10 Harsh Truths About Corporate #Blogging - http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009...
RAPatton and OnDemand Beat liked this
"I have reached the conclusion that most organizations have a blog simply because they feel they should. Many marketing departments fail to “get” blogging and have poorly visited blogs with few comments. Because their blog fails to perform, they conclude that blogging is an ineffective marketing tool and either remove it entirely or leave it to languish."

Good list. Sleep Display is on there twice though and you can actually accomplish the same that as Sleep Display does with the built-in ctrl+shift+eject, which instantly puts your monitor to sleep.

Daimler Takes 10 Percent Stake in Tesla - http://www.wired.com/autopia...
Paul Haahr, Roman Zolotarev, April Buchheit and 28 other people liked this
"One of the oldest automakers joined one of the newest Tuesday as Daimler took an equity stake of “nearly 10 percent” in Tesla Motors, a deal that will bear fruit later this year when the German company launches the electric Smart ForTwo. The deal provides Daimler with batteries and the know-how needed to bring an electric car to market “at the highest possible speed,” company officials said. In exchange, Tesla gets a big pile of cash and, perhaps more importantly, the parts and engineering expertise it needs to build the Model S sedan. “Tesla brings expertise in the battery electric front,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during a press conference carried live via webcast from Daimler’s headquarters in Stuttgart. “Daimler brings expertise in everything else. This will be a very productive relationship where both Tesla and Daimler benefit.” Neither company provided specific details of the deal, but Daimler officials said its investment is “a double-digit million sum for a nearly 10 percent stake in Tesla Motors.”"

Let's just hope this doesn't put Tesla out of business
- Jesse Stay
Tesla really isn't an American car company though -- the roadster is made in England I believe (it is a modified Lotus Elise). Not sure about the sedan -- but I suspect it is manufactured outside of the US as well.
- Brian Sullivan
BMWs are made in Georgia and Hondas in Ohio, but they are still German and Japanese.
- Paul Buchheit
Yes but the BMWs and Hondas are sold in the US. The Tesla is made in England and imported to the US.

Tesla wanted to build a plant in San Jose, but couldn't get the funding: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news...

I think just the chassis comes from England, with final assembly of the Tesla is in US.

I think they just couldn't resist "CEO Elon MUSK"

"The Tesla Roadster is currently being assembled by Lotus Cars in Hethel, England." is what the Wikipedia entry indicates -- not sure what is done in the US.
- Brian Sullivan
"Q: Where is the car made? A: Components and subsystems for the car come from a variety of sources all over the world. The Roadster itself, or "Glider" is assembled at Lotus in Hethel, UK. Final assembly for the Tesla Roadster takes place in Menlo Park, California." -- http://www.teslamotors.com/learn_m...
- Ken Sheppardson
The "glider" is basically the rolling chassis without the powertrain. See also "From Glider to Roadster: Watching My Car Get Built" -- http://www.teslamotors.com/blog5...

The avatar is actually a still from a video that Kipp Bodnar made when I was at SXSW. I needed to send Guy Kawasaki a photo for the AllTop ad, and I made a screen cap. Tada! Prior to that, my avatars have been fairly boring. This had the "soft" thinker look. :)

Thank you very much Louis and Mike. I won't lie, it's flattering to make this list. And as an aside, yes, putting blog name at the end is best for SEO. Engines are like people, they read left to right, so put what the post is about (e.g. - how people will search for it) as far left as possible.

Are there any respected Enterprise 2.0 bloggers in their 20s? Most of the dependable names I've seen in the area are corporate IT veterans with decades of experience. How can a young blogger cover the enterprise with authority? #e2.0

I publish a lot of "man on the ground" front-line observations from my Fortune 100 IT work. Big name E2.0 (like say folks at ZDNet) bloggers often have many different corporations and projects under their belts from previous consulting gigs.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Other respected voices (e.g. Jeremiah Owyang) work as analysts and regularly get behind the scenes looks at projects run by big companies.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Still others work or have worked as mouthpieces for E2.0 startups that push them towards an insider's perspective as an E2.0 solution provider. My example here would be Hutch Carpenter.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Luis Suarez is another example - he works in knowledge management and collaboration for IBM and has been there for ten years.

