Appirio CloudSpokes – For The Cloud, On The Cloud, By The Cloud (Provider)

By Krishnan Subramanian on March 1, 2011

Two weeks back, the cloud based systems integrator Appirio announced a new developer community called CloudSpokes.

They are trying to build a community [...]

YouTube and Community Guidelines could mean being locked out of your account

YouTube and Community Guidelines could mean being locked out of your account

By Dan Morrill on June 17, 2010

Two years ago I did a number of videos about using Google Hacking and how simple it was to use Google as an intelligence vehicle for sites and people who did not properly secure their infrastructure. Over the last month two of those videos were flagged by the community as inappropriate with the end result [...]

Six Factors in Emergent Innovation

Six Factors in Emergent Innovation

By Hutch Carpenter on April 21, 2010

In discussing employee-driven innovation, having a technology platform to deliver on objectives is a key part of a company’s strategy. Hard to get everyone tuned in when you rely only on email and conversations with your cubicle mates. But that’s just one factor. There are many other considerations for companies seeking to vault to the [...]

ComMetrics on Crowdsourcing Innovation: You’re Doing It Wrong

By Hutch Carpenter on December 10, 2009

ComMetrics is a social media analytics company, a division of CyTRAP Labs GmbH. ComMetrics is well-known in the industry, including its FT ComMetrics Blog Index.

The Exclusion that is a Community

By Eric Norlin on November 2, 2009

A caveat on this post: I hesitated to write this – mostly because I think it’s very easy for the author (me) to cross a line of being provocative for provocative-ness’ sake, and for readers/commenters (you) to misinterpret my meaning here. Please be gentle. There were a few tweets flying around at JiveWorld last week [...]

Management by Community

Management by Community

By Hutch Carpenter on September 3, 2009

At the Spigit Customer Summit, Gary Hamel described an innovative management approach that has stuck with me. W.L. Gore management has a hands-off approach to managing employees. Each employee is free to say ‘no’ to any request by a colleague. That’s right. Refuse to do something a colleague asks. Damn, that sounds pretty good, doesn’t [...]

Start Ups – Your Customers Are Your World

Start Ups – Your Customers Are Your World

By Ben Kepes on December 16, 2008

The best thing about the move to closer relationships between businesses and their customers is the ability to disintermediate the myriad of middlemen that characterise traditional commerce. This interest isn’t purely intellectual – in one of my other lives I own and help run a business that (gasp) manufacturers real products in (bigger gasp) a [...]
