Enterprise 2.0, what is it?

There was much discussion over the weekend about Enterprise 2.0, spurred on by the discovery that the term had been deleted from Wikipedia for being “too businessy”. The Irregulars (aka the enteprise bloggers sewing circle) debated, argued, and hypothesized over the course of what felt like 8,000 emails (not very web 2.0 but it is [...]

Joe Rosenthal, 1911-2006

That photograph from Mount Suribachi still stops me in my tracks.

Too “businessy” for Wikipedia

“Enterprise 2.0″ was removed from Wikipedia… too “businessy”… like totally.

The Ponderings of Woodrow: The word “Enterprise”…the Rodney Dangerfield of the new media:

For someone who’s assailing the validity of a neologism, does anyone else find it downright ridiculous that he used the term “businessy?” in defense of the deletion? “Businessy?!?!?”

Build systems that treat people like people

This is a Friday post which means that it’s lacking in any weight or seriousness (which apparently isn’t just for Fridays around here but it sounded good).

Rarely has there been a question that I have not found an answer to by searching or posting to this forum. [...]

Fly the Geek Flag High and Proud

in honor of LinuxWorld I thought I would post this interesting chart depicting the history of programming languages, via Nikhil Kothari, which I seem to recall having posted once before but because it’s so good I am going to repost.

I did notice something interesting in reviewing this. If you look at the proliferation of languages [...]

AT&T’s Scare Tactic Advertising

AT&T is running radio commercials that basically say “if the power goes out and you have VoIP, your phone service won’t work” and suggesting that landline service is the safest and most reliable service because it works when the power goes out.