Ouchie, I guess this conversation will prompt me to start working my way through FriendFeed much more often ...

- Luis Suarez
Nice to see you here Luis! Thanks for reminding me of Susan's spreadsheet. I am on it but it didn't occur to me to use that as the source for some legwork. I'll see if I can't infer some rough age estimates out of that data.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I would say authority would be hard to justify, if you are just starting - the only valid authority comes from having been there, done that, not having studied it. Everything else is posturing and that has no place in tomorrow's world. Relevance is what you want to aim for - relevance is about covering things of interest and adding something new (even something small) to the debate...

- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
No, never trust anyone under 50 :-)
- Greg Guitarbuster
@Joelle - I suppose can always claim some innate authority on being a 20-something developer/blogger in today's corporate America. I've certainly got my own unique perspective and experiences, just not the decade of corporate IT scars. I still haven't figured out how to make that play on a national stage - or if I'd even be comfortable writing to that audience.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Gen-Y has lots to add to the Enterprise 2.0 debate, if only as "consumers" of enterprise IT. Anyone with experience in tech and social media can say: This is how I work at home, why can't I have the same (or better) at work? After all, time lost in the work place are real opportunity costs to the employer. What's more, young people might be better acquainted with new consumer...

- Meryn Stol
I think the most important thing is not to stray away too far from the things you have actual experience in. Know when you're talking from experience, or simply repeating what others have said. The question is: What do you *know*? What do you truly *know*?
- Meryn Stol
Just do it. If you know what you're talking about, who is going to notice your age or anything of that nature? I guess others are different, but I judge people on what they say and do, I haven't taken the time to review their resumes. It would be too easy to spot someone who is clueless based on their content. Also, I thought Kyle Lacy was pretty young...

I want to disagree. I use friend feed as a source of links to useful or interesting content (as a replacement for digg) and for discussion on those topics. I normally ignore the picture of me as a baby/it's my birthday/wedding anniversary/picture of my cat type topics. Thats the type of stuff i use facebook for. Personal opinion only. Please don't unsubscribe from me.

leolaporte: I'm finally giving up on the AppleTV - it's too underpowered and crashy. Bought a Mac Mini to replace it. XBMC? Boxee? - http://army.twit.tv/notice...

Boxee has gained a lot of momentum lately. (It's XMBC based, no?) Another option is using Understudy http://code.google.com/p... to add streaming video to Front Row.
- Paul Reynolds
Underpowered, crashy, and HOT! What's the deal with that? We have almost given up on ours. We use it mostly for the music. Listening to music while our pics scroll by - but that's it really. We use NetFlix so we instant watch on the 360 and Blu-Ray on the PS3. I've thought about using an old mini or even putting the pictures and music on the PS3.

