Introduce major plot elements in an off-hand manner. What is Innovation Management? « I’m Not Actually a Geek. May 28, 2009 by Hutch Carpenter Innovation “Management” as a term, doesn’t sit well w/ me. Just like Knowledge “Mgmt”. KM failed in part b/c of the inherent controlsSameer Patel, April 22, 2009 I thought this was a good comment by Sameer, as it reflects a couple things: Nascent field of technology tools that specifically facilitate and improve corporate innovation is just becoming understoodConcern that the unpredictable and rough-edged aspects of idea generation will be smothered by ham-handed managerial controls Seeing what’s happening with customers at Spigit, I can safely say that the field of innovation management is much richer and collaborative than the term might connote. With that in mind, I wanted to put forth eight elements that help describe “innovation management”
. #1: Innovation benefits from a range of perspectives For most of our industrial history, innovation has been the province of an internal R&D team. Ideas come in various forms: disruptive, product and operational. Spigit, idea management, innovation management, enterprise softw. Hutch Carpenter (bhc3) Chrome Extensions. Sthrt. The stHrt layered browsing and change user functions are unique to such services. Layered Browsing creates a layer on top of the start page giving users the ability to surf the web without having to leave their homepage bringing new efficiencies to the web browsing experience. Efficiencies gained are similar to that of tab browsing. The Change User feature also bring unique efficiencies to such start pages by allowing a single computer to be shared by multiple members who can easy switch between homepages without a complex login procedure.[3] History[edit] stHrt was launched in mid-2008.

Insights of a Catalyst in Alignment & Innovation: Idea managemen. Community Principles (Google Wave Federation Protocol) Google Wave introduces a new communication and collaboration platform built around hosted conversations called waves. The wave model enables people to communicate and work together in new and more effective ways. The Google Wave Federation Protocol is the underlying network protocol for sharing waves between wave providers. The protocol is open to contributions by the broader community with the goal to continue to improve how we share information, together. Principles The Google Wave Federation Protocol is evolving as an open source project, and as the community and technology grows, here are the guiding principles: Process The canonical instance of the protocol is maintained alongside the Operational Transformation algorithm and wave model at: A basic prototype client/server has also been open sourced to encourage experimentation.
Later on, in addition to the protocol, this project will grow to maintain a production-quality reference implementation. Netvibes.

RadiusIM, the New York-based startup behind the eponymous location-aware instant messaging service, is actively trying to find a buyer, we’ve confirmed with multiple sources. We first caught wind of the company back in August 2006, and dubbed it ‘another proximity-based IM service’. The company is not too shy about e-mailing all the usual suspects to see if they’d be interested in acquiring them outright, so either they wanted this to become public knowledge and we’re helping them, or they’re so desperate to find someone to take the service off their hands that they really had no other option left but to contact anyone who could be potentially interested by e-mail.
Or both, of course. RadiusIM bills itself as a social IM service. It’s a web-based application that enables people to communicate with their contacts on instant messaging networks such as Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, AIM, Google Talk and Facebook Chat. Experiencing Genius :: Randy Gage. Last post we spoke of the need to expose yourself to genius as much as possible. This will really turn your life around if you do. But I know what some of you may be thinking… What about if you don’t personally know that many brilliant, amazing and dynamic people? Meet them by remote control.
There are still a lot of ways to expose yourself to genius: Go to a sports event featuring David Beckham, Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriquez, Eli Manning, Rafael Nadal, or a host of others. Get a CD by Ray Charles, Prince, Pink Floyd, Johnny Lang, or Miles Davis. Or, go to a beach, forest, or mountain, and watch the sunrise or sunset, and tap into your own! P.S. Researchers spend $60M to build wicked fast circuits | NetworkW. The ability to develop high-powered network devices and systems that can see clearly through considerably dense materials or storms are the driving ideas behind nearly $60 million in contracts awarded this week to firms that are building terahertz-speed circuits.
The advanced research scientists at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are behind the project whose goal is to develop what it calls revolutionary advances in electronic devices and integrated circuits that operate at THz frequencies (at least 1.0 x 10 [to the 12th power] cycles per second). DARPA says that THz radiation can transmit through materials we normally think of as opaque: thick smoke, a cloud, fog, dust, or even the sand of a sandstorm. Other applications DARPA envisions with THz technology include: A THz imager could enable a tank traveling through dust and fog to see the vehicle ahead of it.
THz imaging could be used at checkpoints-identifying threats at distances of perhaps 30 meters. Getting More Out of Your Day. Swimfish.

Laboratories' outer limits | Mike Hulme | Comment is free | In 1997, in the lead-up to Kyoto, I helped organise a statement by European climate scientists. We proclaimed "our belief that nations should agree to substantial control in the growth of emissions", endorsing the then EU position of a 15% cut by 2010. What we didn't do was explain the personal values and ethical judgments we each made in reaching this conclusion. By signing it "European climate scientists", the impression could easily be gained that our belief was a non-negotiable conclusion of our scientific work.
As we prepare for the Copenhagen summit, I am rather critical of my naivety 12 years ago. The relationship between climate science, political and ethical judgments and advocacy has been a turbulent one ever since man-made climate change became a public policy issue. Science offers unique insights into how the physical world works and the potential consequences of different policy choices. Dec. 10, 1944: Web Visionary Passes Into Obscurity | This Day In.
1944: His dream of a global interlinked “web” of documents lying in ruins, information-science pioneer Paul Otlet dies. The Belgian bibliographer’s grand scheme to organize the world’s information made him the aspiring Google of his day, but his sprawling card catalog and decimal classification system proved woefully inadequate to the task. Some historians see in Otlet’s work a prototype of the World Wide Web and the hyperlink. Although unsuccessful, it was one of the first known attempts to provide a framework for connecting all recorded culture by creating flexible links that could rapidly lead researchers from one document to another — and perhaps make audible the previously unheard echoes between them. Anticipating postmodern literary theory, Otlet posited that documents have meaning not as individual texts, but only in relationship to each other. Midway into the project his funding was withdrawn, forcing him to scale back.
Source: Various. Trust is the New Transparency. The concept of private and confidential is taking a beating lately, and it's a pity. The age of transparency seems to be understood as a way to blow the doors open to all sorts of information that we may not have the need - or appropriate clearance - to disclose. It's not just that people may get hurt in the process, they will. Disclosing private information betrays the very trust someone has placed in you. Trust takes time to build, lots of time. It takes one careless - and selfish - act to destroy.
No, I'm not talking about whistle blowing on scams of which unfortunately we've had our fill in the last several years. What I'm talking about is more the personal kind of betrayal. Today, it's not only companies that face the privacy in the age of transparency dilemma. And opinion, we might add. Sharing information that is confidential with the media, or anyone, is equivalent to stealing.

A while ago I chewed over the problem of making it easy for members of the public to leave useful contextualised information for others in spite of opposing commercial incentives. Whether their developers intended it or not, foursquare could be the solution.
I had been incensed by a cashpoint in Birmingham’s International Convention Centre. It charged £2.50, which at the time was almost a pound more than other charging cash machines. Yet I knew full well that there was a free cash machine just a few minutes’ walk away. There were problems with this: how to find quickly the information you want to share;how to generate that information if it doesn’t already exist (eg, nearest free cashpoint on a map);how to impart that information quickly and accessibly;how to leave that information to hand without: causing criminal damage;requiring extra tools (eg Post-It Notes);risking it being removed straight away.
But now we have foursquare. Like this: Like Loading... Related In "Miscellany"
