Given the number of users who deploy ad-blocking software in their browsers, and the complete blindness to banner ads exhibited by most website users who haven't bothered to deploy ad blockers, it isn't surprising that the industry continues to seek a replacement (or at least a supplement) for the standard banner ad. + Read more

It's quite difficult, as many of you probably know first hand, to keep track of all the various platforms, vendors, and open source projects in the social computing and enterprise collaboration space.

One danger of reviewing a book is the reality that the reviews ultimately say more about the reviewer, and the book he or she wishes had been written, than they do about the book which actually was written. It's in that context that I offer this review of Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technology, by Forrester Research analysts Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff, published by Harvard Business Press (note: disclaimers at the end of the post). + Read more

Was bedeutet die Versionierung einer Online-Practise? Sicherlich nicht die Ankündigung eines neuen Software Releases. Die Online-Practise E-Commerce benötigt neue Impulse. + Read more
