If you need the history - I had a big problem with the company (blogged here), which was resolved the day after I wrote a post about it on this site (blogged here).
A lot of people might see this as a victory for blogs and bloggers. I’d agree, sure. But, on reflection, I think it’s [...]

Fake Steve Jobs is rather more concise than me:
The Borg-Yahoo merger won’t work. Here’s why. It’s like taking the two guys who finished second and third in a 100-yard dash and tying their legs together and asking for a rematch, believing that now they’ll run faster.
Flog More Stuff 2.0

Public Relations in the Web 2.0 era? A new white paper has been produced by Squiz in association with Text 100 PR called Communications 2.0. It’s available here (registration required).

A great article in the FT this week by Sarah Murray (behind their paywall) about the power of the internet to make consumers powerful broadcasters. It ends with four quick tips for companies planning to join the social media space:
See what’s out there. New services can help companies analyse their online reputations. Blog-focused search engines [...]
Word of the Day
November 8, 2006 – 2:15 pm
Get ready for a new acronym (or is it a mnemonic?): SLATES. It’s used to describe the building blocks of Enterprise 2.0 applications. The expanded, expensive report based on Tim O’Reilly’s What Is Web 2.0? essay introduces some new ideas around the subject (free excerpt here).
But what is SLATES?* According to Dion Hinchcliffe, it’s this:

Richard Maven of e-consultancy interviews Catherine Smith, marketing director of Linden Lab, the creators of the popular virtual community Second Life.

Beneath the Surface
November 2, 2006 – 10:23 am
I did an interview with Stewart Manley, CTO of Mediasurface, yesterday. The company makes Content Management software for producing business websites, whether they be internet, intranet or extranet sites. Their customers tend to be quite heavyweight, such as the Environment Agency, NATO, Oxford University Press, and SSA Global. A far cry, in other words, from [...]

What is Edelman doing to repair the mess of the last couple of weeks? (Edelman, at the very least, sanctioned the undeclared sponsorship of a blog about travelling round the US and staying in their client’s, Wal-Mart’s, carparks. It also goes further). Richard Edelman posts tonight about a new series of initiatives:
# We are undertaking [...]
Enterprise Too, not 2.0
October 19, 2006 – 7:49 pm
Richard MacManus reports on some of the developments around Enterprise 2.0, the application of some Web 2.0 technologies and approaches to big business. There’s some debate over whether Web 2.0 is a pure consumer phenomenon and that therefore Enterprise 2.0 is a different animal.

While many of the poster children of Web [...]

Understandably enough, IT companies are represented heavily in the short list of 40 Fortune 500 companies that blog. Joining them, Intel launched its own official blog last week, IT@Intel.
Like Dell and EDS, it has gone for a group blog with a number of authors. Other companies like Sun and Boeing have a senior executive in [...]
