Interesting snipets from an Internet with Groove's Ray Ozzie. Internetnews.com yesterday posted an interview with Ray Ozzie. Reporter Susan Kuchinskas caught up with Ray recently when he spoke at Kevin Werbach's Supernova Conference. Her first question to Ray: Is Groove Notes done right? Ray's reply: “The contrast mostly is that Notes, besides being e-mail, was…

This article could have gone in a lot of different directions. They talk about employee experimentation, changing HR practices, but only touch on an important point. I think people are overwhelmed with new technologies that IT thinks is cool or that a director or VP has heard is cool and wants to implement. Sure, I've…

“If you build it, they will come.” That was definitely the mantra of the online world for the first few years. Then, people became obsessed with building traffic to their sites. Which makes sense if you're revenue model depends on advertising, but for many of the sites I used to work on if we succeeded…

I think everyone who blogs and uses RSS to some degree knew this would be coming. But it really only makes good sense. If I want to know about the new widgets from Acme Co. Getting another e-mail in my inbox isn't going to help me much. A webfeed though, I would like. I know…

Obviously, this space is heating up. Notice how many new P2P collaboration applications there are lately? With all the problems of Napster and Kazaa, many spoke of the end of P2P. But with IM so popular and these P2P apps not really all that different, I knew P2P would start to really pick up. Now…

I'm only using IE (or AvantBrowser) if there is a site that doesn't work with Firefox (my eFax provider doesn't work with Firefox, for example). Personally I haven't had very many problems using Firefox either, so I'm sticking with…

I'm going to briefly depart from my usual blog topics to comment on two holidays early in July that are important to me Canada Day and The Fourth of July. I was reminded today by a post on Contentious by Amy Gahran about National Public Radio (NPR) in the States doing their annual reading of…

Amy is right on the mark here! And the article on CMS watch is a must-read for anyone working or starting to work in this space. I think one of the real barriers to collaboration and KM is ease of use and flexibility. In one former company I worked in Lotus Notes was the collaboration…

It appears that many companies feel the Holy Grail of desktop computing is search. I'm not sure I totally agree with them, but I can certainly see the powe in the Blinkz model where you could find information online related to your current document. My first thought is that it would be a boon for…

Robin's summary of Mike Rundle's article is quite good, as are his comments on the article itself. It's got me thinking about this…hmm Tris Hussey, independent publisher. Probably, not. Mike Rundle writes about how the weblog medium is morphing into something more than just a “daily-updated website”. Finally someone is taking note! He writes:”A weblog…
