The Federal Trade Commission’s second “Exploring Privacy” roundtable concluded Thursday, January 28, 2010. The roundtable did not provide many firm conclusions, but it did help further refine some hard issues facing privacy protection. Although Thursday’s hearing was intended to be devoted to technology issues, the role of regulation appeared to dominate the discussions.

OK, these are good goals, but do we focus too much on the negative benefits that the tools in the ECM industry provide at the expense of pointing out how valuable and effective those tools can be at providing real ROI and positive value?

( image ) While the world watches the next coming of Jobs , I reflected on my gut feeling as to the iPad, and why that feeling is inherently one of disappointment (see my predictions 2010 (#5) and my post earlier this week ). And I'll admit, this one is not entirely logical. But then again, I don't always base my predictions (or my business decisions) on pure logic.

I’ve been taking a hard look at Twitter this January: it’s a service at the heart of the ’social computing’ and ‘real time web’ movement’s concepts and ideas, and I’ve found it enormously useful on a number of levels since my first ‘Tweet‘ in 2007. I recently significantly cut back on my use of Twitter since [.

Forget the iPad, today Google is taking another step toward its stated goal of " making search more social." There's a lot of goodness in here, in terms of features and approach, but it's just silly to pretend you can do any of this without directly addressing the 400 million-person elephant in the room called Facebook. Put simply: I can't figure out if this new service uses my Facebook social graph.

for its core property, search. And it's pretty good (it's a series of well produced ads, on YouTube, natch). I've predicted for some time that Google would have to start brand marketing itself, but so far I've only seen product marketing for Adwords or Android. This is the first time I've seen a real ad for Google.com search. See it below. (I noticed this because the teaser banner, above, was running tonight on my own site through Adsense.).

driven by the need to kick Google off the iPhone? An interesting idea. Worth thinking about. From a Businessweek article : Some analysts believe the Apple-Google battle is likely to get much rougher in the months ahead. Ovum's Yarmis thinks Apple may soon decide to dump Google as the default search engine on its devices, primarily to cut Google off from mobile data that could be used to improve its advertising and Android technology.

It's my sincere hope that this blows up, not over. With reports coming in that the Chinese government was most certainly behind the attack on Google and 20 other companies (and has done this before), and that the White House is now supporting Google's position , it's about time that we call a spade a spade here. What China is doing is wrong, regardless of how much debt of ours they hold.

I've said before that search interfaces, stuck in the command line interface of DOS, will at some point evolve into applications on top of a commodity search index. I further opined that Bing, in particular Bing's limited but compelling visual search , was just such an example: search as an interactive, rich application, as opposed to search as a list of results.

I remember the time when Sergey and Larry swore they'd never have ads on the homepage of Google. Last month I noted a big one for Chrome. Today there's an additional one. Now that's TWO ads! Google has its own products to market now, and it's using it's biggest firehose of attention to tell folks about them. Both are major new fronts in very large wars: Mobile and OS/Browser.

The iPad announcement took two months to build up, so it's not going away in one day. Today's news is dominated by Monday morning quarterbacking around the device, and so far, the fanboys and tech blogosphere are, by and large, not pleased. The image at left represent a few of the stories I've been reading across the web. I've filed them away in a folder I call "Predictions Support", as they all seem to support my thesis that the iPad would disappoint.

One of my predictions this year (#2) focused on Google becoming a software brand. To my mind, every interaction with a brand strengthens a consumers understanding of what the brand means. And with that in mind, this dialog box, which has been popping up every so often on my desktop, certainly screams "Google is a software brand" to me. In the past, just two other companies have had this kind of a relationship with me: Apple and Microsoft.

Reading coverage of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's recent commentary on his company's newly changed privacy policies, I was struck with the urge to ask all of you a question: Do you think this is a big deal? Or is this simply the evolution of our society's ongoing contract with the individual, an evolution that Facebook is reflecting? In short, as Marshall submits in his article on RWW, is Facebook trailing public sentiment on privacy, or is he forging it?

(Excerpted from a longer post on BingTweets , part of a series I've been writing, underwritten by Bing). In my predictions this week I seemed unusually glum about the state of search, writing: Traditional search results will deteriorate to the point that folks begin to question search's validity as a service. This statement did not go unnoticed by folks in the industry, and I received quite a few emails, Tweets, and comments asking what on earth I meant.

So far, the answer is no, and Adobe semi-officially chastised Apple in this post: Apple's iPad -- a broken link? However, a site called 9to5Mac studied the iPad introduction video, and found that Flash must be working on the device, because it's used on the nyt.com, which was featured in the demo: The iPad has Adobe's Flash on Apple's video.
