THE BUZZ

Facebook at Work: Stop or Support?
by James Gaskin

I've always maintained smaller businesses need to make a big effort to connect to customers more often and more personally than big companies do in order to thrive. That's why I recommend blogging even for the least technical products and services. How high tech is plumbing? Not very. Yet look at FlushTV some day and learn what some smart plumbers are doing online.

Facebook et al will connect and engage a certain percentage of your customers, depending on your business. Why not let one or two of your younger employees play with Facebook and build more connections to more customers. It will bring you more business than if they employees are playing Sudoku online.

Join the conversation...

Luddite geeks: Stallman doesn't do the Web, Knuth doesn't do email
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/3363242/162105012/125450/0/
You might expect misanthropic technophobes to be less than enthused about using the Internet, but it might surprise you to learn that two of the founders of the modern computer age are also unplugged. Richard Stallman, an open source advocate and founder of the Free Software Foundation, doesn't use the graphical Web -- if there's a Web page he really wants to see, he'll use the Lynx browser. And Donald Knuth, author of the seminal text The Art of Computer programming, hasn't used email since 1990.

The Problem with Business Software & How Visualization Can Fix It
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/3363242/162105012/113452/0/
Much of the $500 billion spent every year on software development is at risk with delays, cost overruns, missing features, cancellations and poor customer experience – all because text-based requirement specifications are difficult to read and easy to misunderstand. iRise® offers a simple and effective solution – a collaborative software platform that enables businesses to quickly visualize and “test market” applications before a single line of code is written. For the first time, business people can understand for themselves what they need, and then communicate that knowledge to others using visual models that replicate the exact look, feel and behavior of the final product, taking the guesswork out of application definition. Using customer scenarios, iRise’s white paper presents a compelling business case for investing in visualization.
