Pulse
I don’t believe in PulseThe burden of curation should not be on the user.
Just like Twitter, btw.
I believe the internet is smarter than that.The intelligence is there to give individual 100% relevant information.All the relevant information should lead to some kind of action
Most companies believe the wrong paradigm…
Companies building the internet are not the heroes.
People usingthe internet arethe heroes.
We are not the Hero!
We are the ugly little dude.
We make them heroes by helping them win.
Winin the real world.
We believe social interactionshave the power to changeyour professional life
in the real-world

How do your find relevant actions?
It’s about Context
Viadeo: Newsfeed.
The newsfeed should not be limited to just my contacts.
Give me real news about my whole professional life!
