The link to the “Phoric” is here. I must warn you that some of the material may not be workplace safe.

The ‘Phoric” is a site where well known people in the 2.0 world choose 3 clips from YouTube and discuss why these are important to them. You may find some of the other guests moving and funny. Guest include Matt Moore, Euan Semple, Alex Kjerulf (Chief Happiness Officer)

All fun aside, and there is lots of fun here, the “Phoric shows the “heart” of the 2.0 relationship explicitly and it shows how simple tools can have a huge impact.

Bio: John Hagel, Co-Chairman of Deloitte’s new Center for Edge Innovation, author, speaker, and industry commentator, is a global strategist working at the intersection of business and technology.

Also see a related post from earlier in the day: Why is search so important and so valuable. From the post: “I will leave Fast 08 knowing one thing. That Search will be one of the key ingredients in the new business model.”

Bio: David Weinberger is a respected industry commentator, thought leader, and author widely recognized for his work on the emergence of the Internet as a revolutionary force in business and in society. David is a Fellow at the Berkman Center for the Internet and Society at Harvard. He published his most recent book, Everything is Miscellaneous, last year and is often seen and heard on such forums as National Public Radio in the U.S. and as a keynote speaker at Internet-related conferences.

“A topic is not a domain with edges. It is how passion focuses itself.” – David Weinberger

For those who attended FASTforward 2007, David will be familiar from an exceptional series of video interviews he conducted with keynoters like Chris Anderson, Tim O’Reilly, and Bill Inmon, practitioners like David Watson of Disney/ABC and Dorothea Herrey of Dow Jones, industry analysts like Forrester’s Matt Brown and IDC’s Sue Feldman, and, of course blogging gurus like Euan Semple and Jim McGee.

But of course Weinberger has long been a highly respected industry commentator in his own right. He is a Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard, writes a popular blog, and is often heard on such forums as National Public Radio in the US and seen presenting keynotes at Internet-related conferences.

Many are not aware that he was once a Vice President of an Internet search engine firm, and that background helps shed light on some of the core insights to be found in his latest book, Everything is Miscellaneous.

In Everything Is Miscellaneous, David’s third book (following Cluetrain Manifesto, 2002, and Small Things Loosely Joined, 2003), he once again takes up the challenge of interpreting the changes that the Internet is bringing to our personal lives, to our social lives, and to the core assumptions that have anchored many businesses. Six years on from the publication of Cluetrain Manifesto, this is the clearest account yet of the fundamentals behind the “webiness” of the web, and how what’s different about information on the Internet is turning many operating assumptions about knowledge and about business on their heads.

At FASTforward 2008, David will be sharing his views on the 2.0 transformation and some specific ways in which 2.0 user behaviors spawn new business opportunities in places you’d probably not expect. Don’t miss the chance to catch a deep and deeply funny mind at work.

Join us at 11 AM EST for a point/counterpoint debate about the viability and speed of adoption of Enterprise 2.0 tools within the enterprise. If you’re familiar with their writing and thinking, which has been much discussed here on this blog and elsewhere, you know this should make for a spirited and fun “joust” between two great minds with strong opinions on the matter.

Among the topics that’ll be touched upon:

• Are the barriers to adoption – human, cultural and political in nature – too large to overcome?
• Is there enough ongoing momentum to ensure broad-based adoption in certain industries?
• What processes are most likely to benefit from Enterprise 2.0 tools?
• How will success be measured?

Join the discussion by registering for the webinar here. We’ll be taking questions from the audience at the end of their discussion or feel free to leave questions in the comments of this post.
