It’s a myth that the information technology (IT) requirements of emerging and midsize businesses are simpler than those of large enterprises. Virtually every day, we interact with the technology and business leaders of midsize companies whose IT demands not only rival the requirements of much larger companies, but in many cases exceed them.Fortunately, emerging and midsize businesses can resolve the dilemma of updating their outmoded IT infrastructure without massive one-time investments in technology. New technologies, such as Microsoft® .NET, enable companies to leverage previous investments in technology while step-by-step integrating their business systems to enable an efficient, cost-effective, and flexible solution to driving and managing growth.

Answers to Arnaud

Answers to Arnaud 04/06/2005 09:22 PM

Man - today is turning into a day when I can connect many dots together.

I just got to conote capitalism in it's pure state - with fascism. The underlying notion of exploiting workers and resources to create profit - is just sick to me. So when Jason Calacanis accused ME of improperly gaming the system - the only thing I could think of was "cause it's hurting you - you mean?"

Any money going directly into blogger's pockets is NOT going into YOUR pocket. It's as almost as if he EXPECTS to make money - that it's his right.

That just pisses me off to no ends.

Now I am going to answer Arnaudquestions about "why do I like structured blogging" and "whether OPML can be adapted to support Any type on MicroContent".
Well dude- the second question is teh easiest and funnest. We did!

We used our OPML editor - weboutliner to craete an editor for a birthday party activity. Pure situated software.

It's a perfect paradigm. More on that later.

Next - I LOVE PubSub's structured blogging effort cause it's just that - it's an effort. When Seb Paquet first used the phrase - it blew my mind. I knew right away that that was exactly what micro-content needed - was a way to describe the controlled, form based kind of publishing that will move us down the pyrimid and effect 80% of the population within a few years.

Blogging is just the FIRST kind of micro-content and we're watching lots of others get established - right in front of our eyes.

So structured blogging is the start of something I've been hoping for - for a while now - a way to give normal end-users the power to contribute, express themselves and share - little chunks of knowledge - that are heavily "typed".

Kudos to Bob Wyman and the team at PubSub.

Arnaud admits that he doesn't write much about the format of the published micro-content - but only a wholistic approach - which combines open:

- APIs
- Schemas
- data format
- even user interfaces

......will get us to micro-content nirvana.

When I think about this stuff - I see EVDB, RVW supported in blogware, an OpenListings format coming, OpenTopics and Technorati tags - for all, FOAF, ourmedia, Media RSS - everywhere I go - I see this stuff happening.

Just Yahoo buying Flickr, doing Media RSS and saying what they've been saying and THEN having Google come back with THEIR video hosting scenario. Man oh man.

It's all happening.

Directing queries through Internet search engines has become one of the most popular online activities. Statistics released from a new survey conducted by Harris Interactive show that users accessed search engines more often than they used the Net for entertainment, e-commerce or IM/chat. Over half of the respondents (53%) said they used search engines most or every time they went online, and only 4% said they had never used a search engine. Only two activities were more popular than search: sending or receiving e-mail (87%) and general Web surfing (55%). How the respondents used search engines was also interesting. The top reasons were for researching specific topics (88%), getting directions or maps (75%), looking for news (64%) and shopping (51%). Internet search engines also seem to be replacing the telephone for some tasks, with a total of 54% reporting having used a search engine instead of using a phone. Different search engines seem to be better for searching for different topics. For example, MSN and Ask Jeeves users were more apt to search for medical and health information. Ask Jeeves users were also more likely to look for maps and directions. Google users tended to search more for news, perhaps a result of the Google News search page. According to data from Nielsen//NetRatings, Google is by far the most popular search engine in the US, with a 48% market share. Yahoo! is next with 21%, followed by MSN with 12%, AOL with 5% and Ask Jeeves with 2%. Google users are also the most loyal. Thirteen percent of US adults who use Google use it exclusively, compared to 11% for AOL, 10% for MSN, 7% for Yahoo!/Overture and 2.4% for Ask Jeeves.

Wrong answers

Wrong answers 04/17/2004 10:04 AM

I absolutely can't stand people that don't take the time to learn the answer to the question being asked of them.

If people don't know the answer to the question being asked, I'd much rather hear "you know, that's a great question, and while I don't know the answer to that question, I'll find out for you" if it is their responsibility or job to know the answer than an ansewr that is wrong and can be proven to be wrong in less than 5 simple steps.

Wrong answers from 'authorities on a subject' make me not trust those authorities any more, and trust is crucial to an organization that is growing.

Wrong answers make me want to do the work myself.

Wrong answers make me think the authority is so stupid that I won't ask them any other questions.

Wrong answers make me think that the authority thinks I'm too stupid to know that they're full of shit.

Being given blatantly wrong answers while the deliverer speaks with that tone that exudes almighty authority feels like being fed human excrement with only a rusty bent fork to eat it after being left in a dungeon for 40 days and 40 nights.

Giving wrong answers is lazy and is the wrong thing to do.

I hate people that consistently give wrong answers and don't concede defeat when proven wrong... that don't retreat and admit their inadequacy... that don't correct themselves.

I hate people that survive just by covering their ass after consistently giving wrong lazy answers.

I also deplore people that won't ever hold other people accountable.
