LinkedIn launched their blog in April 2007, shortly after hiring Mario Sundar as Community Evangelist. I know there are probably almost as many different opinions about what LinkedIn ought to be doing with regard to community outreach as there are LinkedIn users. So I thought I'd see what Mario has to say about the topic on his own blog, Marketing Nirvana , where he writes about community evangelism.

Just less than a week ago a few people with an eye on the big picture of Enterprise Web 2.0 joined me for a global Enterprise RSS Day of Action. I've already thanked a whole bunch of people on Twitter and tried to link to every post I could find that talked about Enterprise RSS (If I missed you, add a link to your post as a comment below). But just to be sure I wanted to say to everyone who contributed to the wiki , shared their experiences with Enterprise RSS directly with me or joined us onlin

To coincide with the Enterprise RSS Day of Action last week , I wrote a short article for Melcrum 's Internal Comms Hub , titled Making sense of Enterprise RSS. Due to some technical issues it couldn't be published as normal on the day and instead a special PDF version was posted here (my article is on pages 3-4 of the PDF). BTW the Internal Comms Hub is a subscription site, but you can sign up for a 7-day free trial to check out the rest of the content they have available.

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

Charlene Li is Vice President & Principal Analyst at Forrester Research was asked, if she could be a social technology, which would she be? Charlene Li replied: " RSS/XML. Nobody would know who I am or what my initials mean, but I make everything work together. I'd be the foundation of mashups, social applications, and widgets. Without me, the social Web would grind to a halt. " Nice reply ;-) And remember, the Enterprise RSS Day of Action is only a day away!

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

This is a great post from Ross Mayfield and a hat tip for the link to this NYT article (I'm a sucker for this kind of thing) that reminds us that techniques we use for managing our inboxes have nothing to do with the medium, its more about individual work practices and the efficiencies of batch processing. Ross ' point here is spot on: " We've known for a while now that creating private spaces for collaboration can aid productivity by taking some email out of the inbox.

Geopolitical risk is now at the top of the agenda for CEOs. But tracking it can be difficult. The world is more interconnected than ever, whether in terms of economics and supply chains or technology and communication. Geopolitically, however, it is becoming increasingly fragmented – threatening the operations, financial well-being, and security of globally connected companies.

From time to time this issue raises its misinformed head - well, IMHO anyway. One of the recent examples was this post on the Fast Forward blog by Jon Husband titled, Retrospective on KM and the Impact of Web 2.0. He writes: " Knowledge management (KM) sometimes seems like the business buzzword that won't go away. But that may be changing. As Web 2.0 penetrates and spreads through workplaces, will it render KM as it was once known obsolete. or not ?

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
