  • Techcrunch: Google’s Response to Facebook “Maka-Maka”
    Google may have lost the bidding war to invest in Facebook, but it is preparing its own major assault on the social networking scene. It goes by the codename “Maka-Maka” inside the Googleplex (or, perhaps, “Makamaka”). Maka-Maka encompasses Google’s grand plan to build a social layer across all of its applications. Some details about Maka-Maka have already leaked out, particularly how Google plans to use the feed engine that powers Google Reader (known internally as Reactor) to create “activity streams” for other applications akin to Facebook’s news and mini feeds. But Maka-Maka goes well beyond that.

  • Change Management
    In organisations there are often two types of work. There is the normal delivery process where the main business of the organization is done. Then there are the change activities, whereby necessary change is made to the business and the way it is done. As with other subjects, a great deal of this site is relevant to organizational change. However, there are more things to say that are specific and relevant to this situation.
    The management of change is an important imperative in many organizations.

  • CNET News.com: Facebook ignores OpenSocial, embraces Windows Live Contacts API | Outside the Lines
    Now that Yahoo has finally and officially signed on to the OpenSocial API bandwagon (see Techmeme), the company that Microsoft might buy has joined with MySpace.com and Google to create the OpenSocial Foundation. Facebook is still missing in action, considering whether joining the OpenSocial Foundation is in the best interests of its membership--or its own platform. OpenSocial provides a useful piece of functionality, solving a developer problem by allowing applications developed with the APIs to run on different services without modification--write once, play many. A photo-sharing application could tap into the social graphs of Orkut, Bebo, MySpace, Ning, or other services without any code changes.

  • On the Psychology of Military Incompetence: Books: Norman F. Dixon
    "Everyone who manages anyone should be required to read this book. By focussing on the military Dixon has written a book crammed with examples that show the drastic consequences of incompetence. In management situations it's seldom a matter of life and death (despite the way some bosses act) but the consequences are still there: demotivated, under-utilised, confused and stressed staff. So if you're the boss and this sounds familiar you should read this book and learn it's lessons."

  • Salesforce and LinkedIn - OpenSocial Means Better Business-Centric Apps and Services | Epicenter from Wired.com
    With Salesforce and LinkedIn both named as "hosts" for Google's new OpenSocial APIs, the question on many minds seems to be what changes, if any, will customers see at the respective companies over the next few months. Indeed, Google is giving its OpenSocial partners the freedom to call the shots, more or less, so we checked in with representatives from LinkedIn and Salesforce to see what, precisely, OpenSocial will mean for their end users. Turns out, we heard pretty much the same thing: the open set of APIs will not only mean better business and professional apps/services, but more of them. Strong emphasis on business and professional.

  • The Art of Measurement The Agonist
    I want to talk a bit about management measurement. I’ve spent a number of years now in a good sized multinational, and I’ve watched management trying to gain control through measurement. And mostly I’ve watched as they’ve gained the wrong sort of control; as they’ve crystallized behaviour in ways that lose more from employees than they gain.

  • The Long Tail - Why the future of business is selling less of more
    Wired editor Anderson declares the death of "common culture"—and insists that it's for the best. Why don't we all watch the same TV shows, like we used to? Because not long ago, "we had fewer alternatives to compete for our screen attention," he writes. Smash hits have existed largely because of scarcity: with a finite number of bookstore shelves and theaters and Wal-Mart CD racks, "it's only sensible to fill them with the titles that will sell best." Today, Web sites and online retailers offer seemingly infinite inventory, and the result is the "shattering of the mainstream into a zillion different cultural shards." These "countless niches" are market opportunities for those who cast a wide net and de-emphasize the

  • TheStar.com Business - Worries follow rise of Facebook
    Go to Facebook.com and type in the word "sucks" and among the groups that will turn up is this one: "American Eagle SUCKS ... So Why do I work There???" The group, which has 40 members, was created by people who identify themselves as employees of the specialty teen clothing retailer. Most of the comments are about the pay and the hours of work, typical water-cooler griping that would normally go unnoticed by anyone outside the group. The problem with Facebook is these comments can be viewed by anyone who joins the free social-networking site, including the employer, its customers, suppliers and anyone else in the world.
