From Elisa Camahort’s live chat coverage of Esther Dyson’s keynote interview at the Office 2.0 conference: “Work 2.0 is less about spreadsheets and word processing than it is about activity management.”
Coghead launched today, and its developers apparently agree with Esther. They embedded a BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) process engine into their offering for […]

Our three podcasts today really pumped me up. You could get an Education 2.0 by faithfully listening to each podcast in our jam (if I do say so myself). We started off with Geeky Mom Laura Blankenship covering the very real barriers to *2.0 adoption in higher education. Then future thinker Ken Camp told us […]

So the jam launched today with an awesome podcast by Richard MacManus. I was too excited about my interview with Rosemary Stasek to hold it back for later in the week. Eric Severson’s discussion of the rules of Office 2.0 in the context of content management and XML single-sourcing provided a solid introduction to the […]

Richard MacManus of Read/WriteWeb reports that Zoho is moving towards a fully integrated web office suite with their single sign-on capability. Zoho is apparently also planning a downloadable version of their software, thus moving towards the synchronized web.
The podcast jam launched this morning with a keynote by Richard. Richard is a New Zealander who writes […]

The podcast jam officially starts tomorrow, but I’ve launched the chat today in case you are “in town” early and want to come hang out at the equivalent of the conference hotel bar.
If you’re the sort that subscribes to podcasts, you can just use the main news feed in your podcatcher. FeedBurner offers a service […]

Effective software development requires attention to design tradeoffs. You can’t get everything you want all at once. For example, sometimes it’s better to use flat files for data storage instead of a DBMS. Yes, databases give you all sorts of nice features: structured data, transaction control, easy querying and analysis, better protection against data corruption. […]

The power of blogging is not that it allows us to broadcast our voice and ideas to many people, but that it supports human scale interactions, dialogues between and among people that wouldn’t otherwise happen. This is what Jeneane Sessum has called M2Y, me to you, and it’s what ProBlogger Darren Rowse wrote about today […]

In the next week or so, I’ll unveil a website that will host podcasts on the topic of Office 2.0 in association with the Office 2.0 conference to be held October 11th and 12th in San Francisco. The purpose of this experiment is to extend the reach of the conversation around Office 2.0 and to […]

It’s painful to read the conversation about the lack of women speakers at the Office 2.0 conference. Painful because the visibility of women doesn’t seem to be increasing. Painful because there aren’t any easy solutions. Painful because some people believe that women are just inferior. Painful because the thought of public speaking makes me want […]

Email really sucks as a collaboration tool doesn’t it? Everyone has to manage their own archives. New team members don’t have easy access to old discussions and shared documents. People lose or delete information that turns out to be important. Stakeholders get mistakenly or purposefully left out of discussions. Email inboxes get flooded with information […]
