I just came across Mari Sheibley’s Mobile UI Patterns site, and I find it really interesting.  Mari is a graphic designer and currently is lead designer for foursquare. Mobile UI Patterns shows the design of many different applications and shows how these applications implement various patterns (Activity Stream, User Profile, etc).  You can see two […]

From an organization perspective, after getting a decent project manager or scrum master, you need to have a place to share everything about the project.  I personally don’t care if you use IBM Quickr, Microsoft Sharepoint, Confluence Wiki, or eProject.  You just need to get a place to share the following: Documents that are deliverables […]

What I would be interested to know is how IDC scopes social platforms.  Is it the social networking tools created by IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Jive, Telligent and others?  Does it include instant messaging?  Does […]

Measuring the effectiveness of a portal initiative has always been a long sought-after goal.   The real to measuring effectiveness is to get people to agree on what it means to be effective.  Is that number of page hits? length of time on the page? increases in order activity? Pradeep Behl at IBM published a white […]
