• Is Your Organization Fit for Heretics? | Management Innovation eXchange – Why indeed? Because too many people still work in organizations that resemble the IBM of their grandfather's (or great-grandfather's) day–organizations designed to exert tight control at the expense of autonomy, to maximize compliance and conformance over individual expression and discretion, and to promote top-down command over passion-driven performance.

• From social intranets to collaboration ecosystems – Forbes – the five pillars of social intranets:

  Information. To be social, an intranet must allow information to easily flow vertically and horizontally, and allow employees to express themselves in various ways (articles, status updates, comments, content sharing…).
  Knowledge. Content repositories are way too statics, they must evolve to a more democratic and flexible way to capitalize on knowledge (enterprise wikis) and to spread it (social learning).
  Communities. I assume you are already convinced of the importance of enterprise social networks. But simply providing a ESN to your employees will not allow communities to emerge, you will have to enable them through stimulation and moderations.
  Collaboration. I also assume you are aware of the benefits of online collaborative workspaces, but one can do much more with socialized project management solutions, ideagoras or social serious games.
  Business processes and data. Last but not least, software allowing employees to produce, collect, structure, analyze and publish data is key to wider adoption. You will easily find pockets of users willing to participate in “social experiments”, but to rally EVERY employee, you will have to include business applications and processes in your internal social platform.

• The file comes DRM-free, meaning people can download the file and transfer it over to other computers without entering a password to prove whether or not they purchased it. That also means the video is easier to pirate. – An Unorthodox Way To Release A Comedy Special

  C.K. asked his fans to contribute $5 directly to him via PayPal, in exchange for two streams and two downloads of the unencrypted, high-definition show. He explains that he chose the unorthodox method of sharing his special to see if releasing a video himself could potentially make money.

Myhrvold: Die meisten unserer Erfindungen entstehen in sogenannten "Invention Sessions". Das heißt, eine Gruppe von Menschen kommt zusammen, sammelt und diskutiert Ideen in einer Art Brainstorming. Dieses Verfahren widerspricht aber allem, was Ihnen sogenannte Kreativitätsberater als erfolgversprechendes Brainstorming verkaufen. Wir achten zwar darauf, dass die Sitzungen grundsätzlich strukturiert sind, aber meist geht diese Struktur schon nach kurzer Zeit verloren."

• My offer to Google Reader « fox @ fury – This product is important to me, and for many it fulfills the need for a source-centric news consumption product that has been overshadowed by the overwhelming push of ‘social stream’ products such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus. While those products are important, they don’t meet the same needs that Google Reader was designed to, and Reader should not fall by the wayside, a victim to fashion.

• google macht einen auf yahoo – wirres.net, fachblog für irrelevanz- google sendet mit dem redesign des readers ein klares signal an die loyalen benutzer (aka nerds):1. ihr seid uns scheissegal. auf euch können wir keine rücksicht nehmen, wir müssen nun an das grosse ganze denken. und das grosse ganze ist unser tolles google+. das funktioniert zwar noch nicht so super, ist noch immer leicht behindert (kein RSS, keine saubere, einfache möglichkeit inhalte auf fremde oder google-eigene plattformen zu transferieren (API), kaum filtermöglichkeiten ausser „circles“), aber na und? fresst oder geht sterben (exportiert euren scheiss doch einfach).
• parislemon • Faith No More- I specifically remember being excited about the launch of Google Calendar in 2006 because Google was a company cranking out hit after hit after hit. Great products. But recently, what have they done?You can argue that Android is pretty solid now, but that’s after years of iteration. At first, it basically sucked. Chrome has been great, but it now seems to be getting more buggy, not less, over time. Google Voice? Decent, but not what it should be. Google+? Not bad, but issues. Google TV? Yeah. Google Music? Ha. Google Wave? Sigh. Etc, etc, etc.That’s maybe my biggest problem with Google. They release something, and I no longer have any faith that it’s going to be any good. It’s hard to get excited about a company like that. It’s the same reason why it’s hard to get excited when Microsoft and Yahoo release new things. The track record just isn’t there any more. The faith is gone.
• Google Reader: Herrsche und teile. Nicht. | Knicken – Googles Schritt ist einer von der Qualität hin zur Masse. Er zwingt einer Community, die für sich in Anspruch nimmt, modern mit Nachrichten umzugehen, einen konzeptionellen Schluckauf auf – bringt nicht um, nervt aber –, dessen Ende nicht absehbar ist und opfert dafür das einzige funktionierende (!, wenn auch kleine) soziale Netzwerk des eigenen Portfolios. Ohne Not und zu Gunsten eines Hypes, von dem es ”nichts versteht”.
• Net:Work | GigaOM Events – The dynamic nature of today’s enterprise no longer suits the office environment of yesteryear, where everyone showed up at 8 and left at 5. Work organizations, old and new, are embracing the more “flexible office” powered by cloud-based services, mobile technology, and pervasive broadband. Besides offering flexibility for employees, enterprises are realizing concrete benefits to their budgets. But some companies are grappling with the challenges of building and retaining a workforce culture when their employees are everywhere.

• How to Convince Your Friends to Use Linux Without Being a Jerk | TechSource – The Show Don’t Tell policy also applies to feature comparisons. Let’s say you want to outline the salient features of Linux. Instead of giving a huge lecture about how virus-free, how fragmentation-free, how fast the desktop is, just show it to them. Take their Windows/Mac laptop and put it beside your own desktop. Start a timer and show your friend how fast it boots. I hate to repeat, but just show it, don’t talk about it.
• Best Practices are Stupid | Nan Palmero | a mySA.com blog – One of the tips he shares is the importance of looking outside your industry to solve problems. He goes further in his book about changing the way you innovate and think about innovation. One surprise I found in the book is to stop using a suggestion box. Stephen goes to explain that they frequently don’t work, waste time and the ideas can oftentimes be answers to questions that no one asked.

If you still don’t have it installed you definitely should.

• The cure for corporate inertia | opensource.com – Why are management processes the last bastion of resistance when a company is trying to change? I think there are three linked reasons.

  Management processes are a long way from the action. They support primary value-adding activities, but are often two or three steps removed from the marketplace, so feedback from customers about the need to work differently or more quickly is filtered and lost.
  There are strong vested interests at play. Board members like to offer advice and make decisions, lawyers like writing contracts. Turkeys don't vote for Thanksgiving. Enough said.
  Management processes are usually dependent on each other, and together they create a tightly-woven matrix that cannot easily be pulled apart. If you try to change one process, you upset a further two or three others, and pretty soon you are taking on the entire system.

• 10 ways to craft a career that will stand the test of time | opensource.com – five forces that will shape work and careers:

  ever greater globalization of innovation and talent;
  the development of ever more sophisticated connective technologies;
  profound changes in demography and longevity which will see many live until they are 100 and others live in regions where 40% of the population are over 50;
  broad societal forces that will see trust in institutions decrease and families become ever more re-arranged; and finally,
  the impact that carbon use and Co2 will have on how we think about our own consumption patterns.
  Taking this rich cocktail of forces into consideration here are my 10 tips about skills, networks and choices.

• Transforming into a social business – questions the technocentric way that many organizations have approached social business (or rather social software) this far and suggests a business-oriented approach to socializing business operations, focusing on how to use social technologies to support prioritized business operations and on supporting the transformation with the right change management approach.
• Social business tools are a strategic investment; driven by the business not IT – It’s business leaders, not their IT colleagues, who are driving purchasing decisions. Which makes sense: business leaders are tasked with deploying technologies for strategic advantage. They must move fast to gain a competitive edge.
