It’s time to review how my Predictions 2012 are faring, now that half the year has slipped by (that was fast, no?). One thing that stands out is the timing wrt Twitter – my first two predictions were about the company, and now that I think about it, given the news just this week (and the attendant debate ), I should have realized how the two could be in direct conflict with each other.

I always like to see examples that show the application of mobile + social + cloud in situations beyond the normal office-based knowledgeworker scenarios. In this case, this Webinar from Socialtext provides a case study on Industrial Mold & Machine who are using mobile access to provide access to their social intranet on the shop floor. The Webinar also features Andrew McAfee, who provides context for the case study.

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.

While studying Lean in general and Kanban in particular (and making the same bias as the KM evangelists, i.e establishing relationships that may not be relevant between two disciplines I’m passionate about) I’ve noticed this common trait with Social Software. By making the flow of work visible through actionable information , these simple tools lower the level of water and allow to surface deeply hidden organisation problems.

The recent " Common Approach to Federal Enterprise Architecture " (US Executive Office of the President, May 2 2012) is extremely timely and well-organized guidance for the Federal IT investment and deployment community, as useful for Federal Departments and Agencies as it is for their stakeholders and integration partners. The guidance not only helps IT Program Planners and Managers, but also informs and prepares constituents who may be the beneficiaries or otherwise impacted by the investment.

Recently my site has been hit with a ton of “manual spam” – folks who are paid to post short comments in the hope they’ll appear and drive pagerank back to various sites (or perhaps just increase their or their clients’ visibility.) It’s not hard to kill these comments, though it’s a bit of an irritant when they pile up.

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.

Even it biggest supporters in the US, like Florida Power & Light, eventually "slashed its program because of worker complaints of excessive paperwork".

[Very behind on blog posts so time to crank some out] A week or so ago, Chrome 20 was released to the stable channel. There was little fanfare and even the official Chrome blog didn't have much to declare apart from bugfixes. There were some things going on under the hood for the Linux platform, though. Security things, and some of them I implemented and am quite excited by.

The acquisition is unlikely to have much impact in the short term, although it may give Yammer an advantage when negotiating with some enterprise buyers through their new link to Microsoft. Certainly the acquisition won’t impact the immediate next release of SharePoint. There is of course massive potential to integrate activity streams and other social computing concepts across the Microsoft suite of products.

Australia’s big four banks (Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ and NAB) might well be the most profitable in the developed world, but its all relative in their home markets when they are all jostling for customers. How much is social business playing a part in this competition? It wasn't that long ago that the Australian banking sector was lagging behind the rest of the world.
