Clarify, Communicate, Simplify - FriendFeed

FriendFeed, a content and conversation aggregation service, remains under fire by many who feel it is too much of one thing and not enough of another. They often draw parallels to the micro-blogging service Twitter, and how "easy to use" that service is as compared with FriendFeed. As with any service that contains options, the ease of understanding the varied nuances of how to apply a service, like FriendFeed, is often hard to absorb.

Chairmans Report - The Basics Have Changed

Back to basics is the mantra I keep hearing from senior leaders and business owners as they prepare for an indeterminate period of turbulence and uncertainty. However, it is not possible for us to return to the basics as the basics we know no longer exist. Our reliance on measurement and technology as a predication for the future has shown to be false and often misleading as companies keep re-adjusting their revenue and profit projections, downwards in nearly all instances, and job layoffs start to take hold.

And while I admittedly started sharing to a link blog without having a clear goal in mind, I'm finding that this massive shared items repository is becoming an incredibly versatile information hub that benefits me, the authors of articles I've shared, and the consumers, be they friends in Google Reader, or in many other locations. I believe that while Google Reader has grown in visibility, arguably becoming the most popular RSS reader on the Web, the utility of shared link blogs is less known.

The Barack O Future

Discussion... Solutions... Rarely do we have the opportunity to view a visionary in full throttle. Could Barack be a turning point? Economically it appears not today, as markets move of their own accord. Employment appears not today, as major redundancies in Australia and across our planet use the cloud of international interest in the inauguration to announce redundancies. And what of government? will they spend on spending again? Will taxpayers continue to pay for organisations that are failing? again? What solutions underly our future...
