Weekly Roundup: A Tryst With Destiny
Today is India’s 63rd Independence Day (image: melgupta via Flickr, Creative Commons).
In tribute to my country of birth, this edition of Weekly Roundup focuses on writings by, from and of Indian authors (or authors of Indian descent).
1. Innovation and HR’s quest to be strategic, by Gautam Ghosh.
Why: Gautam is an excellent and prolific writer (and friend). He’s managed to parlay his social media savvy and business smarts into the realm of human resources, an area not typically known for either (sorry, HR people, but there you have it).
2. The age of surveillance from The Comic Project.
Why: First Saudi Arabia, then India, made the news by threatening to clamp down on RIM’s BlackBerry service. Anyone interested in transparency – what we deem one of the pillars of social media – should read this post.
