Don't blame it: FIFA is a problem with responsibility.

As CEO of the ISP business, I really should use the World Cup to sell customers more bandwidth, it might sell simple thanks to the scare stories about the network stops working under pressure of staff in the live game.

But this is not the subject of technology. Here is one for HR.

Yes, bandwidth demand is increasing as businesses use applications more like VoIP and video conferencing along with email and Internet, traditional. Over time, All businesses will probably will look to them, but they should not use time of legislating for the cycle in traffic.

There will not be able to compete with the needs of their business by. But not its role to find a solution that is information about personnel.

Not to say I will advocate a comprehensive bans on watching. Released in the diktat HR I suspect that will create more problems than it solves.

Instead, we need to think more creatively and bosses to consider cost impact and merit of this operation is not valid.

Staff throughout the UK with two tough years. Since the last World Cup. We have seen the worst global recession in decades.

I'd like to think that UK bosses estimate found practical solutions to problems of this world. Efficient risking — how to give people a few perks cost savings.

Even as a proud Scottish business CEO I realize its own staff of growing excited about football as CEO in the industry which I am aware of certain considerations. Here are my tips:

TV set some people can see and enjoy the games kick off at 3 pm it no, or display weakness is the only way to show employees you must respect and trust them enough to manage their workload around the game important or if you are a company that is not present. Asked whether this makes the case for investing in a projector or big screen TV you've been meaning to get. If officials think it is so that they can enjoy the World Cup on big screen gets better using World Cup as a project to test the communication that occurs. Run competition weekly caption on free blogs such as blogger.com, encourage staff to iGoogle personal home page or your intranet with any World Cup related RSS feeds, it may seem trivial, but extremely popular as a good excuse for the Commission to understand better the tools we should all take advantage of business, the real warnings that could have been doing their job should suffice might have some use, but what do you think that the same team should do if you don't concede some ground on this issue? They will be the first to call in sick or use their laptops from the auditorium to watch the game. To use a footballing cliché of the day it finally does World Cup should be used to search for employees who are team players and which may need to be on the transfer list.

Not about winning-it is about working better.

Amidst all the pre-mourning for the death of print media (the Observer was selected last is minced), I'm reminded of this morning, why not make the paper.

That is pretty incredible year it returned to the company that he founded in 1996 after Apple bought his software business to the next (more or less, send basic software for Mac OSX …) First consultant in 1997, the Board ousted CEO Gil Amelio and replace him with.

MediaCloud: trend news online chart

During this unfolding drama of the death of the media industry as we know it. We face the choice of whether to retain essentially look backwards and collapse of one sector after another or looking forward, and the birth of a new media system right before our eyes.

While my colleagues in the traditional media will take up challenge first as witnessed by the great roundup of today in York Times by Richard Pérez-Pe?a headlined "as the city name from the two documents to talk to one zero" I will try and focus in the media or well-charted, General of us in the future.

For help with that, today, try opening of Harvard Berkman Center for Internet studies, and social, which has just launched an intriguing new experiment MediaCloud called in an interview with the Joshua Benton of Lab, Nieman journalisma friend Ethan Zuckman Berkman describes how MediaCloud:

"It is a set of information including some simple tools to play with it received by the Subscriber and the processing of. blogs and another couple hundred English books from around the world are very large.

"The idea behind this is that we subscribe to the RSS feeds of these newspapers and blogs, these single-story, we grab all they publish, and then we get the story of HTML which is interesting we throw hack story text into a group of tools that helps us determine what's the story about, so we cannot get the header information, we cannot get information about people mentioned in stories — called named entity.

"We now close all files in the database, so if you want to find what the story was on Fox News for the week. We can tell you the top 10 topics are. We also can go to more level and say: when news sources reported that the topics which relate most closely to it? "

Play around with MediaCloud this morning. I can see that it is very much in progress, but that the upside of workloads. Compare top conditions associated with a keyword Google in. Pajamas Media (blog site that I sometimes post media list) and The New York Times San Francisco Chronicle ten received the following results:

It frequently up to sutklao Microsoft, eBay, Yahoo and the host computer and electronics terms (such as porn) In its coverage of Google suggest to focus the business nonklao in Chronicles are the most common place (like a)- United States, San Francisco, Ca White House Washington, Barack Obama – Suggest more of a political focus and geographical coverage of Google even Yahoo, Microsoft , and YouTube. Do not place items Pajamas have different almost entirely a list dominated by topics obses blogging about — Iraq. HA Israel, Gaza food Obama, Republican party — to represent the main functionality of Google was here is a search engine.

