Mastodon brings social media pioneers together with #FollowFriday, reconnecting us with web 2.0 roots #SocialTools #Early00s https://www.GPTrending.com/#/?date=2023-03-18&topic=FollowFriday

From Groupware to Web 2.0 / Enterprise 2.0 to then Groupware 2.0 (= Chatting & Messaging Apps). All of that over the course of roughly 3 short decades.

Fast forward another decade to 2022/23 and Musk may have provoked, unintentionally, the 4th technology lifecycle shift: Open, Decentralised, Distributed #SocialTools.

Will it blend this time around? 🤔

15 years ago today, I wrote this post 👉🏻 http://bit.ly/NoeMailAnniversary 🤯

It'd *totally* transform my professional career. I shifted into #SocialTools (a.k.a. #ESN) as my primary meas of #Communication, #Collaboration & #KnowledgeSharing within the enterprise.

15 years later, I'm still going strong at it. Why? Well, once you see the light of #NoeMail, there's no way back 😎👍🏻

Perhaps nowadays even better with the #emergence of the #fediverse? We'll see.

For now, on to the next 15 years & beyond! 🤘🏻😎

Talking about new beginnings ...

With this post 👉🏻 https://bit.ly/DoneWithMediaTools I am just saying good-bye to my last two standing #MediaTools (#LinkedIn & #Twitter) I have been using, more often than not, for the last 16+ years.

It feels a bit weird, perhaps a tad alien, but then again it's an opportunity to unlearn & relearn, starting pretty much from scratch with #SocialTools

Remember the good old Web 2.0? Well, that's what the #fediverse & #Mastodon feel like for yours truly so far 😅👍🏻

Whoaaah! That was quite an intense catch-up! 🤯

It reminded me of the early golden days of #SocialTools, when one would sit back, watch and observe, read and learn carefully, then try to jump back in to the #RiverOfNews and share across some of the best tidbits.

Gosh, I didn't realise how much I have missed those days till today and somehow it feels like someone stripped off me 15+ years of my life! 😁😎👍🏻

#BringItOn

Time for an #Introduction, don’t you think? 😅👍🏻

My name is Luis (a.k.a. @elsua). I have been in the #KM, #Collaboration, #Learning, #Communities (#cmgr), #SocBiz / #OpenBiz, #DistributedWork & #DataAnalytics spaces for over 26 years, working as a consultant / adviser.

I’ve been using #SocialTools since early 2000, still blogging at http://elsua.net & huge fan of #Flickr for my daily dose of searching for beauty… Oooh, and nearly 15 years ago I got a thing started called #NoeMail 😎👍🏻
