Forum Of Note: Conflict Management

It's been a while since I've done this, although a lot of people have sent in great suggestions! (keep it up)

Today's forum of note is Conflict management, which is run by Ehteshamul Haque and moderated by Sujeet, Pain is my fuel, and Hanspeter.

What made this forum really stick out to me was the fact that it was not some "cheap advice" forum operating on theory, but rather real solutions for the real world.

Some interesting conversations include:

• Resolving conflict between two different bosses


• Getting work done at work (for all you procrastinators)


• Surviving the politics of rival departments (I've been there before)


• And last, how to deal with those "Mr. Know-It-All's"

For those of you fortunate enough to work at a company where its "every person for him/herself," then this forum is definitely for you.

Do you have a forum you think I should cover? Let me know by shooting me an email.

Note: Will add this forum underneath Forums of Note in the sidebar.

Forum Of Note: Brain Teasers

After surfing Orkut for interesting (and active) communities, both those I've visited and as well as some of the new ones appearing, I thought I would start off the Forums of Note with Brain Teasers.

Brain Teasers is not a community for the impatient, lazy minded individual who enjoys avoiding problems. What makes this community great is that users are always posting new puzzles to solve with everyone else trying to take a shot at finding the correct answer.

Here are some interesting puzzles/riddles that may give your brain a headache from over thinking:

• Firewall Escape Room (good for beginners)
• Busy In Office (no one has solved this yet)
• NeutralRiddle (a very popular one)

Note: Thanks for everyone sending me emails over the holiday weekend to check out some very interesting forums. If you have found a very interesting community inside Orkut, let me know by emailing me or posting a comment below.

Forums Of Note (Those Interesting Communities)

When I first started this blog, one of the things I enjoyed doing was highlighting the various interesting forums that users could find within. I started posting about them frequently, but then it became too much to update about them every week.

After checking out blogger's description of Blogs of Note (and actually being selected as one) I thought this would be a great way to highlight these interesting communities of Orkut without burning out.

Since Orkut is a big playground to explore in, I was wondering if any users came across any interesting communities while surfing Orkut? If so, let me know and I'll start featuring these forums underneath Forums of Note (on the sidebar) for all to see.
