I almost forgot to post that:

*******************

We are happy to announce that the website for [tag-tec]BlogTalk2008[/tag-tec], the 5th International Conference on [tag-tec]Social Software[/tag-tec], has now been launched.
The conference will be held in Cork, Ireland on 3-4 March 2008.As with the last BlogTalk (t d f) event in Vienna, the conference will focus not just on weblogs, but on social software (web 2.0) in general.

I spent the last 24 hours (subtract sleeping from that) with first watching very impressive Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg “unleashing” the facebook OS then aside from my daily business investigating into standards for e-portfolio applications (helpful node Scott Wilson). So what’s the connection you might ask. Well while I was browsing the specs from IMS yesterday Zuckerberg’s video popped up many times in front of my virtual eye
So what’s at stake in the e-portfolio business?

I’m a big fan of online productivity tools. Be that classic Office apps or more advanced ones like [tag-tec]Mindmapping[/tag-tec].

I was an early beta user of Mindmeister today I received an offer to become premium member with a discount. I’m actually thinking about investing that money though I’m not sure it’s not more expansive than having all those desktop applications sitting around on my harddisk.

I don’t get Tom Davenport. First he somehow discards the concepts of [tag-tec]Enterprise 2.0[/tag-tec] only to reanimate them as a counter-strategy (there are new technologies - see below) to [tag-tec]crowdsourcing[/tag-tec] yet another Enterprise 2.0 concept. I’d say that the debate of terms and definitions should give way to a more phenomenological approach, i.e. create and describe cases - don’t talk to much about the labels.
