Web 2.0 in the Enterprise Think Tank

Today I participated in a “think tank” session organized by SAP Labs and the World Internet Center. In addition to a bunch of my SAP colleagues there were individuals from Google, Zoho, Abgeneal, Dojo, StrkeIron, nStein Technologies, and Socialtext.

This has been a pretty interesting day on a number of fronts, most significantly because it illustrates [...]

Jason Calacanis’ Stunt Double?

Found on Valleywag… I swear he looks just like Jason Calacanis.

Blogs in the enterprise marching forward

Take a look at our new daily news service (sorry, it’s an internal system for SAP employees). Not only is it tracking a wider array of blog content but it’s also delivered as a blog and a RSS feed, but you wouldn’t necessarily know it but looking at it and that is exactly the point… [...]

Sony struggles to make PSP more appealing

Jeez, it’s not like I haven’t written about this before…

Rocky Mountain News: Web extra:

But somewhere on the way from announcement to the hands of gamers, the PSP dropped the multimedia ball. Now, a year and a half and 4.6 million in sales since the PSP’s launch, Sony is striving to revive the non-gaming functions of [...]

Step into my Vox

I’ve had a Vox blog (Six Apart’s new service) for a couple of months and have posted very little to it, mostly just some photos. Nonetheless, it’s an interesting service that is well done and nicely integrated with other services like flickr, amazon, youtube and photobucket.

Best of all is that I scored a killer [...]

A year-long battle to get comments removed from eBay

Timely article in the Merc considering that I wrote about reputation just today. I always find it curious that people look at Ebay’s reputation system as a model, or refer to it as sophisticated. Insofar as a true reputation system it has to be absolutely primitive because it puts far too much power in the [...]

The Case Against the Business Case

It always amazed me that vendors would come out with ridiculously high ROI claims.

Andrew McAfee:

The reason companies don’t go on an IT investment binge when they see 100+% ROI business cases is that their leaders explicitly or intuitively understand these points. In fact, I think these huge ROI figures are actually counterproductive; they lead [...]

Clif Bar packing up, moving to Alameda / Berkeley’s zoning restriction prompts company’s relocation

It’s really hard to imagine any positive spin that Berkeley politicians could put on Clif Bar moving out of the city for Alameda (literally across the estuary for those of you not familiar with the Bay Area), but they are trying. This falls into the category of “you have nobody but yourself to blame” but [...]

Enterprise mashups

Okay, much to be said and written about enterprise mashups in the year ahead. For my part I am a fan, but acknowledge some big challenges ahead for vendors in this space. First and foremost, when you get beyond the “skype meets SFdC” and “Google Maps meets Houselisting.com” there are precious few examples of what [...]

The power of networks, part 1382.2c

Two seemingly unconnected events caught my attention over the last week and it was only this morning that I put them together. The first is the now well covered Photo’chopped photos that Reuters carried and then retracted, and the second was the less known case of Kevin Corazza v. Kris Krug.

In the first case, a [...]
