Don't be so L7. Loosen up, and be more wiki!
July 24, 2008 - 9:22pm — JustinBrowsing through some bits and pieces, I came across this quote from Mark Choate's book Professional Wikis
"Being propositioned by some young twenty-something about brain-dumping your wisdom into a wiki after having every utterance scrutinized by your superiors for your entire career is like suddenly being told by your wife of twenty years that she thinks you should loosen up a little and get a girlfriend."
It made me laugh - it still does - but the more I think about it, the less I'm satisfied with just laughing. Because there's something serious in there. After all, is it so obvious that we should all loosen up a little, be a little more promiscuous with our knowledge, or cognitive surplus or whatever?
