I found this while browsing a recent post by Stuart McIntyre on his Collaboration Matters blog.  Deloitte just published a study on measurable business performance improvements with social software.  Like Stuart and this study, I agree that there are some serious business outcomes from social business.  I think that it will change the way we […]

Liferay has released performance whitepapers for both Liferay 5 and Liferay 6.  I got a chance today to review Liferay 6 specs and it looks like they have made some significant strides in performance.  Before I point you to the white papers or take two diagrams for comparison, keep in mind that performance on any […]

So I recently blogged on a white paper by Martijn Linssen.  I got the chance last night to read it more in depth and thought I would post my thoughts on where I agree and don’t agree with his views on a Social Business Revolution………or lack thereof. Martijn makes some good points We need a […]

Martijn Lessnen has a 24 page whitepaper out on the Social Business Revolution.  He draws out a fair number of good points about the difference between social media, social networks, and social business. He also dives into the people who are affected……or not affected by social business tools.  I like the points he makes about […]

By way of Tony Hollingsworth who posted on Linked in, Jeremiah Owyang has an article out about where social media is today.  Given that social media is 2.5 years and the tools I see out there, I would probably say it’s more like 2000 but he’s got a point.  The day is still young in […]

Denise Hatzidakis at Premier, Don Lewis at BCBSMN, Jonathan Distad, and myself spoke briefly on strategies for enable social business.  The presentation is available for your viewing pleasure: If you are intersted in follow on conversation or want to post your own two bits, we created a community at Greenhouse.

Alan Weintraub tweeted about this blog post by Nate Elliott at Forrester. He takes a look at how social media metrics should be different depending on who is looking at the data.   Keeping in mind that his is focused on social media and not what I would term social networking (see previous blog post), I […]

Oracle has posted their WebCenter LaunchVideo. I found it on Peter Mosovits’ blog.

I think we sometimes overlook a key difference in what we are doing with collaboration today vs how we tried to make it work in the past.   In IT, we like objects.  We like to store data. We like to store documents.  We like to create Master Data Management systems.   All too often, we […]

Microsoft has a large number of web and video based tutorials on their Silverlight.net site.  Given that this is a technology that can be used on multiple web browsers, OS’s, and portal platforms; It’s an option worth considering when you think about Rich Internet Applications.
