1. PodCasting for Learning Studio: I am so excited about the PodCasting for Learning Studio that we are building for Learning 2006. We will provide a hands-on lab environment for you to experiment with designing, producing and publishing learning content in an Audio or Video PodCasting format. These Learning Studios are included in our fee for the event.

2. Warren Buffett Decision - Tipping Point: The announcement this week by Warren Buffett that he was donating the bulk of his fortune to the Gates Foundation to target world issues is truly a "tipping point". This is a key example of how many of our super-wealthy entrepreneurs are focusing on the critical social needs in the world and setting out to create solutions. What a July 4th present Buffett has given our citizens and what a great example he and the Gates Family are to the younger generation.

3. Tagging More Important: Get your tagging skills ready. Increasingly, we will need to develop the habit and the process for tagging documents. Tags allow for an enterprise level of knowledge management and document sharing. I have started a personal experiment to "tag" all documents that I write with several keywords to allow for easier search access. For example, this issue of Trends has been tagged with the phrases "Trends", "PodCasting", "Tagging" and "Talent Search". Metadata and tagging will be a critical force in learning in the years ahead.

4. Talent Search for The MASIE Center: We are looking for two more people to join The MASIE Center and Learning CONSORTIUM team on a full time or contract basis. We are seeking one person to work on benchmarking and learning projects with our CONSORTIUM. In addition, I am seeking a sales and marketing person to focus on sponsorship relationships for our conferences and events. We are looking for folks with industry experience and high energy personalities. Ideally, these roles are located in Saratoga Springs, NY, but we are open to a contract relationship for some projects. Send a letter and resume to emasie@masie.com

Upcoming MASIE Center Events and Services:
* Membership in the Learning CONSORTIUM.
* Keynote Presentations by Elliott Masie.
* Learning 2006 - Nov 5-8 - Orlando.
