The post Am I An Outlier, Or Are Apple Products No Longer Easy To Use? appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. I’ve been a Mac guy for almost my entire adult life. I wrote my first college papers on a typewriter, but by the end of my freshman year – almost 30 years ago – I was on an IBM PC. Then, in 1984, I found the Mac, and I never looked back.

The history of the Internet, the World Wide Web and corporate intranets share a common heritage. Some where along the way intranets parted way, but the trinity of social, mobile and cloud is bringing them back together again. Before we look at what this means for intranets, I want to spend some time considering their history. In this post: Where did intranets comes from?

First, some explanation as to what I mean by "trimming and upgrading" indexes. My use of "trimming" refers to reducing the number of indexes defined on tables, through elimination of indexes that aren't providing value. Having fewer indexes on a table is good for cost efficiency, as every index increases the CPU cost of every insert and delete operation targeting the table (and every update of an indexed column), increases the cost of execution of several DB2 utilities (including LOAD, REORG, an

One of the things I often remind clients is that if you want to be social on the outside, you need to be social on the inside too (that's sort of a short definition of "social business" too). I'm lucky to work not just within the isolated internal collaboration domain, but across the spectrum of internal to external and back again. So, interesting to see Hootsuite release a new internal " conversations " feature: They aren't the only vendor that supports features like this of course.

The constant challenge for social software is to boil down the ongoing process of technology change happening around us into bite sized concepts that people can hang on to. Its the tyranny of reductionist thinking, because the moment we do that we often lose sight of what is actually happening. To that point, one of the most contentious issues that falls into this trap is the idea of activity streams versus email.
