness and transparency as CEO – he blogs about the organization as he manages it 
Check out Gaurav’s posts on how to build an Open and Collaborative Professional Services Firm, and Top 10 FAQs on Building a Social Business Strategy Firm in India.
Am also looking forward to working with a true blue Thought Leader Dave Evans (not the AC/DC guy 
author of a book on Social Media Marketing who blogs at http://readthis.com
You can download 20:20 Social’s position paper on Social Business Strategy as a pdf, or read it on scribd.
Who are the other folks who are doing something similar?
Well there are two that I know of – the Altimeter Group and Dachis Group.
20:20 Social has just started its journey and I am very excited to be part of something so new and emergent.

Tata Sons wins case against Oktatabyebye.com
- WIPO – Image via Wikipedia
This is a little weird. I have tremendous respect for the Tata group but this case against the travel community site oktatabyebye.com doesn’t make sense or logic unless they want to manage the community too.
Interesting thing to note is that MakeMyTrip which owns the domain is talking to the community and building up quite a support, however I don’t come across anything similar by the Tata folks.
As they say:
Very recently, TATA Sons filed a case against us (oktatabyebye.com) in infringement of their TATA name (as our domain name contains the ‘TATA’ word!). Tata Sons has contended that it is confusingly similar to its ‘Tata’ brand and the travel portal runner has no rights or legitimate interests to use it. The company had argued that the site infringed the right of its registered trademark/service mark ‘Tata’.
And in a decision by a sole panelist, ownership of the domain OkTataByeBye.com has been awarded to TATA by WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) Arbitration and Mediation Centre.
Needless to say we’re alarmed by such claims on our domain name. The Oktatabyebye.com domain name is importantly a representative of the colloquial “OK Ta Ta Bye Bye”, which represents travel, journey and related activities, referring to the generic word “Ta Ta”.
Nikhil Pahwa blogs at Medianama
MakeMyTrip (which owned the oktatabyebye domain) is going to appeal against the order, CEO Deep Kalra has told MediaNama, adding that ”Ta ta is a generic that everyone understands.” Strangely enough, there is no appeals process at WIPO, so MakeMyTrip will file an appeal in India to stay the transfer of the domain name.
What is that they say about people who live in glass houses? Via Twitter, Cleartrip informs us that MakeMyTrip owns Cleartrip.net.in. Unlike Ta ta, I don’t think Cleartrip is a generic, is it?

LOL! Wish doctors gave these advice
Q: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life.
Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it…don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?
Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.
Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, hat means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…Good!
Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!! ….. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It’s the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape!
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
And remember:
‘Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘WOO HOO, What a Ride’
AND…..
For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
Woman ’sacked’ after abusing boss on Facebook
A woman has apparently been sacked after abusing her boss on Facebook – forgetting that he could read her comments because they were friends on the networking website.
Yes the Facebook conundrum.
Many employees will get to a point where they will think twice before updating their status or posting their thoughts.
Because, with online life, you can leave the physical office and your boss once your day ends, but virtually they can be all around you.
In fact, IBM interestingly has posted an interesting presentation called Identity Management For IBMers On Facebook.
You can find it here:
http://www.slideshare.net/jescribner/identity-management-for-ibmers-on-facebook-1350655
It shows basic privacy settings and what you can do to make your facebook experience unlike the lady in the news report

Top Indian Blogs by Indian Eye

This is an interesting link and has some interesting categories to discover blogs.
Survey says Networking, Social Networking Best Job Search Tools
Forget job fairs and spamming potential employers with your résumé. If you’re looking for a new job, networking should be your primary job search strategy, according to the results of a recent survey conducted by Challenger, Gray and Christmas.
Well, job search is a complex process and this might hold true in certain industries and geographies. However, don’t rule out the third party recruiter as well as the much maligned job board as a tool for your job search.
A mix of all the approaches listed on the site is advocated, dependent on your level and experience.
For example for a recent graduate a job fair might be better to secure a job than a newspaper ad, sending unsolicited resumes or applying via the careers website. (oh, by the way, most companies’ careers sites are ‘black holes’ where resumes vanish! More on that later!), whereas, for a senior person networking might be a better option.
People whose life changed due to blogging
Got featured in the Mail Today feature on the weblog turning 10 years old along with folks like Amit Agarwal, Rajesh Lalwani, Dina Mehta, Gaurav Mishra (here’s his post on the story), Kiruba Shankar, Twilight Fairy and Nikhil Pahwa
10 Indian Twitter Users to Follow
We have compiled a list of 10 active twitter users you might like to follow. This list consists of famous Tweeps who are all quite frequent on Twitter and have an healthy interaction with their followers
Am flattered that the folks at the GeTHu blog thought me worthy enough to be listed in the top 10
I think the list should also include folks like @Kiruba @sidin @Naina @twilightfairy @b50 @Vimoh @Palinn @Bhawna_Sharma, to name just a few!
