Most wikis only go to 10, mine goes to 11

I read this puff piece on a Portland company (via techmeme) that is hosting a wiki about other websites. Yeah, you read that right… the business is a wiki that has information about websites. The only reason I’m bothering to write about this is to point out how press release journalism does no favors for […]

My Goodness is Right…

Danny Ayers flames MÃ¥rten Mickos for giving a speech at the Web 2.0 Summit on his vision for the “great database in the sky”. Ayers criticism is that MÃ¥rten is not educated enough on the semantic web and the progress that has been made in realizing that vision while promoting a relational database ideology. My […]

Vista won’t require anti-virus software

Jim Allchin says Vista will have all the security you need so you won’t need antivirus software anymore… I am announcing today that I will no longer require oxygen. In either case the claim is one that requires a big leap of faith to believe in so Allchin is probably better off waiting until the […]

Management Consultants

Read the whole post, he pretty much nails it…

Joel on Software:

The whole fraud is only possible because performance metrics in knowledge organizations are completely trivial to game. The best part is that most management consultants, the stunningly good-looking, bright, earnest chipmunks with 4.0s in Russian Lit from Harvard who work for these companies, have absolutely […]

Veterans Day

Military.com has a great site up in honor of Veterans Day (although I do wish they would make their videos embed-able)

addthisurl = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fjeffnolan.com%2Fwp%2F2006%2F11%2F10%2Fveterans-day%2F’; addthistitle = ‘Veterans+Day’; addthis_pub = ”;

Web 2.0 University

Normally I would write this off as another attempt to ride the coat tails of a buzzword, buuutttt Dion Hinchcliffe is a legitimate authority on this subject and has a great reputation with corporate clients so this isn’t something to be dismissed so lightly.

Web 2.0 University:

Web 2.0 University is a unique opportunity for the brightest […]

Create security through increasing danger

This is an interesting theory, I wonder if it would work in the non-physical world?

Telegraph | News | Is this the end of the road for traffic lights?:

“It works well because it is dangerous, which is exactly what we want. But it shifts the emphasis away from the Government taking the risk, to the driver […]

Persistent Instant Messaging

Cliff Reeves over at Microsoft recently told me about a product from Parlano called MindAlign. This is actually a very cool product that fills an interesting gap between e-mail and instant messaging. When you think about it, both IM and e-mail are good for the narrowly defined functional target they are designed for but neither […]

Riya’s launches Like.com

Riya launched Like.com today, a new commerce service based on photo searching. I got a demo of the service a couple of weeks ago and it left me impressed and excited, if not a little bit concerned about the economic impact I would surely soon be facing.

The basic idea is this: enable someone looking at […]

Workday begins its work day

Workday has been one of the most anticipated product launches of the year, if for no other reason than Dave Duffield is driving it and everyone knows that Duffield has an eye for what works with products. It’s really a shame that Workday passed on the opportunity to brief the Irregulars prior to their PR […]
