Business Information Management Trends

Shiv Sing posted an article on Line56.com regarding the Intranet Trends to Watch. Many of the trends Shiv lists are not surprising. Like for example, the corporate telephone directory is not the killer app on the intranet.

However, sadly with all the emphasis over the years on knowledge management, the recent hype around personal search tools and of course the web search power houses, Information Retrieval is still an unsolved problem on the intranet.

Microsoft Engagement with Open Source Projects

Josh Ledgard Program Manager working with the Visual Studio – Community Team at MSFT has a great post regarding the broader collaboration between Microsoft and the vast open source community (via /.).

“It should be easy for teams here at Microsoft to develop extensions to their platforms and potentially pieces of the platforms with customers in an open/transparent fashion. What better way (especially for teams that make tools for developers) to form real connections with developers than working with them collaboratively on real technical challenges?”

FeedBurner and Me

I decided to consolidate many of my XML feeds using the excellent FeedBurner service. The process was very simple using Matt’s straight forward tips on redirecting existing feeds to FeedBurner.

In addition, I opted to use FeedBurner’s Link Splicer to include daily dumps of my del.icio.us bookmarks into my main feed. So if you’re reading this via a news aggregator you’ll notice the post flow increase.

Over the past six or so months, I’ve found it to be faster to post quick annotations using my del.icio.us right-click context menu hack (shameless plug). So much of what I formally posted in my main blog now gets tagged and shared with del.icio.us. This is especially useful when I’m short on time.
