Michael Chertoff - Wikipedia
- Mitchell TsaiMichael Chertoff (born November 28, 1953) was the 2nd US Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush and co-author of the USA PATRIOT Act. He previously served as a judge on the US Court of Appeals, as a federal prosecutor, and as assistant US Attorney General. He succeeded Tom Ridge as US Secretary of Homeland Security on February 15, 2005.

- Mitchell TsaiMichael gave a great talk - now that he's not in politics...he can answer questions :-) NIMTF (Not In My Term of Office) is a problem - Politicians want a payoff while they serve. Crazies can DO a lot today. Security needs private sector help, it's not just government anymore. - Private companies are on the front line. Today, Internet & international travel allow terrorists to gather in groups & recruit from anywhere.
- Mitchell TsaiAbout security...Perfection is not the method..."driving risk down" is the mantra. We can't stop biological attacks (anthrax, plague, much less the genetically engineered stuff).
- Mitchell Tsai2 months ago CNN special on "Cybershockwave". Can we physically/virtually attack servers in foreign countries? Many "Black swan" events recently - (1) Oil Spill (2) Financial (3) Terrorism (4) Natural Disasters - Katrina. Our worries are not just Iraq & Afghanistan - any area without effective governance - Yemen, Somalia, N Africa, N Mexico. Now they don't stay to themselves, they come find us (the US).
- Mitchell TsaiEU doesn't believe in "information sharing", rather they compartmentalize, but the US shares better after 9/11 - most legal barriers are gone. Once a week meetings with the President - what are we doing to prevent X? - help push progress. Michael used to prosecute organized crime - unlike 24 & Godfather, most criminals are stupid, but they are stupid sociopaths.

- Keiko YamadaLatest blog post: Skip the buy-in and get ‘em addicted! http://bit.ly/c8LEkA
I’ve posted before on how I think micro-blogging is a low threshold to participation as it merges the concept of reading, blogging, sharing links, chatting, connecting; into the same window…kind of like we do all sorts of communications through the email window. But more accurately the low threshold to participation refers to the level of effort it requires to contribute. Basically, my dad uses status updates in Facebook, but I ain’t gonna see him using a blog or wiki in a hurry.
In Michael Idinopulos’s post, Launch E2.0 broad, then go deep, he talks about how different tools require a different type of participation effort on the micro level. For example micro-blogging requires great participation (network effects) to take off at the macro level, but at the micro level it doesn’t ask much of the user.
Here’s how Michael says it:
|
"Some modes of collaboration have a really low threshold of participation: It’s very easy to get started on them because individuals don’t need a ton of engagement to find them useful. Other modes of collaboration have a really high threshold: Users don’t see the point unless they invest a lot of time learning and using the tools. Historically, Enterprise 2.0 implementations have focused on collaborative tools fairly high participation thresholds: blogs and wikis. That’s not by design, it’s by default. Until recently, those were the only Enterprise 2.0 tools that showed potential for high-value business use. Since these activities required a lot of engagement, we smothered our pilot participants with training and encouragement–which forced us to keep the pilots small. Today, Enterprise 2.0 participation is a whole different game. At the "low threshold" end of the curve, we have low-engagement tools like social messaging (internal "Twitter"), social bookmarking. By leading your implementation with these low-threshold tools, you lower the risk of implementation while still launching at the scale required for success."
|
This got me thinking about the recent use of Yammer by a few of us at work…I was thinking about Buy-in vs Just do it (Proof of Concept)
At work, like anything, to buy a new product and implement it requires you to get buy-in and all that goes with it…most often something like micro-blogging won’t be seen as important. It’s a hard sell…but once you use it you can’t do without it…people have to "feel" it to understand.
Here’s another approach.
Start using Yammer as a Proof of Concept. It’s free, they host a secure network for you based on your email domain. Then invite someone, and they will invite someone else, and it goes on.
If it takes off and people become hooked, it’s hard for management to point the finger as no one person is responsible for it’s use, and rather than taking it away, they will see that it must obviously have value, and they can offer an installed version.
NOTE: This assumption is based on people actually using it to sense-make at work, and not for personal chatting.
And get this, you can continue to use Yammer or another product like Socialcast, Socialtext Signals, etc. as micro-blogging is different than other content platforms in that there is no need for migration. As it’s more about the moment, once posts are a couple of weeks old they don’t really matter that much (I’m generalising here, but it’s more true than not). This means you can jump to another system without a worry.
When you use free tools as your Proof of Concept, and get people to "feel" a product, and hopefully hooked on it, there is more chance of fulfilling your vision, rather than the big and slow approach of getting hierarchy buy-in, strategy documents, charters, implementation and training requirements.
Grassroots DIY Proof of Concept is how you can creep something into the organisation without being faced by a wall.
Participants in such an informal program are called IT Rogues, but they are just trying to do their job better, and this should be noticed. Something like a rogue wiki is easier to be shut down and point the finger at as it will have an owner and a group using it…whereas if micro-blogging takes off, who do you point the finger at…and how can hundreds/thousands of people be wrong.
The only way I see my advice as a problem is if people use Yammer for non-business use…and if the business will have the problem of not trusting Yammer with their data being leaked.
But if they can see beyond this and want to penetrate the hierarchy, then this experimentation and failure approach is how to cleverly penetrate the hierarchy.
This approach doesn’t have to be done without consent, part of the strategy with the powers that be may be the use of Yammer as a Proof of Concept as a first step, and if this shows signs of success and value, then a second step will be taken
You don’t have to use a free hosted approach, there are many free download and open source micro-blogging products. This addresses the security issue, but then the finger can be pointed at the person who installed it. In this case hopefully instead of getting buy-in, mention that it’s free, and you will get an approval to test it out…little do they know this test may go viral, and become a tool people can’t do without. The power of hosted freemium.
But, what’s for sure is that the problem is not investment. Like Euan Semple says, "if you make the ‘i’ small enough, no-one will care about the R”…as long as the concept is understood.
Why spend time and money on the usual buy-in, strategy, implementation, etc…when you can just get a product download for free and experiment right now….cut to the chase.
The point of this post is that requests for a new product will be slow, may be disapproved, may be implemented the wrong way…instead now we are empowered to demonstrate proof that this is a really good idea buy using a free-hosted service…this wasn’t possible a few years ago
At a meeting 6 months later you may mention to your manager that micro-blogging is a good idea. They may agree or disagree, but either way not have any leadership or time in harnessing the value and passion of your suggestion. That’s when you can say, you want value in seeing how it supports knowledge workers to sense-make, check this out, we are already doing it
In a way, we now have the tools and type of service available that allows knowledge workers to disintermediate management as we have access to the resources we need and make the decision to use them…again this wasn’t possible a few years ago
The goal isn’t disintermediation…humans are self-organising, we do what it takes to create conditions for better sense-making, to be more productive, to be more aware
Yammer seems to have a great business model, as they allow people to get hooked for free, and then offer a premium version if organisations want their own secure version…it’s win win for both Yammer, and organisations.

