This is the big question. You know my answer, in the future we'll not need anymore files, because everything will be manager online (produced and consumed online). I'm living with this all day, the only files I'm managing are those received from external people. Myself I'm not producing anymore files, everything is produced on a SaaS service (mind maps, docs, spreadsheets, accounting, billing, timesheet, bug tracking, development tracking, sales pipeline, CRM, task management, etc...)

Article intéressant je pense en matière d'impact sur le SI de l'entreprise.

Competition in the cloud file management will be hard. Dropbox, Box, Drive, Skydrive, .... great actors, with a lot of interesting features. I think Box missed the opportunity to have a great Google Apps integration, they didn't follow our suggestions, implementing Google Docs is a very odd way, and Google now has done with Drive what Box could have done years before. So for most of our customers, it's better to use Drive than Box, even if Box features are by themselves more interesting. But with no correct integration of Google Docs, this doesn't allow to use thme in the google Apps environment.

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."

Good news about this is that pure players of the internet are improving their security dramatically. This is very good, and a necessary step for everybody. It's why also Google is so much secure than the others, they have taken already all this actions few years ago, because fully of the security problems.

Stop using IE, it is too dangerous and IE is completely inefficien for SaaS applications. Deploy FireFox or Chrome instead, you will gain a lot in security and rapidity.
