I like reading blogs to gain different perspectives, insights and individual views from various people coming from various geographies and cultural backgrounds. Today, my focus is on Ecademy network. I observed extra richness in Ecademy blogs within last few days. I am impressed by the content and diversity in general; for example the following categories and representatives took my attention:
1. Injection of business in social context by Jan Mulder, Bernadette Doyle, Martin Bamford, Ty Tyson, Cornelis de Maijer, Penny Power, Bob Nicoll, William Buist, Mark Lee, Marco van Velthuisen, David Winch, Anthony Mullinder, Annabel Kaye, George Emsden, Anna Stephens, Jason Collins and James McBrearty...
2. Challenging social observations and prompts by Wayne Bisset, Stuarte Harris, Sam Borrett, Simon Ellinas, Ann Andrews, Nighet Nasim Riaz and Andreas Wiedow...
3. Exotic cultural input from Fatimea Tedora, Zahir Shamsery, Dr Das Suman, Martin Dewhurst, Nick Dutch, Bernard Bonvivant, Michael Oon...
4. Interesting personal input from Norman Feiner, Mark Mandel, Elizabeth Malouvier, Demos Flouri, Carolyn Williams, Phil Shepherd, Jon Hansen, Keith Whitney, Dr Gaby Cora, Solveigh Calderin, Richard Derwent Cooke, Nic Oliver, Jet Rotmans, Maki Kosaka, Maurice Poole, Hans Terhurne Freddy Daems and Joy Webber ...
5. Highlights from various interesting media types by Richard Perry, Jeff Mowatt, Rajesh Ananda, Daniel-Flavius Lucica, and Tony Hine
6. Sudden breeze from famous Nikki Pilkington and a sad farewell from insightful Andrew Peel...
7. Social media flavour from Alan Stevens, Georgina Lester, Thomas Power, Steve Hall, Andrew Wilcox, Roger Vanstone, Zara Lockwood, Ivor Kellock, Steven Healey, Francois Hotte, Chris Ogle, Marcus Fielding, Nick Tadd and Vanessa Warwick...
8. Superior philosophical, realistic and thought provoking observations from Michael Heaney and Steve Holmes...
There were more interesting posts but it was the ones I enjoyed in my limited time and tagged some of them for future reading. What posts did you enjoy last few days and how did they impress you?

Adding NEW meanings: mixing FUN & business with popular media: My recent top 20 items ACCEPPTED in Superfan
New social media is stretching the scope and blending the borders of business and pleasure!
You can be fan of anything at superfan accepted by the assessment committee using an objective criteria. If your favourite items are not there, you can create your objects and first you become the superfan of that object then invite others to be fan of it. It is also possible in some cases others may steal your superfan and then the whole fun starts. The objects gain value and visibility. For example, Ecademy, Yasni, Hereke Silk Carpets, Megan Fox and IBM are a few famous ones that reached to very high scores in very short time. It is up to the fans to promote their items.
I introduced the following items to the Superfan recently which they were not available in there and they were accepted successfully:
1. Nasreddin - A historical humorous character
2. Manuka Honey - strong antibacterial honey from New Zealand
3. Oil Wrestling - Traditional Turkish Sport
4. Semiotics - the study of how meaning is constructed and understood.
5. Cloud Computing
6. The University of Melbourne
7. Orhan Pamuk - Turkish Nobel laureate in Literature
8. Kevin Rudd - current Prime Minister of Australia
9. Seymour Papert - one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, as well as an inventor of the Logo programming language.
10. Hyacinth
11. Mindfulness
12. IBM AIX - Server Operating System
13. IBM System z10
14. Hookahs - Nargile (this is only for cultural awareness purpose, I am non-smoker but can connect to smokers:-))
15. Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me - Penny Power's recent book. (just introduced yesterday)
16. Karagoz and Hacivat
17. Mayapple - plant native to the eastern part of North America.
18. Meet the Robinsons - my son's favourite show
19. Sertab Erener - 2003 Eurovision winner represented Turkey
20. Blue Gene - Enabled IBM to be a winner of National Medals of Science, Technology and Innovation
You can see and become fan of my current 69 items from this link.
What are your recent favourite top 20 objects, concepts that you may want to share with your networkers?
Through this post, I'd also would like to obtain your views on use of this new medium for both business and pleasure. What could be the implications from your angle?
