I must admit that I have never been a big fan of metrics, statistics or whatever other kinds of measurements, yet my fascination for infographics can't stop growing more and more by the day. Not sure why, but I just can't explain it. Every time that I bump into some rather interesting infographics I just can't help looking at them mesmerised deeply trying to find all sorts of combinations and whatever other reasons behind the data presented. It beats me. Really. I just can't help it. Once I find a bunch of them I just can help, but share them along as well ... Here are a couple of examples ... to get you folks going as well ...

How about some mind-blowing YouTube Statistics? These are those lovely types of infographics that would look very good on slideware around the impact and significance of Web 2.0 way beyond the Internet itself ...

And once you are done with that one, how about The ups and downs of social networks? Rather interesting article that covers the penetration of some of the most popular social networking sites out there for a good number of countries, including Spain! Actually, have you noticed how Spain is one of the countries with the heaviest use of social software? Yet, it's got one of the lowest % of social networking used in a business environment? It kind of makes you think a little bit about things, don't you think?

Funny thing is that this is something that we would be able to see throughout other European countries as well and clearly relates how much more work there is still ahead of us all for that final adoption of social software by the masses ...

This is just too funny and too weird not to share it across! At a time when Tumblr seems to have become more popular than ever, here I am again, after a few weeks of absence from my last Posterous entry, wanting to start making heavy use of it again... Ha! Go figure that one out! Because I simply just haven't! Either way, yes, just thought I would drop a quick message over here to let folks know that from here onwards I'm going to make my very best effort to make some space and time to start posting some more regular entries over here in my Posterous space.

I know that may come as a surprise to plenty of people out there, since in most cases I have been rather faithful to my personal business blog all along. The truth is that is not going to change at all. I will still be posting regular blog entries on my main blog and that will continue to be like that for a long while. However, I thought it was a good time again to pick up, back again, my elsua's clippings, because I have been thinking there are far too many interesting things out there to share with everyone than just keep them for myself and my little offline notes. So here I am, giving it another try and see how things would go.

The interesting thing though is that I sense these clippings will have a nice new way of interacting with my flow. How? Well, everything that is longer than a single tweet and shorter than a 3 or 4 paragraph blog post will be ending up over here. And not just yet about the topics I usually write about (In the areas of KM, Collaboration, Communities, Learning and Social Computing), but on a wider range of things that not only would be of interest to me, but rather that they have also caught my attention for whatever the reason ... 

So, there you have it. What you can expect from elsua's clippings. Hope you will stick around and every so often drop a comment or two to say "Hi!" or comment on the entries. That would be very much appreciated! 

For now though, I bet you are wondering what triggered me to come over and relaunch my Posterous site, right? Well, yes, indeed, there was something. Something that has gotten me thinking for a while and that I bet would do the same for you. I am not going to say much more about it, or detail what it is about. I would want it to be a little bit of a shocker for you out there, like it was for me, and then you will understand why. Go and get yourself a nice cup of coffee (Or tea!) and then start reading "Talking to God...". And prepare yourself to be wowed big time!

Yes, indeed, it is good to be back! :-D
