Comment on Facebook = Evil. Quit now or die! by Kent

That’s the reason why a lot of people move to Google+. Google+ has social circle which they don’t share with each other unless you allow it.

I agree with you Tim, online social world will never able to replace the real (offline) social world. In fact, if we spend a lot of time on virtual (online) social world, it makes us feel empty, feel lonely when we don’t have internet connection.

Just noticed this great article by Ray Wang (mentioned as Analyst of the Year in the chart above) on how to construct the collaborative analyst firm of the future. Also some good Q&A in the comments section. http://blog.softwareinsider.org/2010/07/24/personal-log-the-7-tenets-of-building-a-star-analyst-firm/.

Comment on Measure the collaboration that’s already going on by Ting ZHANG

Ting ZHANG — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 11:13:28 +0000

There is a growing tendency of corporate sharing and collaboration through social software. Employees and colleagues need to have access to best resources available (best practices and experts) to get things done. Who are the experts? What are the practices? The employees are the experts. Their fact-proved experiences are the best practices. There should be an e- platform within organizations to support employees’ ‘story-telling’ and team collaboration. Obviously, the team performance would benefit from it.

Hi, Tim, looks like you are quite interested in corporate knowledge sharing and collaboration. I would be very happy if you could drop me a message to my mail box so that we could continue the talk on this topic!

Comment on Obama should look to Portugal on how to fix schools by traductor jurado ingles

Yes, Portugal is not even a very cold country. But the limited budget the school struggled with forced the heating to be kept at a minimum…
Prepare you teachers before put Laptopts in the classrooms, otherwise they will be your next problem and the unmotivated ones, not the kids!

Comment on How to Measure the Value of Collaboration by Ashok Nawani

Bigger challenge is also “What to measure” & “Are there tools to measure” within Collaboration to measure once we decide what to measure ?

Thanks,

Comment on Are Social Media Elitist? by joeedh

joeedh — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 07:02:40 +0000

Elitist self-hate is arrogant, condescending and self-destructive. From the Internet to online gaming, from MySpace to Facebook (yes, really!), to writing clubs to art forums–the intermixing that goes on is absolutely unbelievable.

Do you have any idea what “helping” someone from a position of self-hate and guilt *does to that person*? Any idea at all?

Stop being so self-centered. This isn’t about you. Including people is human nature when all participants feel safe. And the Internet tends to make people feel safe as part of its nature.

I tried to post a comment on upper-class Southern self-hatred. I see it wasn’t approved. My point stands; I’m sick and tired of the privileged class constantly self-destructing, infecting the rest of us with the self-destruction then wondering why things don’t get better.

Comment on Will Facebook be your CRM provider? by Tel

Tel — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 21:48:54 +0000

Think for a moment about Customer Relationship Management, now look at all the brands shown above. All of them are instant gratification products, quickly consumed, easily replaced by another of the very large selection of similar products on the market. These products benefit from brand awareness advertising, but there is no customer relationship to manage. When did you last take a can of Coke in for a routine service?

Real CRM is about longer term purchases such as cars (require maintenance and spare parts), computer software (needs bug reporting, upgrades, etc), big ticket whitegoods (longer warranty).

If I want to know whether I like Coke, I just buy a can and give it a try, if I don’t like it I just don’t buy any more. Nothing Coke does will change personal taste, the best they can do is encourage me to try it in the first place. If I’m thinking about buying a new fridge then I know I’m going to be stuck with it… so I’ll do a lot more research for a fridge purchase than I would for a can of soft drink. In the case of the fridge I’m going to want to know how other people went with it, how long it lasted, does it get noisy over time, etc.

Suppose I find a comment on a blog where someone says they really hate the taste of Coke… no big deal, not everyone likes the same thing, it’s not going to stop me giving it a try. If I find a comment on a blog saying they bought some brand of fridge and it broke down in the first 12 months, that’s going to put me right off the brand.

Comment on When the success of the guild trumps the TPS by Colin

Colin — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 18:36:48 +0000

I think this is correct but not just for the reasons stated. Gamers I believe are generally loners who stand or fall by their own efforts and prefer it that way. Combine this with a very focussed approach to the exclusion of what is generally considered as social activity also results tiredness and fatigue. All these characteristics mean that gamers are better not selected for work which requires teamwork and integration!

Comment on Barrick Gold ups the open source ante by Rohit Agarwal

Rohit Agarwal — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 14:38:01 +0000

Information is no longer something to be hoarded and protected. This definitely makes the work of information managers in any company MORE important and challenging. It also shifts the responsibility of information management higher up the hierarchy, right up to the top. The conversion of information into knowledge is an aspect that requires professional attention at the highest level. According to Peter Drucker, it is a leadership function to identify the informational requirements of the organization. The CEO must tell the CIO what is it that he’s looking for, and not vice versa.
While organizations are obsessed with information about customers, according to Drucker we should be looking at what the non-customers are doing to be able to strategize.
