In that post, I gave examples of how naysayers reacted to social media tools in the past - and how they were left in the dust of those who experimented with these web 2.0 tools. So, where do these naysayers come from? Why is there a resistance to web ...

IBM’s got BlueTwit. Oracle’s testing OraTweets. SAP’s experiments include ESME, SAP Talk (laconi.ca), ShoutIt and apparently others. Yammer has an ad-hoc base at thousands of companies.

Most people when they see Twellow they think one of two things: the first is “this is a yellow page for Twitter” and the second is Twitter Web Directory. When I saw it the first time I thought so too and since both options are not so “sexy” I wasn’t excited. Recently, I look at Twellow again and this time I thought LinkedIn! There is also something not too exciting (some even say boring) about ...

Hank Williams Most of the world’s most important information has structure. To be clear, by structure I mean the data has separate fields for its component parts, like for example, a contact has separate fields for first name, last name, address city, country, etc. This structured information is where most of the value from the Internet resides. For example, all e-commerce is centered around structured data like product information records which have fields like part ...
