The attention and interest in netbooks has been on the sharp increase over the past six months. A recent post in IT Business Edge makes the claim that netbook sales can be credited with the resiliency the PC market has had through the recent recession.
When one looks for the reasons why netbooks [...]

Reflections on 2008
December 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Container Data Centers, Data Center, Web 2.0
For our final post of 2008, we reflect on the year past. In many ways, it’s a year we’d all like to quickly forget and hopefully all our conditions will change to make that so. As these things go, 2008 was also a year of changes in many regards.

Yet Another Chrome Article
October 1st, 2008 · 1 Comment · Disruptors, Technology, Web 2.0
I’ve waited for the dust to settle to log a post about Google’s Chrome, and to do so now almost seems trite since there’s already been so much content in the dialogue about browser wars, IE killers and such. I do feel compelled to make a few cursory points about Chrome, just for the [...]
Web 2.0 Collaboration Support from Chinese Government
June 23rd, 2008 · No Comments · General, Internet, Technology, Web 2.0
One of the contrarian voices in enterprise use of Web 2.0 technologies has often been doubt of the value of the “Wisdom of Crowds.” That is, an apprehension that the input from widespread collaboration may have only marginal value toward the development of the product or initiative, or even worse- will be a waste of [...]

Web 2.0 and ITIL
June 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Business, ITIL, Web 2.0
I’ve spoken often about the promise of Web 2.0 technologies for the enterprise (and society in general) and the potential of rich collaboration that these technologies facilitate. Recently, I’ve been working on a concept that applies a social networking layer on top of ITIL processes. Let me elaborate on that a bit.

Multiple Skins: Still a Problem for Social Networking Sites
June 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Business, General, IS Security, Internet, Technology, Web 2.0
I’ve written before about how the various aspects of our lives drive us to use multiple online personas, and that this is a shortcoming of social networking sites today. What I’m referring to here is that we all wear multiple “skins,” and to represent these personas online one needs separate profiles on separate social networking [...]

Code of Conduct for Data Centers
May 20th, 2008 · No Comments · Business, Data Center, IS Security, IT Roadmaps, Internet, Web 2.0
Over the past year, the European Commission has been sponsoring the development of a Data Center Code of Conduct to address the increasing energy consumption, environmental, economic and supply security concerns of the data center community. If you’d like to read it for yourself, it can be found here.

Collaboration: Wisdom of Crowds and Power of Choice
May 16th, 2008 · No Comments · Business, Technology, Uncategorized, Web 2.0
In many discussions about Web 2.0 technologies’ role in the enterprise, it’s interesting to me to notice the skeptical voice and contrarian opinion. These are valuable points of view, and essential for one to properly vet the application of the technology in terms of value delivered to the Business.
Many times, the contrarian voice represents the [...]

Web 2.0 Collaboration: Contrarian Food for Thought
May 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment · Business, Internet, Web 2.0
As I’ve mentioned numerous times before, Web 2.0 technologies are of great interest to me because of the potential I see to amplify communication, collaboration and business processes in general. I’ve been working on the creation of a social layer on top of ITIL service management right now, and almost daily I’m seeing other [...]

Multiple Skins- A Common Shortcoming of Social Networking Sites
April 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Business, Web 2.0
I have a strong interest in Social Networking Sites because I see enormous potential for positive change and productive collaboration across all dimensions of the social grid. I just wish I didn’t have to use so darn many of them at the same time.
If you’re a participant (or a “joiner,” to use the vernacular of [...]
