Slack: Collaboration that actually works!
Getting a group of people working on a project to communicate with each other is easy; you just give 'em all email and stand back … and what you'll see is chaos. The explosion of messages will be immediate and the struggle to keep threads of discussion on track and in context means that decisions get obscured and missed, responsibilities become unclear, direction wanders, and documents get lost. The conclusion: Communication is easy, collaboration is hard.If you've experienced this outer ring of hell then you've also probably tried the likes of Google+ or Basecamp in an attempt to curb the chaos and you'll have found that while some aspects of communication improved, overall collaboration didn't. The problem is that these services aren't really focused on the core challenge of how to support collaboration; they're more oriented towards project management or a simple substitute for email.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
 

The downside to mass data storage in the cloud
  The cloud can be an enormously cost-effective way to increase storage and computing musculature, and also, sadly, a way to further add misery to those seeking privacy—or who just want to be left alone. It's rare to see organizations stand up and shout, "we'll not give your data to anyone!" or "the life of all stored data, except opt-in assets you want us to store, is always 90 days!" or "yes, we can determine in absolute certainty that your data has been erased to protect you and your identity."The cloud, in some warrens, has become a storage ground for the various factories of "big data," whose ideals are generally to sell things to consumers and businesses. Correlating facts is huge. Ask Target, whose insight into discovering pregnancies helped them capture a nicely profitable market in the pregnancy and new mother world. Smart, you say. There is a downside to this.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
 

Reminder that the Internet, too, could have saved Coca-Cola from 'New Coke' debacle
Don Keough, retired chief operating officer at Coca-Cola, died earlier this week at the age of 88. He is described in a Fortune headline as "The real boss behind Coke's secret formula."Among the accomplishments credited to Keough is one that directly involved that secret formula, namely convincing CEO Roberto Goizueta in 1985 to reverse course on the disaster that was "New Coke" in favor of returning to the original recipe.News of Keough's death had me rereading a 2010 Buzzblog  post that involved this thought experiment: Let's rewrite history: It was 25 years ago tomorrow, April 23, 1985, that the world's most famous soft drink company committed arguably the world's most famous product development/marketing gaffe: New Coke.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Google sees success with balloon, airplane Internet
Google's ambitious efforts to bring balloon and aircraft-borne connectivity to underserved areas of the globe are pushing past some key milestones and the company expects a public launch in a few years.Both projects have captured the imagination of many for their ability to beam Internet signals from platforms high up in the sky to areas without cellular networks, but represent significant engineering challenges for Google—just the kind of thing the company likes, said Sundar Pichai, a senior vice president at Google, speaking at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.The oldest and perhaps best known of the two projects, Project Loon, seeks to use balloons flying around 20 kilometers (65,000 feet) above the Earth to deliver Internet signals. The company's first experiments used a proprietary WiFi signal but that's since changed to LTE cellular signals.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
