The post On Data appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. A glimpse of some of the thinking I’ve been doing about the impact of “data” on our culture. I am close (so damn close) to sealing myself off and into only thinking about this, for my book ( OpenCoSF is my last big project till I do). But thanks to the Vibrant Data project for taking an interview I did at TED earlier this year, and making it into something that almost makes me look like I have my s**t together

This video of Kai Riemer , from the University of Sydney, is a great introduction to enterprise microblogging and the emergent properties of enterprise social software. His presentation is based on his research into how people are using Yammer in large companies. However, this isn't a recipe - the big take away for me from his research is that different organisations use enterprise social software differently and the importance of identifying bottom-up use cases.

Sad news to hear that severe budget restrictions mean the Georgia State Archives www.bizjournals.com suspend their services. I had the pleasure of visiting the archives 2 years ago and it is a lovely facility run by some very welcoming professionals but like many excellent quality archives it is expensive to operate. This is the rational behind our launch of Preservica, our cloud hosted Digital Preservation as a Service offering.

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.

As you may be aware, Twitter is transforming its technical platform to match what it considers to be a brand-friendly business model (i.e. its going to involve advertising). The main impact is on the tools that consumers will use or that people will embed on Websites. We are now starting to get a glimpse of what new features Twitter's stricter control of that UI will bring - for example, user surveys and a new visual profile design.

I've been tracking the appearance of "task" orientated enterprise social software solutions and noticed that Alan Lepofsky at Constellation Research has released a report on Social Task Management ("STM"): These STM platforms augment standard project management features, such as assignments, due dates and priorities, with modern social networking features enabling people to work together more efficiently.

On October 5, 2012, the Article 29 Working Party (the “Working Party”) issued an Opinion providing further input on the recent data protection reform discussions in the EU. The Opinion follows the Working Party’s first Opinion on the EU data protection reform proposals issued on March 23, 2012. The Opinion indicates that the Working Party welcomes the steps undertaken by the Council of the European Union on the proposed reform (the “Regulation”) and provides further guidance, notably on the defi

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.
