'The post Might Curators Be An Answer To Twitter’s Signal To Noise Problem? appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. My stats in 2008.

Twitter’s lack of growth over the past few months has quickly become its defining narrative – witness Inside Twitter’s plan to fix itself from Quartz, which despite the headline, fails to actually explain anything about said plan.

DB2 for z/OS People: Wearing Your "Applications" Hat Versus Your "Systems" Hat

Robert's Db2

Not long ago, a colleague of mine sent to me an e-mail message that he'd received from a person who supports DB2 for z/OS at a US-based company. In this message the IT professional wrote of some DB2-accessing application programs that were running into lock contention issues with page-level locking (the default) in effect. He knew that going to row-level locking for the target tables (accomplished by altering the associated table spaces with LOCKSIZE(ROW)) would likely resolve the locking confli

Government Open Data Success Via Information Sharing, Enterprise Architecture and Data Assets

Interactive Information Management

The title of this article is quite a mouthful, and three very complex and broadly-scoped disciplines mashed together. But that's what's happening all over, isn't it, driven by consumer demand on their iPhones - mashing and manipulating information that's managed to leak through the risk-adverse, highly-regulated mantle of the government's secure data cocoon, and instantly sharing it for further rendering, visualization or actual, productive use.

DB2 for z/OS SQL PL Routines: REBIND PACKAGE vs. ALTER REGENERATE

Robert's Db2

I have long been a big fan of DB2 for z/OS native SQL procedures, but I also recognized early on that putting this technology to use would require DB2 DBAs to learn some new things. Much of this newness has to do with the fact that for a native SQL procedure (and for its more recently arrived cousin, the "native" SQL scalar function , also known as a compiled SQL scalar function or a non-inline SQL scalar function), there is no external-to-DB2 executable -- no object module, no load module.

Improving SharePoint Designer's Code View

JKevinParker

Typeface preferences are subjective. That said, some fonts are just more readable than others. This is true even in "code view". Code editors should generally use a monospaced font (a font where each character is the same width), as this allows us to see patterns within lines of code more easily. But your font does not have to be awful. Like Courier New.
