The New York Times reports the F.B.I. believes its $170 million systems overhaul may be a total failure: F.B.I. May Scrap Vital Overhaul of Its Outdated Computer System. Recognized as a critical component to fighting terrorism, the FBI sought to develop a paperless solution with many customized features. From the following description of their current situation, it sure sounds like they need some upgrades: As it stands now, the bureau's counterterrorism files are largely online, but investigators often may not have immediate access to data from other parts of the bureau. So, for instance, an agent may not be immediately aware of information from an investigation into credit-card fraud that could be relevant to a terrorism case. In addition, the bulk of the internal reports and documents produced at the bureau must still be printed, signed and scanned by hand into computer format each day, officials said. Anyone who's been involved with critical, large-scale software development projects knows how hard they can be to complete (regardless of whether they're on time and/or budget). In a statement that will resonate with clients and consultants everywhere, a senior official from the FBI stated: "I did not get what I envisioned" from the project...But he said the F.B.I. today had a better understanding of its computer needs and limitations as a result of the effort. "The lesson we have learned from this $170 million is invaluable," he said. Jeez, it seems like you could have figured that out for a lot less than $170 million! A better use of the funds would have been $11.53 for The Myth of the Paperless Office, $33.24 for the classic The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, and $33.95 for the excellent Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams. So $170,000,000 - $78.72 leaves $169,999,921.28 to put towards requirements definition, prototyping, and ultimately programming. Surely overhauling such a massive system is a daunting, difficult challenge, but as Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont said, "Bringing the F.B.I.'s information technology into the 21st century should not be rocket science." When projects are this critical, and this expensive, they cannot be allowed to fail.

K-Logs: How Social Networking Software
Helps and Where it Doesn't


K-Logs: How Social Networking Software
Helps and Where it Doesn't
01/07/2004 06:25 PM
M2M.  David Weinberger critiques social networking software (rightly).My take:  There isn't any magic in social networking software.  The value this software provides is much more basic than many people think.  Here's what it provides:
  1. It contains solid (but private) contact information on all members.
  2. Profiles are available on each member (on LinkedIn you can put in a resume).
  3. There is a safe, formal method of requesting contact with other members you don't know.  This is like UserLand's spam free e-mail.
  4. The connection info (you know D through B and C) is more of a gimmick than something that provides real value.  There is a small amount of comfort involved in knowing how you are connected to other people (you can also get info on how many people they are connected to, which is like a PageRank for social networks). This is the part of these networks that confuses everyone.
  5. There is a search function for finding other members based on information in the profile (interests, company, job title, etc). 

Now that we have demystified social networking software, let's think about how to apply the features in an open system that works in conjunction with weblogs.  The current systems are too closed and limited to be of much long term value.  Here's my thinking:

  • Solid information on weblog authors.  It would be great to have standardized weblog profile and contact information.  Currently, contact and profile information on weblogs, if it is there at all, is all over the map.  It really sucks.  Sure, you can read what someone is writing on their weblog, but you often need ESP to determine who they are, what they do, etc.
  • A safe way to share contact information.  Way too many people publish their e-mail address in the clear on the their weblogs.  There should be a way to restrict that (via a spam free e-mail feature) that would allow the weblog's author to release solid contact information (e-mail, phone, address) to readers that they authorize.
  • Search!!  This is a simple and powerful feature.  Want to find Microsoft or Google webloggers?  Why wait for someone to build a list that may or may not be out of date?  A search function on social networking profile information derived from weblogs would solve this quickly and with much more accuracy than a random Google search.
  • Categorization.  Have a look at Jon Udell's lists of CXO webloggers on the right hand side of his weblog. How easy would this be to create if you had solid contact information contained in a social networking system.  In fact, you could build directories on the fly customized to your needs based on good profile information.
  • Community and portability.  The advent of open profile information would allow people to create custom communities.  There is a lot of power in creating ad hoc communities of members using this type of information.  It could also be used to allow members of that community to build contact lists in other applications (e-mail and IM) that are constantly and automatically updated (a new role for Newsgator -- creating auto updated contact lists for e-mail apps).

OK, this would be very, very easy to do in the weblog world if we start right now.  All that is needed is a simple standard for an XML profile (as simple as RSS -- which only Dave seems able to build)  that can be published by weblog authors in a form on their weblog tool of choice.  If the vendors (UserLand, Blogger, and SixApart) did this, within weeks sites like Feedster and Technorati would have tools that took advantage of that information.  This would then usher in a whole new deluge of innovation similar to what we are seeing in RSS today.  Let's put Friendster out of business and open this up.

07/08/2004 12:33 PM
The Pentagon certainly isn't known for efficiency in their business processes, and no one ever said they needed to be run in the same manner as a profitable business, but the fact that they can't even track the thousands of different databases and logistics systems that are supposed to keep track of all of their purchases and assets is a bit worrisome. At the very least it's a huge recipe for fraud, with plenty of already greedy enough defense contractors clearly abusing the system for great profit to themselves -- at the expense of our own tax dollars.
