This week I fell into two (mostly) enjoyable rabbit holes. One was digging into the writings of Tony Seale (one of The Knowledge Graph Guys) after a few friends had shared his posts in LinkedIn. The hedging of the enjoyability stems from the utter poor environment LinkedIn is for finding, holding on to, sharing outside the confines, and working with wonderful ideas in one’s own space and properly giving attribution. Only posting information in LinkedIn is like going to a huge supermarket, but cooking, and serving your creation there. LinkedIn is poorly built for this intention. If you care about the ideas you are creating and sharing, put them where you control them and others who are inspired and want to find and interact more with your ideas and you can do so far more easily.
That aside, I did enough battle LinkedIn’s incredibly poor interaction design and information design for idea sharing to find an abundance of good ideas shared by Tony Seale. So many framings are at a good level of a little more than simple but crafted well to have concepts that are difficult for others to grasp easily put closer to within their reach. I am always looking for explainers like these to share and for inspiration. But, even better when the ideas and framings are really solid, like Seale’s.
I dug back into the blog of The Knowledge Graph Guys, which is good, but is lacking a name and the posts don’t have the consistency of the same voice, which is to be expected. But, give names to the different voices.
I found some of Seale’s posts on his Tony Seale – Medium space. These Medium posts focus more on complexity, which I enjoyed as well.
I pulled some notes and graphics from Tony Seale’s LinkedIn posts, but I’m still pulling all of that together (see frustration with LinkedIn). I really like the linking to prior content and outside material in his posts as well as those in The Knowledge Graph Guys (which isn’t all guys). Many of the posts I agree with as stand-alone pieces, but I need to pull them together in context to see those connections. (It is also ironic that Knowledge Graph focussed content uses LinkedIn as the only instance where getting and retaining connections, as in a graph, is quite difficult.) That said it is likely worth your time digging.
I seem to have left pieces of myself scattered around the internet. This is my attempt to pull some of those pieces together.
