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 ...

For a good number of weeks, if not months, I have been thinking what I would be doing for my first post over here in Posterous as a way to introduce a new stream of content coming from yours truly, Luis Suarez. Over at my personal business blog, I have been talking a few times already about the huge potential that I see with this offering in helping knowledge workers share their knowledge and collaborate with their peers perhaps with the lowest barrier of entry there may well be to social software and social software adoption in general: email!

So, here I am, I hardly ever use email anymore, yet this will be my first (Out of plenty more, I'm sure!) Posterous entries and I would think that from here onwards I am going to make it a little bit of a habit to post content on a more or less regular basis: perhaps every day, maybe every other day. We will see how it goes over the next few days...

One thing for sure is that I plan to continue talking over here about the same kinds of topics as in all of my blogs from over the last few years. To name, Knowledge Management (or Knowledge Sharing, whichever term you would prefer to use), communities (And community building), collaboration (Including remote and virtual collaboration), learning and social computing (Enterprise 2.0 and social software, mainly).

At the same time, I'm thinking this new venue I'm about to kick off today would probably accommodate, and quite nicely, some other stuff that may well be in my head and which I would think would be worth while sharing across with a much more personal touch (Although within limits). We will have to wait and see how that goes...

For now though I think I just have got the perfect follow-up entry to post over here to give you a sense of what else you will be able to find in this site I am starting to contribute content to from here onwards.

I hope it will be an interesting journey for you folks out there, just as much as I think it will be for me. In fact, I am planning to use this Web site as that venue that would allow me to explore various other different areas of interest from yours truly that perhaps didn't find their own space in some of the other social software tools that I have been using for a while, including my blogs. 

Thus we shall see how this new adventure goes further. Let the exploring begin and thanks for reading!