I've got a Mac Mini running Plex http://www.plexapp.com. Couldn't be happier.
- Peter Kruit
Thanks - I've been trying to talk my wife into this and throwing away cable. I'll wait a bit longer.
- Dave
This definitely helped as I've been thinking about Apple TV vs. Mini for a long time. Is there anything on the mini that will do netflix streaming?
- Alan Braun
With the amount of media already overwhelming me, I find my Roku amazingly reliable, great quality and cheap. I have enough on my list that I will not be able to watch in the next 3 years.
- Jamie Ginsberg
I like my AppleTV w/ Boxee - kinda does what I want. It is a bit hot, but not bad. Have thought about switching to a Mini, but not really sure what that would get me? I really like that the AppleTV sync's music and photos instead of just streaming them. I also like that my Harmony One remote works fine with it.
- felix
@Bill cool, I assume you mean stream netflix using a mini to the tv? if so, that is great...send me a replay @abraun on twitter
- Alan Braun
Yeah, my Boss Lady will leave me before I talk her into giving up her college football & DirecTV dish. :o) Actually, I was cable free/Netflix only for several years until I met her (wished I had all these options back then!)
- Paul Reynolds
Also: Understudy lets you watch Netflix Watch Instantly via Front Row as well. It's basically a stripped down, full screen web browser with remote support.
- Paul Reynolds
Planning to go the route of the Mac mini media server + Boxee in another week. Getting giddy just at the thought of it. Any suggestions for how to best control the mini w/o a keyboard & mouse? Apple Remote & Front Row don't seem to give you full access to all your media (e.g., shows already downloaded via iTunes). I've been considering using a VNC iPhone app (e.g., Jaadu).
- Andrei M. Marinescu
@Andrei: Official Boxee Remote for iPhone! http://blog.boxee.tv/2009...
- Paul Reynolds
definitely Boxee, I have it setup on my Apple TV and it works like a charm. Do you have the latest version (0.9.10.5534) ? if not you should upgrade. The app store there is a great way to get more content directly pushed to you.
- Arnaud Fischer
I have Boxee and Front Row, but also have Hulu bookmarked as the home page for Safari so I can get through that. I also have an EyeTV hooked up to the Mac Mini which lets me use the device as a Tivo from the TV stations that come through the house. Boxee remote on the iphone, and there is a VNC for the iPhone but bluetooth keyboard and mouse are nice to have. Also have 2TB external drives hooked to the mini filled with DVD rips
- Andrew Leyden
Leo, absoluetly. I was mere minutes away from clicking 'buy' on my Apple TV, when I heard the news that Boxee was pulling Hulu off of it's network. That was a deal killer for me. Without Hulu, there is absolutely NO REASON to buy an Apple TV. Nevermind the fact that they will continue to send out firmware updates just to kill the Boxee service anyway. Mac Mini is the way to go. Too bad...

still no solutions for PPC Mac Minis. Looks like I'll have to ditch the poor old stinker and pony up for either an Intel Mac Mini or a hackintosh/ubuntu Dell Mini9

Prediction: friendfeed will do something to get us all to talk at SXSW. Remember two years ago? Discuss:

Two years ago Twitter was the talk of SXSW. How did that happen? Twitter got Leo Laporte to talk about it a week ahead of time. That made it heat up at the Games Developer's Conference that happened right before SXSW. Then Twitter showed up with screens at SXSW where people's Tweets were displayed on screens around the hallways. But that really wasn't why it took off then. It was simply...

- Robert Scoble
Maybe it's emotion, but I'd like to see ff and twttr harmonious, as teams, and have each other's backs against the wild.
- Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct
Ed: because Twitter cares more about movie stars, brands, TV networks, and politicians now, I doubt we'll even see many of the Twitter team at SXSW.
- Robert Scoble
I haven't been to a SXSW yet (lord willing) but I'd wager this particular feature really sold Twitter: "Then Twitter showed up with screens at SXSW where people's Tweets were displayed on screens around the hallways." Why? Because attendees interacted with Twitter without having to dedicate time to "checking it out". It fit naturally in their attendance. Does FF have something similar up the sleeve?
- Dave Ferrick
If they haven't yet, someone (Robert) needs to give them a great idea for it!
- Michael Fidler
Dave: it certainly helped add fuel to the fire and got us talking about it more. For me I was already thinking about Twitter, then I got to SXSW and the Twitter team was there in force (I saw them several times during the week) and their brand was all over the place. Can friendfeed do that? I doubt it. Friendfeed is an engineering-driven company. Evan and Biz really understand how to get people to talk about their services. By the way, even back then it was going down all the time.
- Robert Scoble
if i ever got to go, it would be for the music...
- Terry O'Fee
a better scalable gui update?
- Dave Mora
Terry: watch http://www.ustream.tv/sxsw for the music during SXSW.
- Robert Scoble
Dave: I don't know what's coming. I'm going to the Facebook announcement tomorrow. I think I'll drop in on friendfeed after that and sniff around!
- Robert Scoble
cheers. i try and download the music sample each year but WAAAY too much.
- Terry O'Fee
Has anyone made an SXSW room here on Friendfeed yet?
- Amani
Don't forget, when Jack was moved aside, Ev was then pressed by the VC's to reduce window for black ink by ~30 months. Then the world economy collapsed [which has pluses and many minuses for them]. If right now, celebrity engagement means skyrocketing toward a commercial model, would you do it?
- Ed Shahzade /NextInstinct
Ed: that's a tough question. I don't know which way I'd go. I'd love to say "no" but if my career depended on it I'd probably go with what would make money to keep the doors open. Of course, this is probably why I am not in @ev's position. I'm too much of a community guy.
- Robert Scoble
I don't really see FF going all glitz and glamor. I'd expect them (well, maybe more hope than expect) to do more on the infrastructure side than on the front end. Twitter has how many different client apps out there? Name a FriendFeed client...any FriendFeed client... that isn't a Twitter client with a tacked on "oh yeah, we do FF too." FF doesn't have the same ecosystem Twitter does. They need to do more to foster that.
- Ken Sheppardson
i get that you like this thing (friendfeed) Scoble, but i don't see the value in it for people who are not you. this is really just a structured twitter-ish conversation.
- richard
richard: if that's what you see in friendfeed you have NOT looked around very much.
- Robert Scoble
@richard I would have to disagree with you on that and I am not a Scoble 'follower' :)
- Steven Hodson
Just as I thought. I went over to check out richard's participation level here. He hasn't aggregated anything. He made two comments. I really hate people like richard who don't even try something before forming an opinion about it. Lame dude. Start here before you form an opinion about what friendfeed is: http://friendfeed.com/e...