I would rather have an analysis of the audit, but you can see some value to compare the potential for teachers. Students and the media industry, analyst old and new, here it is perhaps less obvious is the new media business opportunities.

According to the company new media emerges Part of a winning strategy in the game must be. Define those niches in the mass media that it might expand its audience the most quickly. MediaCloud may emerge as the type of data analysis tools that help entrepreneurs. With others — trend of Google for one — but this is still underdeveloped territory would follow closely as it develops.

A colleague of Bnet I minimize Erik Sherman in his post on MediaCloud today: "the actual … The clouds are present is the ability to combine data from different sources and access new levels of understanding these areas as strategic planning or analysis of the market place. "

Thanks to Tamara Baltar and Erik Sherman for pointing me to today's topic.

Ban Editors and moderators from Enterprise 2.0

Babson College Professor Tom Davenport recommended Web 1.5 is probably a better solution to 1.0 or 2.0 any single for modern business and he says. Best of what experts and experts proposed a world more free-wheeling. Of user-generated content

I'm dead set against his methods. It is the surest way to kill any useful 2.0 create this is the reason.

In his blog business into hard wa ngaraikan why 1.5 is greater than 2.0, Davenport argues:

"Proponents of 2.0 thoughts on user-generated content is blowing wind of 2.0, 2.0, Enterprise, or Rhubarb 2.0 Health 2.0 is, we believe that how their request only participative work and of course. No request in democratizing of content creation and management However, in most cases, the value in the relevant professional.

He lays out the central argument is that we as consumers benefit with access to both user-generated content as well as the opinions of experts. His example: role for blogging Huffington Post gaming nerd helps us understand the world around us is of course, but we should also value cool-headed reports from the New York Times.

There is no argument. Here Additional resources better knowledge.

To do business.

But I think Tom is to turn off the music when he made his 2.0 interest in business as soon as the idea of many information sources and blogs "curated", and discussions. His argument: the unstated facilitators and community organizers, exchanging ideas and easily digestible.

But the control comes with a price, as well as the presence of the server object can alter the results of an experiment. The appearance of the editor or curator shape corrals and dilutes the follow conversations.

This is good news in the world 2.0 we don't need em ', we can immediately to supervisor because the existing technology of the Web, useful tools for connecting to and causes the stream of knowledge that we find useful. These tools include content tagging (and/folksonomy or structured taxonomy), Social bookmarks. Visualization collaboration and wikis that share online. RSS feeds — all help us to understand the data as it flows by.

Controlled by the meeting on track but their bias rather than benefit Exchange 2.0 the simple truth is that businesses could create network 2.0 by Fiat Executive. They can only make sure that the tools and infrastructure in place for people who want to network, form.

Agree with me that "Web 1.5 ″ is worst of worlds, 1.0 and 2.0 or Tom Davenport, right that expert and author of the content is more effective when we share. Instead of separately?

How to break bad habits ' porn '.

I usually play with my friends that I have a habit of "house porn" I love catching those DIY shows on TV and I swoon over before and after home makeover show.

I've even been known to get your copy of sneaky home remodeling magazine when they checkout Home Depot unit.

But it never occurred to me that I may have similar information until I read a blog by Andre Kibbe tools for thinking about curbing porn information.

Andre wrote

"I like and that is a problem — I can consume indefinitely, it is not a case of information overload, but of porn: read gratuitous to alleviate anxiety or boredom instead enable changes, positive or problem solving."

Uh oh, that sounds blanket much like me

As a journalist I've been training dig for information to support my article and keeps track of current events, but there are times that I have to admit that when I announce overboard — a dozen bookmarks Web sites, 5. Download the report and eight telephone interviews to write 800-word story simply talking about the person.

