Even if you’ve read about it, seen photos or event stopped to visit, seeing the HP founders’ garage is inspiring. It’ an icon of for that spark of imagination and innovative spirit that still spreads through the arteries of Silicone Valley.
Watching this made me think how cool it is to have a legacy. For HP it goes back a while. They skyrocketed to greatness and managed through tough twists and turns to become one of today’s leading computer companies.
Even short-run start-ups have legacies in Silicon Valley. While many seem to disappear, their efforts actually are the growth seeds, ideas and drive that drives the innovation collective. And sure it’s the great breakthroughs and computer applications that blow the mind, but it’s the people, characters past and present, who are the core of the best stories about Silicon Valley.
This is a nicely produced visual story (kudos!) about people and technology inside HP. The second video is another nicely produced video that looks at a major change to the tiny, ever shrinking transistor — arguable the real engine of possibilities we all think of when we hear two words: Silicon Valley.

Tom Foremski of PodTech and SiliconValleyWatcher posted a timely video about the challenges of getting your company’s IT department to use or implement social media tools. Timely because Tom will be hosting a similar panel at the Intel Developer Forum, but this panel will feature IT pros, legal experts and bloggers rather than marketing and communications pros — more here.
More people are having these kinds of experiences at work and it’s helping us all learn and actually try new things with some grounded expectations — i.e. getting people to engage and interact rather than clocking the number of hits or downloads.
Before we move to the video, here is a brand new effort by Intel — Open Port, where IT pros and enterprise technology experts/enthusiasts can come and learn, ask questions, vent, meet people and help people understand how to use the latest tech tools for businesses. At first this will seem heavily voiced by Intel propaganda, but most of the stories, studies and information is about things Intel IT pros are learning as they work inside Intel and with IT shops at other companies. I hope this helps break down any walls that are keeping IT pros from running as fast as they’d like to use new technologies that help people do what they want, like and need to do in life. Of course security and risk awareness is important, but these are two issues that IT pros will has out when they gather around together with open minds and share.
Here’s video posted by Tom Foremski.
Josh Hallett and Alex Kim, from Solution Set, talk about building social media platforms within enterprises and the roadblocks that IT departments create. Lots of good advice on overcoming those obstacles. A Silicon Valley Watcher report from a meeting of the Third Thursday club held at Voce Communications, in Palo Alto. Also on TechOne: Larry Magid’s report on Google Docs and Spreadsheets; and Michael Cote talks with William Hurley about commercial open source.

Lots of great people hanging (read: drinking) and learning from each other up at Portland’s Internet Strategy Forum Summit in July. I watch from Cali as pals like Josh Bancroft helped organize folks for dinner. And folks like Intel Blogfather Bryan Rhoads was their “tapping pools of knowledge capital.” He is a great guy to learn from — big heart, good experience and great stories. Nice to hear him hook up with our PodTech pals Jeremiah and Scoble. I’ve learned so much from these guys, yet sometimes it feels like it’s just the beginning.
Bryan is Intel’s first Blogfather — they’ll be sequels — who led the first successful Intel blog pilot IT@Intel that later paved the way for a family of Intel blogs like Technology@Intel, Research@Intel and a handful of others. He has coined some of my favorite phrases like “there were pioneers, but now the settlers” are diving into social media. One of my favorites was: “One of my roles is to get out of the way” and let the bloggers do their thing. But one to live by: consensus building helps you get management to “get your back” so you can run and try things.
Watch for much more wisdom and greatness from the Blogfather staring in a new role inside Intel.

David Meerman Scott talks with Jennifer Jones of Marketing Voices about his new book The New Rules of Marketing and PR. Engagement of a community, and having good content are key to success in this new environment.PR is focusing more on public relations rather than media relations these days, but the meaning of Public and Media are both important and ever changing. It’s really about building and maintaining meaningful relationships.
There are lots of new rules out there, and this book hits an important moving target.
