Business Two Zero

Two weeks ago I did the opening keynote session at KongressMedia’s latest Enterprise 2.0 Forum in Germany. They are running a sequence of events on the topic, with good, practical case studies, reaching a high quality audience. This last session had contributions from ABB, Deutsche Lufthansa, Bayer Business Services , T-Systems Multimedia Solutions, Frauenhofer Institute […]

In part 1 of this enterprise 2.0 explanation I gave an overview of the topic and talked through some of the very few concrete examples and case studies that are out there.  Tomorrow I’ll post part 3 to  expand the definition of the topic and pick up on some of the predictions for 2009.  This […]

You may know that I’m a big fan and advocate of Twitter and the microsharing concept.  Because I follow what’s said about the product, this morning I spotted that over on Nerd World, a Time/CNN blog, Lev Grossman can’t believe Twitter is winning:
“Why is this still going on? When will market forces and/or cosmic justice […]

Last week some dialogue started between the Enterprise Irregulars on Enterprise 2.0.  Susan Scrupski set a challenge for 2009 to get one of our number, Vinnie Mirchandani,  on to Twitter.  Vinnie is an Enterprise traditionalist who is sceptical about some of the claims of Enterprise 2.0 vendors and what he calls their “egotistical positioning”  of […]

Two weeks ago I posted about a very “web 1.0″ style PDF twitter guide. I actually think this concept of microblogging short messages, somewhere between IM and email as a means of team communication and collaboration is going to become increasingly important in business.  Just like with particular email services like Hotmail, although Twitter might […]

Just yesterday (I’m on US Mountain Time, even if my blog isn’t) I was speaking In Zurich at the first SOMESSO conference. I really enjoyed it, and I’ll say more about the content another time. It was a great event in a quality venue (Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute), with classy food, top class audio visual resources, […]

The ”micro-blogging” service Twitter is heading towards the mainstream as a means to connect with a network of people you trust and admire for advice, and as a source of information.   It gets mentioned on the BBC, or even Fox News, but there are still plenty in the business community, or even the traditional IT and Communications communities who need […]

Over the last few days I’ve been watching a frustrated twitter stream from presenters and attendees at the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin. Apparently there has been plenty of WiFi downtime. You would think an organization like O’Reilly, who actually own the web 2.0 brand when it comes to running conferences, would make sure that […]

Here in the Bloggers Room at SAP TechEd 2008, the Windows users (of which I am one) are consigned to one end of the room. We have to take regular abuse from the Mac fanboys. As you can see, the score is Apple Mac 8 Windows based PCs 3. In the blog world we M$ […]

There has been too long a hiatus since the last London Wiki Wednesday (which happened to be a very “Wikipedia” oriented affair). The big gap was caused partly by me getting very distracted with a very busy few months with WordFrame and the day job, and some family stuff. However, the biggest factor was the […]