RSS feeds and I'm out of control, why do I think I have time to read the newspaper, the four main and five dozen blogs every day, with six or seven newsletters. I don't know.

And know that my postman joke with me about the volume of a magazine that I subscribed. At last count it as three weeklies and monthlies 11 Tips (Yes I secret he good holidays.)

So I read with interest about your experience with Andre and food low, how to find his "batching", information stored in the Andre decided to make his Sunday not to take a day — a book on his reads his nonfiction books. A copy of one of the weekly news magazine, and bookmark any online article. He has a book in the previous week.

His exception: e-mail and other messaging two minutes reading fiction (which is for fun), and the information needed to troubleshoot or active project.

Well, it is appropriate, but for some … For me, not as a blogger and journalist I think download news one time per week won't let me enough to read and research and batching all mine. In one day sounds like textbooks made my head explode.

Conversely, it is a real eye-opener to see much gratuitous data flows into my life on a daily basis, so I did a bit of a different method.

For the first time. I use Google Reader features of folders to organize your RSS feeds into three categories: jobs, career & fun. In the past is for determining each day's I'm a journalist and blogger, two is for an overview article about journalism. Writing, editing, and other third parties that are clearly good — Benefits immediately? I don't get sidetracked reading blog working with noticed blog "fun" contiguous and think "Oh I just checked. The Union quickly. Can I save something mindless for when I actually have time to kill second? I deleted three of my feeds four newspapers Don't really want to read the story of the same news editions, pick my favorite and decided to read it for 15 minutes thing in the morning to cut into my newsletter in half and now. Reserve Friday night for skimming them for my home magazine. I've made off-limits during working hours. Now they are on the desk and nightstand coffee instead of my my desk.

They did not change much, but I certainly can see the changes in the sense of overload of data less, and my focus. I am because I'm not constantly been sidetracked doyoroi enticing in my Inbox and I was able to refine more of what I want, and by my efforts in finite time spans concentrating instead will try to keep up in dribs and drabs.

Have a run-in with porn or not, and how did you break your habits? I love to hear your opinion.

Gambles by increasing prices NY time

"Dear Home delivery subscriber

"Effective Monday, june 1, the increase in the price of delivery within the House. Times ... We regret having to increase the rate at this time of financial challenge for many across the country, however the number of steps we take to secure the quality principles defined in time and make it a high purchase value, so that readers of one of the most discerning. "

Therefore, Read a piece of white paper with marks of the New York Times that slipped out of my morning newspaper on Sunday morning. To confirm speculation that has been created in the business news for the week is a member of the national edition is now must decide whether to read the printed version $ 7.50 every Sunday or whether this product is the price itself out of the reach of me.

As I was mulling this over while you SIP coffee morning (home-brewed) I remember the last time that I decided to re-up was time to make sure that didn't think the story related by reading documents online, mostly via e-mail.

This is not really happened depends, however, thanks to social media and my friends to share TwitterRSS, and Smub now seem easy to find stories online than in print versions. Today, easily found. John Markoffof playing pieces about online artificial intelligence, but only after concluding that no print version. Did I spell it week in reviewpart I usually keep it on for later)

All inquire whether this price with times now decided the prudent business may be others out there like me that don't want to reason that no duplicates. After all. We have long since been cut off that morning latte land lines and other unnecessary luxuries.

The paper version is really worth $ 769.60 last year when economic aspects?

I am sure that the paper does not have all the requisite market research to determine the amount of additional revenue (~ 40 million mentioned) This move may create and factoring in some fall off in Member. If people believe the economic downturn has ended and we are now on the rebound. I suspect this price rise will drive many people.

But the feeling of I think most consumers that clinically is nowhere near over yet. If I was moved by this time, Members realize the cost, a new reason to rethink commitment to their business model is outdated and its main products.

Facebook and the business model and technology!

Understanding Goldman (GS) $ 500 million investment Facebookthe discussion different can propose some accidental RADIUS.

Blogosphere just to see one of the crossings sword periodic through comparison of the Twitter technology to distribute Web information called RSS in that it is the basis of the reasons why Facebook may thrive while many other tech companies are not. No matter how much investment they receive Those who succeed or fail by accidentally viewing technology, but the big winner, never forget that they are in business.

