Software industry. Carol Bartz will turn Yahoo around What is it about human nature that so many people lead to go for the negative right away? Carol Bartz' appointment to CEO of Yahoo is new news - hot off the press - and the Reuters news title is New Yahoo CEO lacks Web and deal-making chops. They do credit her business skills but go straight to her lack of Internet experience and that she has a history of doing small and medium deals - implying she doesn't have the chops for Microsoft. Frankly, I think Carol's a great pick for Yahoo. I agree 100% with what she's quoted as saying "I just see this company as a company with enormous assets that frankly could use a little management, and I love leading, love managing, love making decisions," she said. Carol is direct, smart and a fast decision maker.

I'm thrilled for her, for Yahoo and for the Valley tech community. Addition: Carol's compensation is also set up very well - a win-win for her and the investors.

By Dan Pallotta | 11:47 AM December 22, 2009 Anyone who has thought about it for more than a nanosecond agrees that “nonprofit” is about the worst possible summary we could give of ourselves and our work.

As I wrote recently, the word “profit” comes from the Latin noun profectus for “progress” and the verb proficere for “to advance.” Thus, “nonprofit” means, etymologically, nonprogress. This is not a simple case of mistaken meaning. It is a dangerous unconscious statement of intent, or lack of it. The term has its roots in the Puritan conviction that the self was depraved and must be negated. Even on the basis of the modern understanding of profit, the nonprofit sector suffers from the distinction of being the only sector whose name begins with a negative, as professor Allen Grossman noted.

If that weren’t bad enough, there’s this from author James Hillman: “Definitions using negation or privation are psychologically unsophisticated. So what should we call ourselves?

Live data gathered from real enterprise networks shows major presence of Twitter, Facebook, SharePoint raises security concerns It's not just all talk: Social networking and collaborative applications are well-entrenched in enterprise networks around the globe, according to a new report that draws from real network data in more than 200 organizations.

Nearly 40 percent of the 651 applications found on the networks covered in the report are Web-based, collaborative-type apps, such as social networking, blogging, and Wikis. SharePoint, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging all experienced double- and triple-digit increases in frequency of their usage in an organization. And more than 70 percent of these applications are browser-based, according to Palo Alto's findings, which were gathered from organizations in financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, government, retail, and education between March and September of this year.

Then the economic downturn hit us hard. Then a shift in the need began. This new use case is now rippling through the enterprise mashup technology sector. I still believe that end user empowerment is the nirvana for enterprise mashups. Category: Uncategorized Tags: What IF We Redefined Influence? The New Influence Factor in Soci. The role of influence is changing and diversifying and with it, the rules and responsibilities of engagement are also reshaping. While PR, analyst, and investor relations were clear yesterday, the rise of new influencers , tastemakers and authoritative users and customers becomes both pervasive and uncertain. As such, new opportunities for engagement emerge; creating new opportunities for cultivating distributed relationships.

However, each new connection requires management, a support infrastructure, including a dedicated host. The democratization of content production, publishing and distribution has extended the authoritative legacy of existing experts (media, analysts, pundits, online reporters) and also paved the way for a new genre of savants to join the fray. The social Web thus introduced a democratized content production and distribution and set the stage for the equalization of influence. Redefining Influence A Hybrid of Influence Converges Influence Knows No Bounds.

Things That Keep Us Up at Night - 10/1/2009 - School Library Jou. Organizing University Learning: Moving Beyond the Course to Micr. University learning is centered on the course.

A pattern for learning familiar to any current or past student. Students and teacher meet 1-3 times per week for 8-12 weeks. There’s lectures, readings, papers, projects, quizzes, and tests. This, by and large, is an adequate pattern for many learning purposes. But no rational person would suggest this is the only workable solution or even what’s best, or adequate, for all purposes.

There have been many alternative models proposed. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be recycling material from a paper that Tim Olsen and I wrote this past summer (which was rejected for publication sadly — but luckily we have our own worldwide publication systems we can use as a fall-back :) on the micro-labs concept and our experience running and participating in class that used similar concepts.

Micro-labs are small learning communities centered around answering a question, not mastering standardized content/skills Micro-labs courses promise many benefits.
