Our friend and colleague Russell Shaw
It was with shock that I returned home from a night out last night to hear the news of Russell's passing. How terribly, terribly sad. Most of all for him, as he'd seemed buoyant, healthier, and content when I'd last seen him several months ago when he was in town - he was happy that work was busy and rewarding and was having fun with it but most of all was thrilled about how things were going with his girlfriend, Ellen. I've known Russ for what seems like ages now (in a good way) though in fact it's only been about six or seven years since the early days of "commercial" blogging when he started working on various projects at and around Corante. He was a diligent, committed, and prolific journalist who had impressively and more ably than others been able to make the transition from the old-school way of...

New blogs: mobile messaging and Supernova's Conversation Hub
We've been remiss in letting you know about two new independent blogs we've helped launch in the past month or so. The first - the ConversationHub - is a companion blog to Supernova 2007, the latest edition of Kevin Werbach's excellent conference on all things connected. As the conference site says: "Supernova examines the effects of an increasingly connected world on business, life, and public policy. As disparate physical and social networks link with one another, a new societal network is rapidly evolving... The New Network is greater than the sum of its parts. It challenges us to re-create everything from the software and hardware we use...to the business models we employ...to the information and entertainment we encounter...to the ways we work and play." Visit the ConversationHub and you'll find several dozen leading thinkers and doers, led by a few notable ringleaders, weighing in on the themes and trends of...

New blog on innovation in health care
We're helping out on another independent group-blog in the vein of the FASTforwardblog we shepherded into existence late last year. This one, backed by World Congress in support of their conference series and called the World Health Care Blog, convenes leading bloggers from across the health care industry for an intense, centralized discussion of innovation in health care. Amongst those participating: Derek Lowe, whose excellent blog on drug discovery In the Pipeline just celebrated its fifth birthday; longtime health care blogger Matthew Holt of the The Health Care Blog; new blogger but longtime industry consultant and executive Vince Kuraitis; strategy consultant David Williams of the Health Business Blog; consultant, epidemiologist, and self-described "health journalism groupie" Emily DeVoto of The Antidote; and Tony Chen, lead blogger at Hospital Impact and a business developer for a Chicago area, Northwestern-affiliated hospital and research group. Check the World Health Care Blog out and please...