- Keiko YamadaRT @chrismessina: Awesome! @superfeedr announces support for parsing #ActivityStreams! http://dlvr.it/Z4cX /via @julien51
There is no doubt that feeds and social networks go along together very well. I even argued that building a social application without feeds and PubSubHubbub was a mistake. Today, we’re announcing that Superfeedr is now able to parse ActivityStreams data! We decided to add this to our schema (like we did a few weeks ago for GeoRSS).
Even if atom entries are the smallest common denominator to describe online content, it’s now obvious that they’re not allowing us to represent fully the richness of social data.
If you’re not familiar with it. Here is a small intro to Activity Streams.
They’re support by a lot of the big social players, including Facebook, MySpace, Windows Live, Google Buzz, Opera, "TypePad"https://wiki.activitystrea.ms/TypePad-Activity-Streams, Gowalla…
They extends the regular atom entries, by adding 2 nodes: verbs and object. The author information can also be extended.
With this, it is possible to represent almost any action done by a specific user: Julien commented on a blog post. Astro was tagged in a picture. John friended Andy.
Soon, we will start to extrapolate ActivityStreams data out of non-as data, and then, all the data that you’ll get from Superfeedr will be ActivityStream!

- johnpiercyDon't know if it's still there, but there used to be a really big and popular car dealership in Accident. It was always funny to see so many cars with "Accident" stamped on the back.

- Mo Kargas"SWiM is a semantic wiki for collaboratively building, editing and browsing mathematical knowledge represented in the domain-specific structural semantic markup language OMDoc. It motivates users to contribute to collections of mathematical knowledge by instantly sharing the benefits of knowledge-powered services with them. SWiM is currently being used for authoring content dictionaries, i. e. collections of uniquely identified mathematical symbols, and prepared for managing a large-scale proof formalisation effort."

Think the distinction between Facebook profiles, Pages and Groups is confusing? Add a new wrinkle to the mix: the Facebook Community Page.
The new feature looks a whole lot like the Facebook Pages businesses and brands create, but there’s one key difference: It’s for the hordes of “unofficial” Pages that have been created by users in support of topics or causes (like “Can this pickle get more fans than Nickelback?”).
There’s a big difference in functionality too –- Facebook says that if a page becomes popular enough, administration will be handed over to the Facebook community. In other words, Community Pages become a whole lot like a wiki once they reach a certain threshold.
Another goal for Facebook is to keep official Pages in the hands of their respective brand owners. A company spokesperson tells us that Community Pages “give our users opportunities to express their enthusiasm and creativity, while allowing for Official Pages to continue representing official entities such as businesses, bands and public figures.”
At the same time, this means that we might start to see a whole lot more “unofficial” Pages crop up for brands and public figures, free of nasty naming rights issues (remember that girl who claimed Baja Fresh in the Facebook name land grab?).
You can create Community Pages here. What do you think of the feature? What might you use it for? Let us know in the comments.
