Usual topics: systems, the design of them and the individual dots – people, information and technology. Enjoy.
Systems and Networks
- Social networking and blogs now more popular than email – we embrace change quickly enough when we want to…
- The need to add value – sometimes focusing on customer satisfaction and cost efficiency misses the point
- The trouble with government bailouts – benefit the bad, penalise the good (Warren Buffett)
- Maybe Facebook should just offer a loyalty card instead – the challenge social networks face in trying to make money
People and Behaviour
- When personas collide – the officer who posted too much on MySpace
- Be careful what you wish for – the real US high-tech immigration problem: they’re leaving
- The benefits of social science in technology companies – figuring out the changing landscape
- Yelp and the business of Extortion 2.0 – when reviews aren’t genuine
Information and Design
- Design is the changing of behaviour – simple but powerful statement focuses effort (think iPod. MP3 players were a plenty beforehand…)
- Quality follows popularity – the inventor of Dilbert says so
Technology and Stuff
- 6 ways to make Web 2.0 technologies work – McKinsey report (free login required)
- Wolfram Alpha is coming – as important as Google? For some, maybe
- Single Google Query uses 1,000 machines in 0.2 seconds
- Despite its age, the Internet is still filled with problems – Vint Cerf
