IDC collaboration site

The IDC has started a collaboration site on MilSuite. Check it out here:

I'd encourage all people, even non-IDC personnel, to check it out.

They had two articles of interest for me.  One discussed the Pacific Fleet Intelligence Federation, which I left a positive comment on since I'm working in it right now.

The other was EIDWS.  I'm not a huge fan of how I've seen EIDWS rolled out anywhere, since it does not resemble how the Navy does normal qualification processes, and the changes aren't good.  I left the following comment:

Why you should write

It's easy to be a consumer of information.  Since the advent of Google, most people can now find the content they want, whenever and wherever they want it.  The great thing about information on the internet is that it's the gift that keeps on giving: for essentially zero dollars lots of people can access it and it costs them nothing, plus it doesn't disappear when someone reads it.

The problem with this is that it leads folks to never contribute.  Oh sure, lots of people post Facebook updates and tweet.  But substantial information requires time and effort, and the internet seems to have made us lazy.  Why bother writing? 

Added new resources on the blog

I've added the Manager Tools Podcasts and the blog On the Net Gang to the Daily Reading section. Be sure to stop by and view each!
