About grokiam

Computer geek and innovation consultant. Worked on hundreds of technology initiatives in distributed, parallel and complex systems, massive data analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning, business process design and am currently into EdTech and Blockchain. I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing - a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process - an integral function of the universe. R. Buckminster Fuller; I Seem to Be a Verb; 1970

I’ve used iGoogle a bit and am now using netvibes but I mostly use them as a RSS feed collector and only look at them when I have some spare time.  How are we supposed to use them?
