May
An article originally posted on www.besser20.de
“In the past most knowledge management projects failed. Some even say that knowledge management is dead. But the success of social software raises hopes to revive the topic and bring it back on the companies’ agenda. But new tools are often deployed with old concepts - a strategy that will inescapably fail.”

Well, if transparency is one the key benefits of social media, it is probably what makes some enterprise so scary about it!

Online Backup Company Carbonite Loses Customers’ Data, Blames And Sues Suppliers

“The danger of storing your data in the cloud, part n.”
Read the full article at www.techcrunch.com
In my opinion…
Well, that summarizes my thoughts quite well. Online storage / backup providers are especially hit by problems recently but others can have problems too, even “big names” like Google had privacy issues with Google docs recently.
So should you avoid SaaS all together ?
Well … even if online SaaS services have some risks associated with them doesn’t mean you’re safer with just your local application on your laptop or a local server on your PME network.
In this particular case, from a data integrity point of view, hard drives in a air-conditionned datacenter are safer than a single external HDD on your desk … For backups, the best option is probably not to rely on a single layer but have both local and remote backups. For more complex services, make sure you have exit solutions in case you need to. And if you become really dependent to a service, check
what SLA you can get and also what happens if that SLA is broken.
Ultimately the choice is yours to take …

“I get calls from all types of organizations seeking guidance on their path to Enterprise 2.0 success. Sometimes I’m just in awe of the great ideas and clever tactics they ask about. And sometimes I have to hide my emotion as they explain the challenge they face. I’ll share one such tidbit — of course with fake names.”

In my opinion…
There is a lot to be learned here…
- Enterprise 2.0 needs a clear strategy
- It should be supported by Senior Management
- It should be assigned to people who actually understand and master its intricacies
- Networking is the key to many situations

MicroPlaza Is a Link-Catcher For Twitter
March
An article originally posted on TechCrunch
“It used to be that if a link was worth sharing, people would bookmark it for all to see on del.icio.us. Now, they just Twitter it (with a shortened URL). Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to separate out all the Tweets with links in them, and sort them by time or popularity? That is what MicroPlaza
does in a nutshell.”
Read the full article at www.techcrunch.com
In my opinion…
I personally find MicroPlaza very useful for discovering new tools that improve search productivity – which is the main goal of our training sessions – without being disrupted by lots of inappropriate tweets. With MicroPlaza, I go and see what links are shared by people I follow, when I have time to read (and want to), all with a pleasant interface.
