I read with interest about Color , a new social photo app that was much in the news today. The main angle of coverage was the size of the pre-revenue company's funding - $41 million from Sequoia and Bain. Hell, the company isn't just pre-revenue, it's pre-product.at least for now. Tomorrow the actual product launches. If it works as advertised, it may well be the first truly execution of augmented reality that truly scales.

First of all, if your organization uses DB2 for z/OS, I hope that you have a DB2 monitor on the system. While several of the DB2 DISPLAY commands provide information that's useful for monitoring activity on a DB2 subsystem (a favorite of mine is -DISPLAY BUFFERPOOL(ACTIVE) DETAIL), for an in-depth view into what's going on you really want the capabilities of a monitor tool at your disposal.

As I noted earlier in the week , I had the opportunity to speak at a GM conference today. I was asked to peer into the future of the "app world," and deliver any divinations I might discover. I like a challenge like this, as it forces me to weave any number of slender threads of my current thinking into a more robust and compact narrative. Below is an updated version of a slide I presented today.

Yay, my new box of books from Amazon have arrived! I bought several Wrox Press "Professional" books on SharePoint 2010 and ASP.NET so I can continue my skill development in those technologies.

Google today did something smart in social - they offered a human way to do something they had already offered - the ability to indicate your approval of a search result. Previously, you could push a result up or down, but that action was not social in nature. Now you can "+1" a search result, so as to indicate the result was good and/or valuable to you.

I love that Facebook is testing real time conversational advertising. In short, the idea is that the right ad shows up on someone's Facebook page when they declare some intention. As the Ad Age coverage puts it: Users who update their status with "Mmm, I could go for some pizza tonight," could get an ad or a coupon from Domino's, Papa John's or Pizza Hut.With real-time delivery, the mere mention of having a baby, running a marathon, buying a power drill or wearing high-heeled shoes is transforme
