Where will the social developers code? And what?
Dion Hinchcliffe wrote a very interesting piece, and I missed it. But thanks to John Rymer I picked it up. John shared an interesting question indeed: Client gives up on enterprise PaaS deal with #Salesforce.com, asks me for options. Focus is “systems of engagement.” Interesting question. — John Rymer (@johnrrymer) February 16, 2012 We [...]
How Klout could make Twitter a better place
I’ve written my fair share of posts on Klout. 1.5 years ago I started off with a mild post called “Why I have doubt about @Klout” At the beginning of that I stated First of all, I highly appreciate the service – and I ended with 11 extra Klout points in 12 days on the [...]
Migration 101 – follow the white rabbit
It seems that not every migration is welcomed by applause these days, reasons for which can usually be attributed to a definite lack of success. So, here’s a checklist that will help you achieve success. Of course the list is condensed and a lot of detail is left out, as it’s just a lot of [...]
Telotecture – architecture’s complement
Architecture – as I took 4 years of Greek it’s always meant the same word to me: that what stands at the beginning of construction, “ἀρχι-τέκτων”. Tekton is a builder / carpenter, and I was sure there was a verb tektein, but after looking for hours I’m afraid that this is it. At least arche [...]
Open Source and Cloud, Mobile, Data: what goes where?
After an interesting question from Matt Asay I gave a few answers, then decided that Twitter’s not always suited for long conversations (ahem) I’m working on the theme for OSBC2012. I want to highlight the connection btwn cloud/mobile/data. Can someone help me express that? My first reaction was that these words are big, and could [...]
The myth of standardisation
After reading the ERP paradox by Kailash Awati, I had that “Oh yes” feeling of recognition: someone was hitting the nail right on the head here. Standardisation is a myth, especially when you go global. There are two simple reasons for that: customer demand and business supply Ask a CEO what makes his business so [...]
Klout’s True Reach? Simply your follower count
In yesterday’s post I busied myself with new ways of looking at Twitter statistics. Today I was suggested to compare them to Klout scores. I did, and I found out that their True Reach – that vast, impressive number that you probably look up to – is nothing more than a simple mathematical equation Klout [...]
Twitter stats redefined – now measuring true influence?
I had a small revelation the other day while on Twitter and chatting with Alan Berkson. As you may or may not known, I’m a self-proclaimed statishist, meaning that I really get excited by statistics, or stats for short I did a few calculations on 20 Twitter people, taking their latest 1,000 followers, and looking [...]
Social silos adding to enterprise silos? Not with proper Integration
Laurie Buzcek called out for Integration as a solution for the failure of Enterprise 2.0 and Social Business – which she equates to each other – and I couldn’t help but think of Tibbr when reading her post Dion Hinchcliffe responded with a post in which he also stresses the integration of social media with [...]
The SI is dead. Long live the Supplier Integrator
Have we reached peak SI is a splendid post by Peter Evans Greenwood about the changing IT world. On one side of the boxing ring there is the traditional system integrator, on the other side there is a multitude of change agents: Business taking back budget for IT spend from local IT On-demand and on-time [...]
The packages – customisation MQ
I got Rt’ed today on the #ITF11 hashtag: RT @MartijnLinssen: @johnrrymer @TomGrantForr There is no one-size-fits-all. Pure packages is wrong, as is pure customisation #ITF11 >YES and that’s basically all I have to say about it – not. There is a human tendency to do either-or. Black or white, good or bad, pretty or ugly [...]
Implementing Social: don’t use the C-word
The C-word is being used quite frequently these days. I have had quite a few dialogues and discussions about it, and it almost looks like the C-word is the new black – or white, in this case. To me, it shows that Social is hitting mainstream and getting implemented here and there. Maybe the evangelists [...]
How Google’s Android language architecture is dead wrong
I love my HTC Desire. I held on to my Sony Ericsson P800 for 5 years, turning from an early adopter into a laggard, sending mobile text-only tweets via WAP up until the early Summer of 2010 – that started to feel awkward at some point. So in August I entered the “always on” world, [...]
Social Business Revolution
Social Business (R)evolution by Martijn Linssen (sample) The current world is abuzz about Social. Social networks, social media, Social Business: all things social. People, Twitterati and even a small number of companies embrace the diverse ideas and notions of Social, trying to sell and implement them That movement is a natural counter reaction to [...]
The simple secret to knowledge curation
Of all the Social Tools out there, most if not all of it is free text to the power of three. Notwithstanding the huge progress made – getting conversations in writing and saving them for eternity – it gets increasingly harder to make heads or tails of them. Why favour conversation or thread A over [...]
