Financial Times analyses twitter phenomenon. Very interesting to read. 'If Twitter succeeds in attracting a mass audience, there will be "all sorts of revenue opportunities", claims Mr Chaffee. But for now, with plenty of cash in the bank, it can afford to build its audience for "years" before worrying about how to make money, he says. This "build it and they will come" approach has produced many of the biggest names on the internet. It was the strategy behind household names such as YouTube and Skype as well as Google itself. Twitter still has a long way to go to join that club but, among the many consumer internet services that are struggling for attention, it has a better chance than most."

A very good demonstration that SharePoint Portal Server is not an Enterprise 2.0 solution, and that you must avoir using it if you want your users build new real social practices for productivity, reactivity, innovation and competitiveness.

Think you know what work might look like in the future? Zoho's evangelist (and guy who setup their data center) Raju Vegesna shows me how he can gather data from the Internet, process it in a spreadsheet, and build a report -- all within minutes using Zoho's free services. Oh, and all while he could be collaborating with coworkers from around the world on live data. This is a new way to work and it's pretty exciting to think about how cloud-based technologies like Zoho's suite of applications will change how we'll work

Always interesting to hear what Tim O'Reilly has to say about the future of the Internet

Les géants de l'interent seraient-ils en train de recréer sous une forme plus moderne les cités industrielles d'antan ? Une sorte de co-working à l'envers peut-être ?
