Veröffentlicht 10 Nov 2008 von John EckmanTags: Community, Design, Digg, Direct Consumer Engagement, Facebook, Information Architecture, interface, Recommendations, Social Networking, User Experience, User-Centered Design, Web 2.0

When the World Wide Web first hit popular consciousness, the major challenge for designers was to understand that the web wasn't print. The conventions, patterns, and approaches that traditional design had prepared them to rely on were no longer valid, and they needed to develop new conventions for the new medium. + Read more

E-Government Lösung - Ein dynamisches Mitarbeiterverzeichnis
Veröffentlicht 24 Oct 2008 von Michael RuossTags: Community, E-Government, Facebook, Government, JavaScript, Personalization, Personas

Im Jahr 2008 wurde das Departement für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit (DEZA) einer grossen Reorganisation unterzogen. Ein Grossteil der Angestellten der DEZA wurde in Folge dieser Reorganisation in neu geschaffene Organisationseinheiten transferiert, was dazu führte, dass während der Übergangszeit niemand mehr genau wusste, wer wofür zuständig ist.  Diese Wissenslücke soll durch ein umfangreiches Mitarbeiterverzeichnis im Intranet geschlossen werden. Im Rahmen der stetigen Weiterentwicklung des Intranets der DEZA haben wir dieses Personenverzeichnis entwickelt. + Read more

Fixed the Alfresco-Ringside File Upload Problem
Veröffentlicht 04 Jun 2008 von Jeff PottsTags: Alfresco, Content Management, ECM, Enterprise 2.0, Facebook, Ringside Networks

I've been playing with Ringside's Social Application Server. In my initial post on the subject I mentioned I was having trouble with the file upload. I got that put to bed this evening. As it turns out, Facebook inserts some hidden fields into form tags (see doc) such as the Facebook user, API key, session key, and app ID. Ringside doesn't insert those fields. + Read more

I've made moderate progress getting Alfresco and Ringside integrated. If you haven't played with it yet, Ringside Networks is an open source project that essentially gives you a standalone Facebook server. There's actually more to it than that, but for this + Read more

A lot of activity is going on right now in the industry regarding widgets and how and why to use them. It seems daily another announcement is coming out about how someone is making available content to by shared on blog sites, Facebook, MySpace, and other web sites in an effort to improve the user experience on the site and at the same time monetize the additional audience exposure those sites bring for both the content owner and the publishing web site. + Read more

Open Social is a start, but not the whole picture
Veröffentlicht 10 Jan 2008 von John EckmanTags: Facebook, Google, Open Source, Platform, Social Networking

When Google luanched Open Social, many hailed the announcement as the end of walled-garden social networks, and the arrival of cross-network connections. While that enthusiasm may be too early, it is certainly going to be an important step forward. What open social really addresses, though, is application portability not social graph portability. This will be more valuable to application developers than to users, who will benefit only indirectly. + Read more