In the TechCrunch mg Siegler analyze that people come across the story of site comparisons, Siegler WordPress data from a number Google from (GOOG) analysis of the past that cannot display the Facebook site reference main even did not list Google Reader which uses RSS (really simple syndication), a set of mechanisms that alert people of the Web content that is updated. The data Google Analytics suggests instead that Twitter Siegler and Facebook have RSS feeds for TechCrunch readers.

Not fast, so write Dave Weiner, technologist and industry think that RSS Wizard Siegler make common errors in writing all the technical information by Weiner:

They do not understand how the industry loops so they misread label it as they try to understand the connection between the RSS and the.

He says that real strength is its ease of movement and interest in the feed Subscribe in one click each time interval. He said that in the end will make the false steps and people referred to the ability of service becomes unbundled and available in some form. He thought that when it occurs, RSS, or "what classification from RSS".

Don't get into arguments that tend to long with room for Siegler 's, view the latest data analysis to extrapolate trends and Weiner of which attempts to predict the future, according to the important and visible pattern.

What's more interesting is the frequency in high tech talk focuses on overtly in the technology itself is easy to see why this is the same group of shoemakers are endlessly stuck by the details of the construction of arch and lasts the latest updates.

However, rarely if ever technology makes or breaks a company. If the sheer inventiveness is one measure of oldsuccess. There must be a combination Apple 's (AAPL) Microsoft and (MSFT) in a day, rather than the company has many interesting artifacts that went nowhere commercial.

Why does the new logo of the Starbucks is a Dumb idea?

There is a lot of people about the new Starbucks logo. First for Starbucks since 1992 year with an accusation that the company logo is satanic element because it is pictured as two-tailed Mermaid, a pagan God goddess.

I think that is a silly idea until reading what Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz had to say about their new logo: "is really important. This is a wide variety of logos Corporation which is a mirror image of the strategy Apparently. Starbucks plans to diversify, and not to be buttonholed by a logo is a company that sells coffee.

The only way that the CEO to talk about what this is, if he is possessed by only doyosun is a demon with a MBA in strategic marketing.

Schultz is endorsing the strategy is what is called the "brand extension is continued from the misconceived belief that brands (including mood that people feel about a certain product) can be harnessed for other types of products is what they teach you in school B.

And it's totally ridiculous

Partial failure extension brand more ridiculous, including El wayachiwit, soda, a tokrua pool cleaners Entrees of toothpaste in time Apple Ben-Gay aspirin Smith and Wesson Mountain Bikes and yoghurt Cosmopolitan Magazine (which is. Do not drink)

In the B-school For example, that is often trotted out as a brand that success is a Playboy who makes more money than they make merchandising in the magazine but that is for example the width since Playboy brand almost from the start of the brand "lifestyle" brand magazine, as just about any product that is committed to a certain age men fit within the promise of the brand.

In the case of Starbucks Brand is always the "good, but kinda expensive coffee" to everyone as adults before the year 2000 is dead, any attempt to expand the brand beyond what you expect to find in the coffee shop is a waste of time and effort.

Therefore, To change the logo as the exercise is pointless.? What's worse Leave the "coffee" from the logo just weakens brand because it weakens the Association of the company's main product is worse? It may cause the company to lose focus on the main products destroy the brand.

I'm reminded of when chicken Boston renamed as Boston Market, there is no reason whatsoever, because the store sold rotisserie chicken Boston-style. The market is not in the post.? Three years later the company filed for bankruptcy are stupid.

Similarly, older used billions dollars over several decades that attempt to change the position of a brand than those of the copiers.? Ask almost anyone on the planet is old and they will tell you: "they make catastrophic" copiers "or they use to make think copiers.

Every time you see companies trying to expand the brand. You can find top management will be hypnotized by the marketers of brands.? When under way They lose track of the fact that brands are only lingering emotional reactions to your products … life there. Find resumes of customers with existing products.

Define your brand because nearly all trade in this market — and particularly redesign logo — a waste of time and effort perfectly and to redesign the logo is to help the company move into another category … product is beyond ridiculous.
