By R "Ray" Wang on January 16, 2012

Social Media Explained In 140 Characters (More or Less) Some time back a tweet went out describing what all the tools were (Figure 1).  I modified this a bit and now use it in alot of presentations to audiences around the world.  More than 80% of the conference organizers usually are fine with this slide.  […]

Microsoft to file antitrust charges against Google, LOL!

Microsoft to file antitrust charges against Google, LOL!

By Denis Pombriant on March 31, 2011

What a difference a decade makes.  The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Microsoft will file antitrust charges against Google in Brussels today.  Just about a decade ago circumstances were reversed as Microsoft was the 800-pound gorilla in the operating system world.  Today Google is the monster of search and all things related to […]

The Future of Advertising the Salesforce Way

The Future of Advertising the Salesforce Way

By Denis Pombriant on February 7, 2011

Many good things were spawned by Salesforce’s Super Bowl ads. The ads themselves left us curious and wanting to know more, and that was their job.   Salesforce placed some compelling videos on YouTube, one at five minutes and another at two.  Find them here.  For me, the longer video, “Chatter.com: The Making of Do Impossible Things […]

The 8 Flavors of Social

The 8 Flavors of Social

By Bob Warfield on October 19, 2010

1.  Social built on email and message board traffic.  Perhaps Notes started this frolic, or was it IRC?  Both still soldier on quietly in their corners while forums won the day.  Xobni and others want to go back to the future. 2.  Social built on documents.  Wikis, in other words.  Blogs also get a run […]

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 […]

Can corporate social responsibility affect your company’s bottom line?

By Tom Raftery on March 19, 2010

Your company’s share price can be negatively affected if you fail to behave responsibly in your business practices.

Bring On The Inquisition! Judge Should Not Let Google Evil-doers Get Away!

By Zoli Erdos on February 24, 2010

<rant> Italian Judge Oscar Magi (photo @ TechCrunch , but I am not showing it for fear he might slap me with a privacy-invasion charge) has no idea what he’s dealing with.  He’s just allowed evil witches get away with only 6 months suspended jail sentence. (C’mon, why would their employer insist on covering up […]
