Employers seeking to decrease interruptions may want to have their workers use instant messaging software, a new study suggests. A recent study by researchers at Ohio State University and University of California, Irvine found that workers who used instant messaging on the job reported less interruption than colleagues who did not. The study challenges the widespread belief that instant messaging leads to an increase in disruption. Some researchers have speculated that workers would use instant messaging in addition to the phone and e-mail, leading to increased interruption and reduced productivity. Instead, research showed that instant messaging was often used as a substitute for other, more disruptive forms of communication such as the telephone, e-mail, and face-to-face conversations. Using instant messaging led to more conversations on the computer, but the conversations were briefer, said R.
“We found that the effect of instant messaging is actually positive. Enterprisesocialgraph - Google Code. Use the current Google hosted version of ESS here A simple, open source GAE project to allow enterprise users to maintain one single social graph. The goal is to explore and learn how Google App Engine can enable enterprise cloud computing.
All work will belong to the community that contributes to this project. This application will be developed and hosted in Google App Engine and the source will be kept here. Extremely simple and straightforward integration techniques will allow a social graph to be connected together and kept up-to-date from multiple sources including e-mail, syndication, and common social graph APIs. To the extent possible, Google APIs and development kits will be used such as Google Web Toolkit, Social Graph API, etc. This project is open to anyone who would like to contribute.

Macehiter Ward-Dutton: Blog on IT-business alignment and related. Wednesday, November 21, 2007 by admin I’m pleased to announce that MWD’s new report, Ideals and reality: understanding the context for your enterprise collaboration strategy, is now available for free download from our website. The report offers our perspective on the role of technology in enterprise collaboration, and highlights the key issues facing organisations looking to implement collaborative working practices.
One of the most interesting messages to come out of the report is the fragmented nature of the collaboration software market today, both in terms of the breadth of tools classified as collaboration tools, and the lack of cohesion between those tools when it comes to implementing them in an enterprise setting. The lack of adequate standards for integrating the different functions – both with each other, and with organisations’ existing IT environments – basically means that an organisation is left to take all the risk if it wants an integrated environment. The 6 essential things you need to know about Google's Open. CrossLoop - Simple Secure Screen Sharing. Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: Freebase: the Web 3.0 mac. « The loose ties that bind | Main | Google Transit Authority » March 09, 2007 Artificial intelligence guru Danny Hillis has launched an early version of the first major Web 3.0 application.
It's called Freebase, and its grandiose epistemological mission is right up there with those of Google and Wikipedia. "We’re trying," Hillis tells John Markoff of the New York Times, "to create the world’s database, with all of the world’s information.” The product of Hillis's latest company, Metaweb Technologies, Freebase is a user-generated brain. The addition of rich meta tags in a standardized form is what makes Freebase a next-generation Web application - a manifestation of what Tim Berners-Lee long ago dubbed the Semantic Web and what has recently been rebranded Web 3.0 for popular consumption. Although the wikipediaesque user-generated quality of Freebase will get much attention, Freebase is really more about the creation of a community of machines than a community of people. ¿HAL 9000 en camino?
