Decisions, decisions. Business decisions.
don’t mean to insult your intelligence, so permit me to explain that I didn’t understand the difference between profit and revenue until I took a correspondence course in accounting five years after graduating from college. Five years ago, an Information Week survey revealed that “more companies are justifying their ventures not in terms of ROI but in terms of strategic goals… Creating or maintaining a competitive edge was cited most often as the reason for deploying a business application.”

Network as a Service: Open Source Enables Efficient Cloud Hosting
Now, the network needs to be intelligent enough to not only route traffic both a bridge and a toll-gate, but to also provision and de-provision all aspects of the environment at a moments notice.
Extreme's openness is in the form of web services, many offered that are offered as XML or CLI scripting that allow integrate tools into the core of the network via XML, and configure edge ports for security and VOIP access as dynamic provisioning.
To keep up with the growth of cloud computing and virtualization, networks keep evolving. But unlike Twitter's Trending Topics, IT

Infographic of the Day: Google's "Data for a Changing World"
But Google, for once, actually isn't on the leading edge with this new offering. And Tableau Public is a new freeware app that intelligently suggests the right data visualization, and then lets you publish it to the Web as a flash embed:
Why isn't its charting functionality more intuitive, and more intelligent?
Google's new offering--and a slew of others--highlights a new trend that allows everyone to publish, graph, and share data. And Microsoft Excel is getting lapped.

What Will Change Everything?
As each year winds to a close, John Brockman, a literary agent representing some of the finest minds in science and technology and the founder of Edge (a 501c3), poses a provocative question to an international community of physicists, psychologists, futurists, thought leaders and dreamers. This year’s annual Edge question, What will change everything? , generated responses from Freeman Dyson, Danny Hillis, Martin Seligman, Craig Venter, and Juan Enriquez, to name a few. Regular Radar contributor Linda Stone sent this in to be posted today.

The Cutting Edge of Smart Cards: Japan's Suica Card
We can find a more cutting edge example of smart cards in, where else, Japan. Suica stands for "Super Urban Intelligent Card." This week we're looking at the world of Smart Cards. Yesterday we checked out the Oyster Card , an RFID-powered smart card that millions of Londoners are using to pay for public transport. It's one of the largest implementations of RFID in the western world.

Profitably Running an Online Business in the Web 2.0 Era
Seems easy but almost all companies have people in the loop to manage the edge-cases. Unfortunately, edge cases represent the The Long Tail of customer service. In other words, you can't directly monetize The Long Tail without this. Lying directly in the primary tenets of Web 2.0 however, are a series of two-edged issues from a revenue perspective. One of the things I'm doing this week is preparing for a presentation at Web Builder 2.0 on how to monetize mashups in Las Vegas next week. Consequently, I've been pulling together notes, talking

Going Beyond User Generated Software: Web 2.0 and the Pragmatic Semantic Web
The premise of the article is that we are finding new ways to mine human intelligence which can be exploited by building a new layer of "meaning" on top of the accumulating mass of global collective intelligence that is growing by leaps and bounds every day on the Internet. Collective intelligence of course is one key aspects of Web 2.0, I was traveling most of last week and so was unable to weigh in on the Web 3.0 mini-tempest that occurred when John Markoff published his exploratory piece in the NY Times last Sunday.

Web 2.0 Continues As Most Used New Internet Term
For simplicity's sake, however, this is what we normally use to provide the most straightforward definitions of all things Web 2.0: Web 2.0 - The continuously changing, participatory Web with a focus on building collective intelligence on myriad devices and primarily servicing The Long Tail. transforms and improves what they do, from architectures of participation and harnessing collective intelligence to radical decentralization (with cloud computing being the most interesting new example) and open service ecosystems . This "localization" of Web

Three Mobile User Experience Trends to Watch in 2009
Here are three edges I think are worth tracking:
They’ll leverage sensors, algorithms, gesture and use patterns to decrypt context in order to predict our information needs - and hopefully not in a creepy, artificial intelligence kinda way. 2008 was truly a milestone year for mobile. In an industry that has long felt downtrodden by a multitude of technical and business constraints, wild and exciting inflection points burst like fireworks across the mobile landscape, bringing visibility to our industry and renewing our hopes.

Organized Information is the Next Moonshot
The military already lives this idea with its growing use of the Predator aircraft , bomb-sniffing robots , and other autonomous intelligent vehicles linked to situation rooms where the best experts evaluate the battle in real time.
The central theme of the information revolution is that more and more intelligence has simultaneously moved both toward the edge and toward the center. The media is busy repurposing footage of Buzz Aldrin's desire that President Obama fund a mission to Mars . As much as I'm a sucker for a great adventure, I think the brave Commander

The Best Web 2.0 Software of 2006
Search engines like Google can help you find the material you're looking for using keywords, but social bookmarking sites can let you directly harness the collective intelligence of other users on the Web the directly share personal interests with you. Though Digg is more popular in terms of traffic than the next three most popular peer production news sites in this category combined (though only barely), Digg remains primarily a technology news site, with actual general purpose news seeping in occasionally around the edges. Looking back over 2006 it's clear that we've experienced one of the most remarkable growth surges in Web application history.
