Ross Mayfield, head of SocialText and all round good guy, sent me an invite to preview their new micro-blogging tool on 22 July. It’s a secure Twitter-type product for team use. I like the fact that its integrated in with profiles, which makes it sound more powerful than the likes of Yammer.

  • CIO article: “It lets enterprise employees communicate in a real-time stream about projects, documents and other items. Think of it as Twitter for just your team. It also lets companies build their intranet using social networking profiles that employees maintain.” Full article >>
  • eWeek article: “A potential salve for corporate IT administrators wrestling with security concerns over tools that don’t let IT control membership, content or company policy.” Full article >>

Talking about complexity

I was going to write a long piece about the use of complexity science by innovative airline provider DayJet after hearing the inpsiring Brain Storm! podcast, but then realised that despite the Fast Company piece in 2007 saying they were able to predict the future they weren’t able to keep their head above water, and already have gone under.

Oh well, I could have told DayJet president, CEO and founder Ed Iacobuccithem how to apply complexity in the real world without over-reliance on the maths/technology, but looks like I’ll just have to apply it for my own benefit for now:-)
