July 26th, 2007 · No Comments

Radar Networks is a San Francisco based company that is about to launch its beta product, an intelligent web service based on Semantic Web principles.
There’s an article in Wednesday’s Business Week mag about the Semantic Web, comparing the EU and US approaches to innovation, EU favoring a top-down somewhat lumbering approach that leaves most innovations [...]

What the heck is Web 2.0 anyway?

July 25th, 2007 · No Comments

Is it an application?  Is it a set of tools?  Is it a frame of mind?  Is it, finally, a combo of all that, evolving, remixing and coming up with new stuff before the old is even really understood?
Web 2.0 is–at least IMHO–at its core a result. It’s a result of the Open Source movement [...]

Porous is good: HBS Case study, Andy McAfee and Wikipedia

July 24th, 2007 · No Comments

Andy McAfee was tickled when he found out the term he’d coined, “Enterprise 2.0″ had made its way into Wikipedia.  But things went south from there: a wikipedian nominated enterprise 2.0 for deletion, claiming it was a dubious neologism.
The case made its way all the way to the high court of wikipedians, allowing McAfee to [...]

Follow the money: venture capital and Web 2.0

July 24th, 2007 · No Comments

According to this story in the Financial Times, venture capital is pouring into web 2.0 technologies–more invested in a three month period than any quarter since 2001.  Google’s purchase of YouTube last year has brought a lot of attention to the browser based movement.

A beautiful mashup

July 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

Recall KMNow’s prediction that the next new thing wll be a mashup for the various KM and CM tools an enterprise might use, a skin over everything so the end user doesn’t really ever feel the “behind-the-curtain” reality of mis-matched channels and applications–magic! It just works.

The business of blogging

July 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

Does the future belong to librarians? Is Library Sciences the new geek magnet? Rohit at Influential Marketing Blog seems to think so.
