Itranet Design Magazine: Found Software for Virtual Teamwork
The technologies that enable groups to piece together a shared vision are technologies that enable people to see the same thing. A movie screen, TV screen, computer screen, data projectors and large monitors all create a shared space, a place that all participants can share thoughts and ideas.

Gerry McGovern: Website content: the need to specialize
One of the most serious mistakes that people new to content make is underestimating the expense and sheer difficulty of launching a successful publication. Yes, the Internet has made everyone a publisher, and every website is indeed a publication. What is lacking, however, is an understanding of publishing. Hard lessons are only recently being learned.

NY Times: Internet Surpasses Its Original Goal
To judge by the availability of media sites, many of which were inaccessible in the hours just after the first plane hit the World Trade Center on Tuesday morning, one might assume the Internet had failed the test. But in fact, according to firms that analyze Web site traffic and performance, while some sites slowed, the overall flow of data across the Internet was not degraded by either damage to critical fiber optic lines or the clogging of those lines by Web users.

Washington Post: Taking Classes To

Washington Post: Taking Classes To the Masses While the killer app that would draw people by the millions to online learning hasn't materialized, while many high-profile ventures flounder, there have been big strides at a more mundane level. Hundreds of universities of every sort have been putting some pretty basic courses up on the Web, using sometimes pedestrian software. And students seem to think they're okay. Community colleges and regional universities that have slowly, organically moved into the online arena -- doing their old job in a new way -- have succeeded where the flashy business types and big-time private schools have not... The nonprofit tortoises may have passed the dot-com hares.

Converge: The Power Of Portals: Personalizing The Web To Build Community
Good relationships are built on mutual understanding. When individuals can use a portal to get the targeted information they require, they are more likely to be in touch with an institution on a more regular basis. That kind of frequent usage promotes stronger relationships and deeper bonds between the individual and the institution.

Tehelka: Not just falling buildings

Tehelka: Not just falling buildings
As the talking heads on American television have begun bristling with threats of armed retaliation, it is necessary to say this over and over again. The Arab people are not just terrorists, but teachers. Not just terrorists, but patient mothers. Not just terrorists, but children wanting toys. Or, to hell with cliches! They are not just terrorists, but a man worried about his second ulcer. Not just terrorists, but a woman wanting books. Not just terrorists, but a family terrified of terrorists who come in tanks.

Fast Company: Good to Great

Fast Company: Good to Great Here are the facts of life about these and other change myths. Companies that make the change from good to great have no name for their transformation -- and absolutely no program. They neither rant nor rave about a crisis -- and they don't manufacture one where none exists. They don't "motivate" people -- their people are self-motivated. There's no evidence of a connection between money and change mastery. And fear doesn't drive change -- but it does perpetuate mediocrity. Nor can acquisitions provide a stimulus for greatness: Two mediocrities never make one great company. Technology is certainly important -- but it comes into play only after change has already begun. And as for the final myth, dramatic results do not come from dramatic process -- not if you want them to last, anyway. A serious revolution, one that feels like a revolution to those going through it, is highly unlikely to bring about a sustainable leap from being good to being great.

NY Times: Better Networks: Look to Nature Over the ensuing decades, as the Internet turned from an academic and military tool into a mass medium, only the efficiencies of packet switching have enabled it to meet demand. Even so, as any Web user or e-mail correspondent can attest, traffic can still be congested and unpredictable. Now ideas for advances in data routing are beginning to emerge from a surprisingly simple model: the ant.

Nando Times: A disconnect in online learning
Since the dawn of the Internet age, boosters have predicted the end of leafy college campuses as schools go virtual. The miracle of the Internet was supposed to let great teachers reach any student, any time, anywhere. And people all over the world would get the equivalent of a Harvard degree through a computer and a network connection... What a crock.

CIO: Thanks for the Memories

CIO: Thanks for the Memories
Perhaps the most insidious side of the layoff epidemic is the intellectual capital that is walking out the door. CIO's case study examines how Northrop Grumman conducted a knowledge "audit," polling nearly 5,000 employees with a 97-question survey to determine their knowledge needs, sharing practices and prejudices. The results confirmed that employees were eager to share their knowledge in an automated system, but that challenges, such as integrating the systems across lines of business, remained. Knowledge management expert Tom Davenport critiques Northrop's efforts and plans, which he says are mostly sound, and predicts that we'll see more such projects motivated by the loss of intellectual assets. But Davenport challenges the willingness of employees to participate in systems intended to minimize the impact of their own eventual layoff.
