Re: Import and Archive Your Tweets With WordPress

Your tutorial was very accessible - thanks for this.
I got my archive set up at cmogle.info. I'm currently running the script to bring in the 5,000+ tweets that Twitter did not initially serve up to the archiver.
Do you have any aspirations to develop a mobile/responsive theme (looks great on desktop, but I'd be keen to see a mobile-version of the theme.
Great work all round to you and to @ozh

Re: Banks Can’t Have Innovation Because? False Certainty Kills It

Very interesting points raised throughout.
I see a mismatch between metrics used by incumbent boards to assess performance now and those needed to secure sustainable futures.
Existing KPIs typically serve to provide observable metrics for shareholders (and regulators).
They are not particularly useful to indicate the ability of an incumbent bank to thrive in an uncertain future.
Until boards are ready to mostly focus on, measure, and manage issues which affect their future, rather than the past models, we will see far too little improvement.
In this environment, challengers will make (relatively) easy progress by obsessing on the things that customers experience.

Sounds like "Leisure Sickness" - first coined by Ad Vingerhoets. We need to keep you away from "Paradise Syndrome" too.

Re: Self-tracker round-up: Basis, Fitbit, Jawbone, Fuelband, Bodymedia

I'm massively disappointed with my Fitbit Flex - I've had several Fitbit Ultra and One models. I pre-ordered Flex without even checking the features. The wristband is uncomfortable, the charging cradle is poorly designed and the UX to check progress or change modes is truly laughable. However, perhaps the worst thing overall is that they do not track floors climbed. I'm probably going to go back to another Fitbit One, but I'm giving it another week.

Interesting, guys. Good for you. I'm keen to see how this one pans out.

Re: Fixing the Google+ Engagement Problem

Really interesting. I would much rather Google took this type of approach than pushing me 'What's Hot' content - I'll be far more engaged if Google can connect me with people with whom I share interests.

Bravo. I am with Tek_Fin. This deserves a comment as thoughtful as the post itself.

Re: Steve Jobs’s Legacy: The Best Answers to the Most Important Question

cmogle — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:13:52 -0000

Probably not possible to isolate his 'legacy' yet - because I don't believe he's finished.
We'll feel and enjoy the benefits of his approach to design and delivery for many moons.For me, the biggest thing is that he showed that form AND function can be combined. And yes, he ensured Apple gives us what we wanted - but not by waiting for us to tell them what that was - he just showed us.

Re: Daily Mail newspaper plants job advert in robots.txt file

Something similar was done by an Australian(?) firm recruiting a new accountant/financial controller years ago.

They placed a job offer in the narrative text accompanying small unexpected payments - payments which might have been missed by all but the most diligent of accountants.

"If you find this message, you've got the attention to detail that we want - call us on xxx-xxxx to talk."

Feels like it is probably clean, fresh and inspirationally functional.
However, I'm stuck with a legacy IE6 installation so it barely works for me here in the office.
I know that's a rather obvious subliminal message in itself, but some of those who could benefit most from your insight and guidance are probably in the same boat as I find myself.
Good luck, regardless.

Painful process but glad you see the silver lining.
Hope too that you'll be making more of it now that you've gained new insight.

Re: Somethings change everything

I'm more excited by the cloud than Chuck below for many reasons, but one is merely a by-product of the storage/access paradigm rather than the processing power aspect.
Effective, ubiquitous access to cloud data implies that corporate IT security concerns have been successfully addressed.
Too often, businesses are held back from reaching anywhere near full potential because of some mythical security concern.
Allowing staff to share data and collaborate compliantly with other parts of their organisation and their strategic partners should boost productivity and innovation rates.
This may be old news, but there's still much to be done in this space.

Thanks for pulling this together.
Wondering whether next paradigm may in fact need to be considered a collection of splinter paradigms - that there will be too much parallel change to be fit conveniently under one umbrella.
Cloud computing and associated access may well be epochal enough though.
Exciting and interesting indeed.

Where's the finished article, I wonder?

Sounds ideal. What independent measure is there that we (or indeed, either of us) is getting value for money? I am astonished by TWiT and TWiP broadcasts where contributors attend via Skype since the quality far exceeds anything I could reasonably expect.

Robert Scoble regularly highlights Facebook's propensity to delete user accounts for apparent ToS violations. Without comfort on how these policies will be enforced going forwards, is there actually little risk of the Facebook API initiative being a Twitter-killer after all?

If you're going to use photographs for your blog posts under Creative Commons, it might be nice to reference who took them (other than you taking them effectively).

Re: The wrong sort of risk.

Thought-provoking material - not unpalatably radical for managers either (pleased he did not promote the mescaline angle further). I firmly believe in the opportunity here but am wary of the risk that boards interpret this only as a siren call for occasional team-building "outings" and exercises.
Rather they must recognise the need for radical cultural change - delivering a sustainable, trusted environment which genuinely promotes and rewards creativity.
Reaching that point may require them to have some playtime themselves.
