Washington Post Wisdom Of The Few Should Think Again
Haydn Shaughnessy · Founder, TheContentStudio.com · companies / Knowledge Management
Newspapers really like to put a new spin on an old fact. In fact it’s in the nature of journalism to be dealing with repetition in novel ways. That could be one half of the definition of news.The Washington Post’s report on websites that promote “expertise” instead of the wisdom of the crowd is...

Content and Copyright is Also About The Other Side Cheating
Haydn Shaughnessy · Founder, TheContentStudio.com · for argument's sake / for arguments sake / Knowledge Management
The copyright debate refuses to lie down. Who owns content, who has the right to exploit content, and when, are issues that the law has resolved. Why the debate continues is partly down to people wanting more, and if you think that is a criticism of the music industry then read on.There’s an assumption...

ESPN, Netvibes and Webwag.
Haydn Shaughnessy · Founder, TheContentStudio.com · companies / Knowledge Management
Over at a mashable story, ESPN launches netvibes for sports, Franck Poisson from Webwag has made an interesting comment on the spread of startpages. My feeling is that Webwag have created a brand new web (way?) to surf the web and to read content: mouse-over preview, self-organization of my page, multi-mini windows in one browser...

Demand management - it's the talk of the town
Randy Littleson · CEO, Kinaxis · Enterprise Applications / general news
We just completed our Kinexions '06 conference and had in attendance some of the world's leading brand owners and contract manufacturers. We talked about a wide variety of themes - challenges in dealing with new product introductions amidst ever shortening product lifecycles, the challenges of managing increasingly outsourced supply chains, etc. But the number one theme that we continued to hear from all parties were the challenges associated with demand management.

The Great Sketch Experiment
Haydn Shaughnessy · Founder, TheContentStudio.com · channels and content / Knowledge Management
Interesting to see Hollywood directors heading for the web and the latest is John Landis, in this report from techcrunch. In the case of the Great Sketch Experiment, sponsored by Verizon, Landis’ presence is embarassing. Sketch comedy has a noble past and a lousy one. They’re great and they’re awful. Here the sketches are not...

Indian Content Scene Takes Shape
Haydn Shaughnessy · Founder, TheContentStudio.com · Knowledge Management / what's new
The content business in India is shaping up in ways that might be instructive for Europeans, and of course the USA. I rely on a small number of Indian sites for information and recently made the mistake of mis-attributing ownership of watblog watblog is run by Rajiv Dingra who also runs Jobs4freshers.A number of...

Haydn Shaughnessy · Founder, TheContentStudio.com · Knowledge Management / what's new
This post from CNET news takes me back to this morning when I wrote about the ethics of copyright abuse. Here’s an argument against. I have a different point of view:Earlier I wrote:One of the lesser told stories however is about established content organisations continually disregarding artist rights. I know my own writing appears...

Enterprise 2.0 needs Digital Foundation
Marc Fleury · Chairman and CEO, JBoss · /mfleury/ / Platforms
I will join the fray with this attempt to give a crisper product definition to Enterprise 2.0, mapping to Red Hat and JBoss products, and introducing the concept of the "Digital Foundation." Digital Foundation == (Virtualization + SOA + Web2.0)^OSS.

Video Podcasting Costs - Some Surprises Here
Haydn Shaughnessy · Founder, TheContentStudio.com · channels and content / Knowledge Management
On the possibility of financially successful podcasting this is from Robert Scoble on his video blogging and the cost of doing video business on the web (and take in this post that extends the argument):“….the videos I’m putting up are around 200MB a piece. The bandwidth distributors I know are charging $.14 or more PER...

Trend of Software Delivery Methods
Darren Wesemann · Chief Technology Officer of Financial Systems, Sungard · software / Software Development
As a follow up to my last blog, (Trend Virtual), I continue to see more evidence that the expectation is that the service delivery of software will overtake the traditional binary-installation delivery of software at some point.
