Will IBM compete with Facebook/Web 2.0?

Earlier today I had a fascinating Skype conversation with Luis Suarez, a knowledge management consultant with IBM. We were chewing the fat over topic du jour Facebook/Web 2.0 and how that compares with Notes. I'm not a Notes fan. Not because it is clunky (which versions prior to v.8 most...

The case of the missing iPhone 3GS's

When I finally filled my iPod Touch 16GB and realized that I really do like a lot of the iPhone apps, it was time to bid my Nokia N96 which has been a problem child goodbye and go straight for the top: an iPhone 32GB. I'd not...

Micro-emailing: The 2009 email brevity challenge

I've had several discussions with my Twitter pals over the last year about how being forced to fit our thoughts into 140 characters or less has made us slightly more succinct elsewhere. For me, quite frankly, that is a miracle. I'm someone who may be considered to be... loquacious. ...

StatusHQ: another Twitter clone for enterprise

  Twitter clones are starting to come out the woodwork. The latest candidate is StatusHQ, which surfaced last Friday and which my pal Luis Suarez describes as: "What Twitter could have been." Maybe, maybe not. The central premise behind StatusHQ is that individuals can...

Blog fight: on dumping email servers

Our old friend David Berlind is proposing that traditional Exchange/Notes email servers be banished in favor of Gmail, arguing that it is not a case of 'if' but 'when' enterprise starts shifting email and calendaring to the Internet cloud: It's only a matter of time before the remaining rub...

Google for enterprise: my $500 bet

Robert Scoble believes that Google is making a run for the enterprise and that over the next five years will grab at least some share of that market, specifically in email. He might be right but I'm willing to bet $500 that he's wrong. This is what I see...

The announcement of new storage pricing by Google has certainly set off a flurry of chatter. Zoli Erdos doesn't think it's a rip off, while Larry Dignan is more than a little confused. Earlier in the year, Jeremiah Owyang took the polemic view, asserting that: Online Data Storage will...