it hasnt got the massive following of twitter yet rich, but there's a lot more interesting things on here. give it time..
- Terry O'Fee
Terry: friendfeed is growing faster than Twitter did through its first year. Oh, and it stays up 10000x more than Twitter did in its first year too.
- Robert Scoble
Comparing friendfeed to Twitter is like comparing a Ferrari to a unicycle.
- Alex Scoble
oh dont get me wrong, i like it, just trying to convince someone to stick it out! gimme a break! :P
- Terry O'Fee
Dude. A Ferrari is TOTALLY better than a unicycle.
- Ken Sheppardson
friendfeed is growing faster than friendfeed, Robert? Hehe.
- Alex Scoble
Totally, Ken. Just like how friendfeed is TOTALLY better then Twitter.
- Alex Scoble
Alex: I was typing too fast. Heheh. I fixed my error.
- Robert Scoble
Fanning the OT flame, at least recognize the value of FF for yourself. You get one big fat RSS feed of your entire online presence, bundled up in a nice, free, standardized format to do with what you like.
- Dave Ferrick
Alex: Wait... which one's the Ferrari?
- Ken Sheppardson
friendfeed is the Ferrari, Ken. Twitter is the unicycle.
- Alex Scoble
whats the delorean! i want the delorean! geeky, yet cool.
- Terry O'Fee
Sure, my "twitter conversation" comment was an oversimplification. But Twitter/facebook/etc sell themselves when you look at them. this thing does not sell it's value when you show up. I created an account because i was following scoble-link-bait, wanted to be part of the conversation and the conversation happens to be here. <sigh> alright, having been roundly scolded for dismissing the latest thing i will go watch the video and see if the value compells me.
- richard
richard: the value of Twitter isn't apparent on first look either. I've seen thousands of "this is lame" comments. Then a month later that same person becomes a Twitter evangelist. Same thing over on facebook. Same thing here. This is an aggregator, at heart, and one with a LOT of power. It does stuff Twitter can't even dream of doing.
- Robert Scoble
By the way, I don't mind if you decide friendfeed isn't for you. I just like a decent reason, not something that isn't thought out at all.
- Robert Scoble
I would love to see it be FriendFeed, but at SXSW the have GOT to have a mobile app, all there is too it. the mobile FF interface doesn't cut it. I personally think it will be something like Loopt or Zhing that takes a foothold this year.

No, to me SXSW is for music and we get very little coverage even of that here. Zane Lowe showcases some music here and there. Until these last few weeks I thought that's all what SXSW was about.
