and there was me thinking Stephen and Cote were the bottleneck. Foiled by the pesky World Clock meeting Planner. How easy is it to talk to Australia, UK and US at the same time? This easy….

“What I want to suggest to you is that the personal and the public interests are not at odds, and the belief that they are mutually exclusive has kept women out of power.” Don’t you want money, credibility, access to aid in your cause?”

GREAT job Google. i will take 24 months over forever any time. This is a really positive step in the right direction when it comes to privacy, search and attention. Once again, well done Google for stepping up the responsibility of power.

i am with the EFF – this is so definitely a step in the right direction. Its time for some carrot after a fair bit of stick.

I really hate domain name squatting. it stinks. icann needs to do something about it. not every company has lawyers like Microsoft’s to protect itself. of course BigCos often get it wrong but domain name speculation is a tax on the future. which is bad.

banned from IKEA UK. how cool is that?

in which Bruce points out the enemy might perhaps maybe use a different attack this time….

pretty vicious article about Vista activiation technologies being cracked.

“The people formerly known as the audience” run RedMonk. Analysis by the people for the people.

When my toaster starts Twittering me I know I am utterly screwed. I am surprised Cote didn’t make the mashup angle to systems management notifications via Twitter. “I gotta run – SAP performance is a little spotty in Oslo.” Twitter 3.0 – push fixes too.

I like this article because it points out what Dare’s argument actually was.

I would really like to play with one of these.

Fantastic. A reverse disclaimer from tinternet. “Disclaimer: my employer is not a RedMonk client.” And for a real breath of fresh air check out Robert’s blog. No muss, no fuss, no widgets, just plain text and hyperlinks. lovely.

that is what i call a photograph

Hey Duane have you finished that yet? Tell you what- make me more more productive clientside and I will deliver those chapters I owe you. What’s that he said? Chapters? A book? James is involved in? Sounds crazy.

RedMonk is an open data company, though we don’t get hyped on it. It would be nice to change a closed and proprietary industry. We’re getting there.

I think presence will be key to SOA. Triangulation using presence will be a core identity service, because SOA badly needs context. Can x access this/ can x access this from here. WSDL not so much- i think the metadata needs to be independent.

Robertson Davies is a fantastic writer. Really fantastic. I can’t recommend him highly enough. If you’re from Canada and don’t know him you should. he is a 20th century literary genius, full of play, power, compassion and story-telling like dreams
-
I used a lot of David’s ideas in RedMonk’s advisory model but the worst advice i have ever had in business came from him. He told me to try and come off like a Cambridge professor to be taken more seriously. BS. Authenticity drives credibility.

voice is the most important user interface. period. This will be another big IBM Microsoft fight.

thinking i really don’t want people visiting RedMonk to end up at a bunch of Google links in order to try and work out what is singificant in our content. thinking the approach is not nice. time to take a look at Lucene or something?

Part-time analysts especially those who are EA’s really shouldn’t be focused on writing as this may expose them to their own media relations constraints. Instead, why not focus them towards other end-customers in terms of briefings. Consider the fact that financial services firms tend to be ahead of the curve on technology adoption over verticals such as retail or manufacturing. Likewise, folks in the UK could learn a lot from us Americans and the time zone won’t get in the way.
Additionally, I would suggest that if the particular analyst firm had the 1/2 hour format where they practice “seek first to understand” where 20 minutes of time is spent getting the end-customer to articulate their desires, any person part-time could pontificate cliche phrases for the remaining 10 minutes such as the need for executive buy-in, having a strong ROI, etc …
