It’s all over the news these days: Display advertising is dead. Or put more accurately, the world of “boxes and rectangles” is dead. No one pays attention to banner ads, the reasoning goes, and the model never really worked in the first place (except for direct response). Brand marketers are demanding more for their money, and “standard display” is simply not delivering.

A very different experience here in South Australia (at least, in the department where I’m based). Rather than just an element of social networking, we went with Socialtext, an ESN platform that offers blogging, micro-blogging, wikis, groups, collaborative workspaces and a range of other features. I think the big difference is that we didn’t just install and configure the software, we took on the cultural change that is necessary to get the best out of it.

Who makes DB2 for z/OS a great database management system? Well, the IBM DB2 developers, of course. But who else? You , that's who. You, the users of DB2 for z/OS, have provided IBM with a steady stream of enhancement requests since the product was introduced in 1983. There have been various means by which DB2 requirements have been communicated by users to IBM, including an application called FITS.

The headlines about Facebook’s IPO – along with questions about its business model – are now officially cringeworthy. It’s an ongoing, rolling study in how society digests important news about our industry, and it’s far from played out. But we seem at an interesting tipping point in perception, and now seemed a good time to weigh in with a few words on the subject.

A lot of organizations have already migrated from DB2 for z/OS Version 8 to a more-current release of DB2 -- either DB2 9 or (in the case of skip-level migrations) DB2 10. For the most part, those migrations from DB2 V8 went quite smoothly; however, some companies making the move from DB2 V8 to DB2 9 or DB2 10 have encountered performance problems related to one thing: the need in DB2 9 and DB2 10 environments for more resources -- disk space, table spaces, buffer pool space -- associated with w

Given the overwhelming hype around Facebook’s IPO this week, it’s worth remembering such a thing exists – and even though it’s in private beta, Diaspora is one of the largest open source pr

Last night on a whim I asked folks on Twitter if they had a home phone – you know, a “hard line” – the k ind of communications device that used to be ubiquitous, but seem increasingly an anachronism these days. The response was overwhelming – only three or four of about 35 responses, about ten percent, said they did, and most of those had them due to bad cel reception or because it makes people feel safe in case of an emergency (the “911 effect”).
