As many know already, I’m not a fan of the term Enterprise 2.0. I think it’s derivative and boring, all at once. And yet, now people are building on it and advancing the version to 3.0.
I’m also not a fan of Web 2.0, but that one is livable. An email thread with Paul coined a [...]

Rich pinged me over IM this morning with some interesting articles comparing hedge funds to software companies. See here and here, really interesting stuff, possibly worth a blog post later, but not the focus here.
I got through O’Reilly blog post pretty fast; it’s about 400 words. I started the NYT article, but once I got [...]
All this talk about social software and swimming pools is making me crazy. We need more stupid pet postings on this blog. It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but today is Friday and it’s time to lighten it up a bit.
I was looking through the numerous junk mail catalogs we got [...]

About a month ago, I blogged about the 11g R1 documentation’s Easter Egg feature, comments. At the time, I recall thinking this was a great, easy way to engage people, but wondered if anyone would a) comment or b) reply to comments.
Color me surprised. Today, Steeve Bisson blogged about comments he made to the [...]

Rich created an Oracle space over at satisfaction, a startup focused on crowdsourcing customer service.
Their site allows companies to give customers “people-power customer service”.
I know for a fact we already have real-live people in support, but the aim here is to facilitate an open conversational approach, centered around more general issues and questions, rather than [...]

I’ve come across some interesting thoughts on productivity, creativity and physical space lately.
First, there’s this bit from Lifehacker about how ceiling height affects your thinking. The central finding of the research is that higher ceilings tend to foster abstract thought, whereas lower ceilings tend to encourage detailed thinking. Pretty cool.
Then today, there’s another bit that [...]

ZDNet has posted a short snippet of Paul’s commentary about Connect, after Dan Farber quizzed (and needled) him.
I lol’d when Paul said he had a team of developers who are web savvy. Rich apparently has cloned himself. Woo-hoo! Either that or I am now a web developer . . . bah?

Last weekend I was at my nephew’s 8th birthday party. As luck would have it, my sister had placed out a few jars of candy with a pen and paper so the kids could guess the number of items in each jar. The usual suspects of jelly bellies, gum, and mints were all [...]

Justin rightfully broke this story, and kudos to him for making it happen. Justin gets a lot of flack from bloggers and 2.0 types because he’s one of the voices of Oracle in the blogosphere. To his credit, he’s done more to turn the ship than any of us, while simultaneously get beat up internally [...]

Last Thursday and Friday I was at the Office 2.0 Conference in SF held at the St. Regis hotel. The event came off as a success and I enjoyed the venue, meeting new people and sharing my thoughts on the Enterprise Collaboration panel. I especially thought Dan Farber did a nice job keeping [...]

A couple recent nuggets reminded me of Paul’s post on trust and underlined the reasons why Web 2.0 can never be Enterprise 2.0. With Connect, we’ve come upon a new (at least to us) dimension of the social network, i.e. the explicit trust created by working together. Paul says:
When we inject trust into the equation. [...]
Yesterday, I was having one of my usual days. Trying to convince people that we need to do something different and getting blocked at every turn.
It’s incredible that no matter how good the idea, it will always be met with a challenge. It got me thinking…Are there any ideas that are SO [...]

I guess the Office 2.0 Conference made this relevant last week, but I noticed several articles that kicked IT in the teeth for holding back the inevitable advance of new web into the enterprise, i.e. Web 2.0 transforming into Enterprise 2.0.
Chris Anderson of “the long tail” fame and Computer World each had pieces on how [...]
I need to share this right before I sit on the couch watching NFL goodness for the rest of the day.
You’ll probably have 10 or so other references to this by the end of next week.
Click through for the answer(s). Enjoy.
Update: By way of O’Reilly Radar, I realized that the T&C prohibit embedding any part [...]
