Here are my weekly notes:
- Finally got a new phone today! I gave in and got a BlackBerry. I was looking at the Pearl, but in the end went with the Curve (8330 on Telus). One of the first things I did when I got home was download TwitterBerry!
- I’ve been playing with a new C# library for Twitter this week called tweet# or tweetsharp. It was written by Daniel Crenna and features a fluent interface. Very cool.
- Also on the topic of libraries for developers, jQuery released version 1.3 this week!
- I’ve seen dozens of Windows 7 reviews this week, but none as interesting or useful as Tim Sneath’s Bumper List of Windows 7 Secrets. Don’t miss it.
- A number of blogs discussed the state of Enterprise RSS this week. Greg Reinacker from NewsGator wrote a fantastic reply on Thursday. He says Enterprise RSS is there as an enabler, and is “in more places than you probably think.”
- Interesting article at The Daily Beast on The Gig Economy. Tina Brown posits that no one has a job anymore, instead they have gigs.
- Ready for Tuesday? I’m looking forward to Barack Obama’s inauguration!
Mack, Mike Gotta of the Burton Group also had some good observations on this and the role of Enterprise RSS http://mikeg.typepad.com/perceptions/rss/
At Attensa we share Greg’s view but would add that how the tools relate to enterprise information challenges has a long way to go but is getting there. http://www.attensa.com/blogs/attensa/2009/01/enterprise_rss_the_end_or_the_1.php
