Business Two Zero

One of the reasons I was disappointed I didn’t get to Boston for this week’s Enterprise 2.0 event was to see the face off between Andrew McAfee and Tom Davenport, moderated by Dan Farber,  over the relevance of Enterprise 2.0.  However, I would probably have been slightly disappointed again, as I was hoping that Andrew […]

A few blog snippets:
The guys at Ning, which you can use to create your own social network on anything, have realised how important linking in to Facebook has become.  The’ve just released a new feature for Network Creators where you can add the ability for your members to promote videos, music, podcasts, and photos from […]

You may know that I’m a big fan of the Blogtronix web publishing engine, a “CIO friendly” platform which brings together blogs, wikis, document management, social networking tools, and RSS feed aggregation. What I mean by “CIO friendly” is that it is based on technology the corporate CIO is likely to be comfortable with (Microsoft […]

This slide show popped in to my Enterprise 2.0 alerts today.  It contrasts the old style email based culture with the new enterprise 2.0 way of working using IM, wikis, blogs and RSS feeds.  It elegantly gets the message across.  If you’re stuck working from your inbox, you need to take heed before you get […]

While I was travelling home on the Tube on Wednesday I overheard two separate conversations referencing Facebook, and I saw article over someone’s shoulder in the free London Lite newspaper (or maybe it was Metro, but one of those anyway).  When this kind of thing happens you realise that something different is going on and […]

One of my favourite topics for discussion these days, which I’ve written about before, is the current state of the education system in the UK (and USA and the rest of the West).  These days I’m often raising it with people to gauge their reactions as part of the backdrop to the book that I’m […]

After the Microsoft swimming pool in April, this week’s London Wiki Wednesday was hosted by Conchango on a stylish empty floor of their offices - a converted, trendy Georgian warehouse just South of Southwark Bridge.  My thanks to Julian R. Harris and Jemma Gilman for being such great hosts and providing the facilities, food, beer […]

Actually I’ll be posting about yesterday’s London OpenCoffee Club later on, but I couldn’t resist putting up this photo.  David Tebbutt has just switched to a Windows Mobile based XDA Trion PDA.  Dennis Howlett has just  switched to a Nokia N95 smart phone.   Apart from David’s initial woes, he seems happy carrying his life around […]

Tonight’s London Wiki Wednesday looks like it will be a good one.   51 attendees signed up so far, and maybe some more of the London Girl Geeks will come after chatting to them last night.  Conchango may need to organize a bigger room, or maybe it will be intimate like the February meeting. 
I’m delighted to […]
