Win8  like a first time visit to WalMart

Win8 like a first time visit to WalMart

By Vinnie Mirchandani on February 6, 2013

I have been playing with my Win8 Ultrabook for the last week, gradually exploring its features. My friend Louis Columbus tells me Microsoft has bought into “Personas” in its development philosophy simulating how different roles navigate its software. I think they forgot one persona – that of a tourist who enters a US WalMart on […]

Building a startup is hard and managing ops is really hard. Devops are hard and expensive. Luckily these days there are some amazing companies making it way easier to build the startup of your dreams. Frankly, I don’t think they are getting paid nearly enough while some are getting paid way too much. What apps […]

Simulation drama: 'Why IT projects fail'

Simulation drama: ‘Why IT projects fail’

By Michael Krigsman on September 19, 2011

As we all know, almost all IT implementation failures suffer from unreconciled points of view, confusion, politics, and unclear definitions of success. No wonder these situations are difficult to manage and control successfully. To shed light on the inner workings of IT failure, particularly the dynamics among stakeholders with conflicting goals and agendas, the IT […]

Product Review: Google+, Consumerization of IT, and Crossing The Chasm For Enterprise Social Business

Product Review: Google+, Consumerization of IT, and Crossing The Chasm For Enterprise Social Business

By R "Ray" Wang on July 3, 2011

Timing of Google+ Bodes Well For Enterprise Users And Google Lately, one could say Google’s been a bit absent from the social business party.  The premature launch of Google Wave exposed a canvas looking for a masterpiece painting.  Failing fast and learning from the Google Wave lesson, Google’s latest offering, Google+ shows promise in bringing […]

Facebook and T-Mobile Launch Bobsled. With Huge Privacy Glitch. Or is it By Design? Skype, Google Voice and Telcos Beware, Anyway…

By Zoli Erdos on April 19, 2011

Out of left field, T-Mobile and Facebook launched Bobsled, a VOIP service that allows voice calls to anyone on your Facebook list for free.  At this moment the entire blogging world is busy writing about it, so I skip the basics… and just run to some funny experience while testing it. First, here’s how you […]

People Centric Communication?

People Centric Communication?

By Michael Fauscette on November 17, 2010

I was mulling over the facebook email (or is that not email but messaging) announcement and looking at a bunch of the surrounding commentary when an idea struck me. First though, please don’t skewer me over the blog title until…

Research Report: How The Five Pillars Of Consumer Tech Influence Enterprise Innovation

Research Report: How The Five Pillars Of Consumer Tech Influence Enterprise Innovation

By R "Ray" Wang on October 4, 2010

Most Enterprise Software Vendors Fail To Deliver Innovation Despite hundreds of billions wasted on failed research and development projects, most market influencers would agree that enterprise software vendors have produced a dearth of innovation over the past decade.  Vendors often cite UI re-skins, major functionality additions, integration of acquisitions, technology re-platforms, and weak attempts at […]

Working Out Loud*

Working Out Loud*

By Susan Scrupski on September 13, 2010

It occurred to me recently that my blogging has all but slammed to a screeching halt.  Since the Council was bought by Dachis Group, I’ve barely managed to blog at all, and my tweeting has wound down considerably, as well.   This is not to say I’ve slowed down with social engagement, in fact, it’s […]

Skype Blocks Fring – Or Not? Fingerpointing… But Where is Skype for Android?

By Zoli Erdos on July 12, 2010

Just two days ago I reported how mobile video call app Fring enabled making video calls on 3G, even to other platforms, say Skype.  That was a huge improvement for iPhone users, since their native Facetime only allows iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 calls, and only over wi-fi.  But the new option proved to be […]
