I was just checking out the results of the recent AIIM Survey on Enterprise 2.0. (My company, Socialtext, was one of the underwriters.) There's a lot of great material there about how managers perceive Enterprise 2.0. I was particularly struck by how prominently culture appears as a theme in the responses. There is a view out there that an organization needs to have a "culture of collaboration" culture in order to successfully employ wikis and other Enterprise 2.0 tools.

There's an old saying about the weather: "Everyone talks about it , but no one is doing anything about it." The same thing seems to be happening with Web 2.0 (63,100,000 results for this term on Google, a very small percentage of which actually prescribe skills you'll need to thrive in it). At a recent KM Forum meeting with this theme, however, I got some very specific prescriptive guidance for survival in the Web 2.0 world in a presentation from Ray Sims.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

My opening slide for tomorrow's keynote at the MySQL Conference has this feel of speed and excitement to it that represents the current progress towards Cloud Computing. Persistent Storage for EC2 will be an important part of the presentation, but I'll mainly focus on general non-functional lesson from building large-scale services.

I would like to introduce to you the newest feature of Amazon EC2: Persistent local storage. This has been very high on the request list of EC2 customers and I believe that combined with the Availability Zones and Elastic IP Address features released earlier this month this makes EC2 the ideal environment for building highly scalable and reliable applications.

Socialtext announced two major product announcements today: Socialtext People and Socialtext Dashboard. I'm excited about Dashboard, but People really rocks my world. A lot of the coverage of People is calling it "Facebook for the enterprise" That's a fair description, but it misses what it is to me the coolest thing about People: Its in-the-flow -ness.

I was talking today with Michael Kieran, our newest Customer Success Manager at Socialtext, about structure in wikis. As I've blogged about before, it's very important for a wiki to have some structure. WIthout structure, people get confused, lost, and according to my friend Barry Schwartz the author of the Paradox of Choice , depressed. At the same time, there's nothing more annoying than an overstructured website, where you have to click through link after link after link to get to the content

So far this is been pretty informative. Guy Kawasaki kicked off the morning in the Keynote, if you've not heard Guy speak before, he's fantastic. Later in the morning there was a panel comprised of CIO /IT Directors from a range of firms, including Ashurt from the UK. No surprises, everyone was still very much challenged with how to manage e-mail. In a room with well over 100 people, only 3 hands went up when the moderator asked who had 75% or higher of adoption for e-mail filing.

You must all have read about this project "go live” failure. It was due to a combination of problems but the central one was a lack of training! Amazing, it was a high profile and expensive project requiring state of the art technologies and methods in all areas (architecture, logistics, ICTs, security, construction, etc.) forgot to effectively deal with a key component: the people that will have to work in this new place !

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

One of the questions I get a lot is "What do you use a wiki for?" It's a fundamental question, but I've been frustrated for a while at how long-winded and imprecise the answers are that people give to it. So my Socialtext colleagues and I spent some serious time around the whiteboard talking about patterns we're seeing--not sociological or usability patterns, but patterns of business value being generated using wikis and other forms of social software.
