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?* Continue reading Word of the Day One thing you have to love about ZDNet blogger Dion Hinchcliffe are his wacky infographics. Here’s Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 in a pretty scary nutshell: Here’s what it all means. (I’ll comment on this when I have time to do it justice). And here’s his flickr set of similar Not really. Though if you stretch the stats enough you can make it seem that way. From Mediapost’s Online Media Daily: Web 2.0 sites make up the fastest-growing category on the Web – doubling their traffic over the last year, according to data presented Monday by Nielsen//NetRatings. Web 2.0 sites, defined loosely as Nice interview on Techcrunch about Vox, the new social network/blog platform from SixApart. I have to confess that I didn’t really see the point of Vox when it first appeared, given the existence of all the other social networks out there. SixApart’s Andrew Anker explains: More importantly to Vox, we believe I expect you’re fed up of waiting for my book to appear. I know I am.

Citrix was founded in 1989 – before the web existed – and its Metaframe products to provide remote desktops over the Internet have been around since the late 90s. Historically, internet connection speeds haven’t been fast enough for enough of us for such products to be of much interest. However, that’s definitely changed over the last couple of years. Today, I’ve been playing around with the Citrix remote desktop service from Extrasys, a UK provider. You buy it on a subscription basis, depending on number of seats, software requirements and other service elements such as renting thin clients (very basic computers that basically act as an internet connection). In many respects, there isn’t a great deal to say or do, because you simply get a copy of Windows delivered over the net, which won’t seem very glamorous, new or exciting compared to the pretty creations from flickr, etc.
A new survey from Nielsen NetRatings entitled ‘The 21st Century Digital Consumer’ shows that most British people are nothing of the sort. The majority of those polled have ‘never heard of’ a slew of new(ish) internet and home entertainment technologies. And this wasn’t a poll of the general population, but of internet users. |
