Annals of Innovation: How David Beats Goliath: Reporting & Essays: The New Yorker
A few years ago, Ranadivé wrote a paper arguing that even the Federal Reserve ought to make its decisions in real time—not once every month or two. “Everything in the world is now real time,” he said. “So when a certain type of shoe isn’t selling at your corner shop, it’s not six months before the guy in China finds out. It’s almost instantaneous, thanks to my software

This is the second half of the insurgent’s creed. Insurgents work harder than Goliath. But their other advantage is that they will do what is “socially horrifying”—they will challenge the conventions about how battles are supposed to be fought.

Free Newspaper Venture Depends on Local Blogs - NYTimes.com
I think this is a fascinating effort. Take local blogs, print them and sell ads around them. Very interesting. A lot will depend on the quality of the content. All the content is hyper local and the bloggers get a share of advertising. I imagine most blogger would do it for the exposure.

Starting up: Hiring a 'gray' work force can reduce errors, increase efficiency | Starting Up | Idaho Statesman

I thought this was a fascinating concept 'graysourcing'. As more and more babyboomers "retire" they aren't really going to want to retire. I think we will see a huge uptake in hiring this experienced labor force instead of just outsourcing.

Challenges of Social Media Types in the Workplace : [chrisbrogan.com]

This article talks about issues that social media employees have with firewalls. While firewalls are a pain HP doesn't block anysite (at least not that I found yet). Outlook however will be the death of me. I hate Outlook! Passionate seething hatred. But there is no other option in our corporate IT environment. I can't even IMAP it to Gmail. But I haven't given up the fight yet. I'll find some way eventually, or die trying.

Several articles and blog posts have been published over the last few years on what businesses need to consider to manage and employ Generation Y (aka the Millennials). There was even a Managing Generation Y book written. And I think the changes in management and leadership that are coming about for that will also apply for organizations considering hiring a social media participant, someone like me, for instance.
Why Wikis Are Conquering The Enterprise
- This is excellent. All the data you would need to sell wiki's in your organization. - tacanderson on 2006-10-27

Unlikely as it may seem, wikis are now being adopted by enterprises large
and small more quickly than celebrities adopt African orphans.
So much so that Gartner analyst Kathy Harris predicted that by 2009, 50
percent of U.S. companies will be using wikis.
That helps explain why vendors large and small are lining up to provide
enterprises with enterprise-ready wiki solutions.
Large outfits. such as IBM (Quote<!--, <A HREF="http://www.internetnews.com/stocks/quotes/chart.php/IBM/chart">Chart</A>-->) and Microsoft (Quote<!--, <A HREF="http://www.internetnews.com/stocks/quotes/chart.php/MSFT/chart">Chart</A>-->) , are wrapping wiki functionality into their real-time
collaboration tools, respectively Lotus Sametime and Sharepoint Server.
Smaller vendors like Jotspot, Socialtext, CustomerVision and Klir Technologies are among the vendors offering stand-alone wiki solutions.
Rather than being driven by senior management, however, adoption is coming
mainly from project managers and department-level executives.
"In almost every big corporation, some group is already using a wiki," said
Andrew McAfee, associate professor of technology and operations management
at the Harvard Business School.
One reason is that wikis hold the promise of helping companies stimulate
more innovation by their employees.
That's important: 80 percent of CEOs see collaboration as being critical to
growth, according to a survey conducted by IBM last March. -
