This is quite a popular and solid saying around here. In many ways it is very true and the proper way to go about things. Well, when it comes to technology – it is quite the opposite actually. Quite the opposite!

Being at the Office 2.0 event in San Francisco proves this rule quite wrong and very difficult to follow. Any type of technology innovation or creativity require that you do not follow the ”If it ain’t broken, do not fix it” rule. We ha...

AA-awards 2008This year’s Accountancy Age Awards dinner will be a red letter day (well evening) for us, with two of our customers up for three awards.

For the last two years (2006 and 2007), Goodman Jones has won the award for Best Use of the Internet by a Practice. As I’ve blogged before, we helped design and build their website, they use our online accounting solution, we encouraged their business systems partner Philip Woodgate to start blogging, and we ...

I am going to start a series of articles about the Office 2.0 conference we just attended. I am starting with the only two negative items that left unpleasant feeling. I want to point those two elements out as I care about this event, and I want to help make it better. Everything else that I am going to write about is positive and was quite useful for me and for all the WordFrame partners participating at the 3rd edition of the conference

What do you think - Is LinkedIn Too Busy with Big Deals to Respond to Members?

LinkedIn logo This is an article I posted on DesWalsh.com but I thought it is good to share it with the WordFrame Blog readers as well.

I can remember a time not so long ago when LinkedIn executives and staff were really good about responding to questions and even criticism. Co-founder and sometime VP at LinkedIn Konstantin Guericke used to put an enormous effort into communicating with members on LinkedIn-related groups of which I’ve been a membe...

We had quite some meetings in the past couple of weeks after July 15th. Those meetings and the busy schedule were, kind of, the reason for me not to be so active both on the WordFrame blog site and on our WordFrame twitter accounts. We had some nice guests, partners and customers visiting us in Colorado Springs.

Vicki Tambellini from Synergy3 kind of started this very nice and productive sequence. She visited us with her husband and stayed for ...

Office 2.0 conference 2008 By the time I post this I will be in San Francisco for a collection of WordFrame partner meetings and then the Office 2.0 show. I attended Ismael Ghalimi's first event based around the trend towards web based office and enterprise productivity back in 2006, but missed out last year. This year I'll be one of the presenters and contributors, and our partner SocialMediaToday is one of the media sponsors, at what I hope will be a very worthwhile sho...

Lars Ploughman, Philip Woodgate, Harry Wood, Alex Jerreat and Andy Roberts at London Wiki Wednesday August 2008After a very long break, since the Wikipedia oriented meeting of last December, around 25 people came to the restart of London Wiki Wednesdays this month, which by all accounts was a very good meeting. We were hosted by Alek Lotoczko at NYK Shipping, on the 17th floor of CityPoint, with great views over the ever changing London City skyline. Beer, wine and pizza were sponsored by WordFrame (so I have to thank myself and George Athannassov for th...

Open Web Asia Conference '08

There are so many conferences in the USA and Europe now, covering the inter-related zones of Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, Social Media, Blogging, New Media, that it's hard to keep up. But judging by the promotion for an upcoming event in Seoul in October, I don't think there has been much happening in a coordinated way in this space in Asia, until now. I posted about this today on my Des Walsh dot Com site.

On visiting China last year and since t.....

Paul Chaney, this week's Blogger of the Week at Social Media Today, says he tried blogging not long after Pyra labs rolled out Blogger in 1999 but couldn't make sense of it until he started blogging with Typepad in 2003. Paul also blogs on the WordFrame Blog.

"For some reason that time it clicked," he says.  "I started blogging based on my insatiable curiosity about all things Internet technology related. By that time, I was reading a few bl...

I happened across an iMedia Connection article from back in 2006 that I felt had bearing on the use of social network platforms like WordFrame today. It discussed the difference between "communities of interest" and "communities of practice."

"A community of interest is an online community where the primary value is based on the personal or social interests of its members. Examples include MySpace, YouTube and Flickr," stated the article.
