News story dumps I have been meaning to mention
Tags :Tagging
I find myself making notes of articles I want to comment on and never get completed. So today was clean up the desk and finally talk about a few of them as time permits.
1) Network World- Tagging, no longer fun and easy
I wholly agree with this article in figuring out how to properly tag my entries. Do I use spaces, no spaces, weird wording strung together? Soon you have a list of tags longer than the posting or never to be found by such things as Technorati or Digg. What if the parsing on the site doesn't like spaces or ampersand signs? How does the string get split for tags? Worse yet, is it considered over tagging to use notes8beta, Domino 8, Notes 8 and other variations when talking about the same thing? My guess is yes, it is.
2) CIO Decision - Information Security : Are We There Yet? (free login required)
How many of your enterprises have a clear path and understanding of what should be managed under information security? Most sites I visit do not, at all. They encrypt certain mail messages and data stores yet allow open public IM messaging that is not filtered and no VPN or SSL software for web access. Most of the reasoning relies around lack of knowledge and funding. I don't buy lack of security specialists at all.
3) Flurry, free email and news feeds for your phone.
Well if Blackberry was not on your radar, take a look at Flurry. News feeds and the ability to grab email from multiple accounts rights to your phone. You need a Java equipped phone but it looked nice and was a free service. Worth the 2 second effort.
4) Messaging News - Corporations Cannot Hide Behind Employee Blogs: When is a Personal Blogger a Corporate Commentator?
I think the answer here is simple. When you cross the line and mention trade, business or customer information in your public blog without consent. Disclaimers are goofy and who is to say what you write does not reflect the company. My blog is hosted (and read) by people at Connectria, but they can search away and never find a customer name or company info provided unless it was in a press release. Companies have Internet use, sometimes email use and never instant messaging use policies. It is time to catch up and add a blogger use policy. Discussing intimate company details makes you a commentator.
