Telecom out, solar in: photonics gets its green game on aiming at trillion dollar cleantech opportunity

Ever since Alexander Graham Bell pronounced that his "photophone" was his most important invention after he proved in 1880 that he could transmit sound on a beam of light, photonics has been instrinsically linked to the telecommunications industry. Thanks to Bell, photonics companies had a great run in the 20th century with fiber optic applications.

Tsunami, what tsunami? Social networking "conversationalists" can bring down your government or your brand. Just watch them. 

In ramping up for a presentation at the Conference Board of Canada next week, I'm finding it almost too easy to make the case that ignoring social networking in government or corporate communications strategy is like deciding to nip downstairs for a drink at the beach-front bar just as the shadow of a tsunami's wave blocks out the sun over the palm trees.

Does Queen's University Facebook flash mob portend a PR model for the future?

It was fantastic, i.e., "incredibly great", to once more fill up all three rows of our minivan this weekend as our daughter Stephanie returned home mid-way through her first term at Queen's University.

The flash mob was concieved by "Q-Sauce", or Queen's Students Assembling United Collective Enthusiasm. All timing and communication regarding the flash mob was coordinated via Facebook less than 24 hours prior to the event. Students were asked not to pass it on other than by Facebook. Just prior to the flash mob's activation, 300-plus responded via Facebook that they were "attending" while nearly 400 said "maybe attending". In fact, just about everyone who heard about it participated.

Canadian car company bail-outs: an abomination to innovation

I just listened to a CFRA AM radio podcast interview with respected automotive analyst Dennis DesRoisiers who said the $15 Billion Canada is giving to prop up General Motors and Chrysler could otherwise underwrite the salaries of 20,000 engineers for THREE YEARS to totally reinvent the automobile as we know it.
