Information Radiators - Origin of the Term

Posted on 12/11/2007 by Rajeev Singh

Last week in my post on Information Radiators , the description of the term made it sound like as if it was coined 'by' ThoughtWorks. This is not the case, as per Alistair Cockburn himself. I apologize for the confusion. The term was coined in 2000 or 2001 by Alistair Cockburn while he was visiting ThoughtWorks (while staring out at the walls from Martin Fowler's office, describing the idea of "convection currents of information flow" to Martin Fowler and Ward Cunningham), and subsequently written up by Alistair in his books and articles.
