I had the pleasure of attending the GTD summit last week: the inaugural conference arranged by The David Allen Company around the GTD methodology outlined in Allen’s book ‘Getting Things Done: The art of stress free productivity‘.

The Neiman Journalism Lab has gotten its hands on a forum with the Publisher of the NYT and the-then Editor of Digital for Time Inc., in which they struggle with the question of how the Interwebs were going to impact their print biz. It's fascinating reading. From the overview, written by Zachary Seward: But the transcript is also notable for how little distance some of these debates have traveled in the intervening years.

Like anyone who works in the enterprise social computing space, Thomas Vander Wal's post about SharePoint was essential reading. He concludes: " What is clear out of all of this is SharePoint has value, but it is not a viable platform to be considered for when thinking of enterprise 2.0. SharePoint only is viable as a cog of a much larger implementation with higher costs.

Now that new packages are out for lcms and OpenJDK, I'll publish my LittleCMS exploit. It's harmless in that if it actually works on your machine, all it does it put your CPU into a spin -- watch out for 100% CPU usage. It's also relatively harmless in that it doesn't work on many systems out of the box. I targeted my 32-bit Ubuntu 8.10 laptop which happens to have an executable heap, executable stack, no stack cookies but does have ASLR.

The tweet is the query. From Ad Age , which penned a good piece on the promise of Twitter search: In the future, searches won't only query what's being said at the moment, but will go out to the Twitter audience in the form of a question, like a faster and less-filtered Yahoo Answers or Wiki Answers. Users would be able to tap the collective knowledge of the 6 million or so members of the Twitterverse.

I will never forget that quote , from Alta Vista founder Louis Monier, as he bemoaned the devolution of his creation into Yet Another Portal. He was devoted to the idea that Alta Vista would do one thing - search - and do it well. But Alta Vista was instead turned into a bawdy image of Yahoo, AOL, Lycos, Excite, and all the other portals of the late 90s.

It's Twitter's third birthday, and there's been lots of chatter about Twitter's growth lately, so I thought I'd try to find some context. Google (officially) launched in Sept 1998. Three years later it had nearly 18mm US uniques (comscore). Facebook launched in mid 2004. Three years later it had nearly 27mm US unique users (comscore). Twitter launched in March 2006.

Search, and Google in particular, was the first true language of the Web. But I've often called it a toddler's language - intentional, but not fully voiced. This past few weeks folks are noticing an important trend - the share of traffic referred to their sites is shifting. Facebook (and for some, like this site, Twitter) is becoming a primary source of traffic.

This I find quite worthy of comment. More after breakfast. AOL is getting new leadership again, just two years after the outgoing executives were chosen to turn around the struggling dial-up and content company. Google Senior Vice President Tim Armstrong will take over as chairman and chief executive, replacing Randy Falco, said Time Warner, AOL's parent company.

The popular online hangout Facebook is revamping its home page and plans other changes so its millions of users can more easily choose the types of information they see.

I have been thinking about this a lot. How we are finally taking technology and making it serve our evolution, the two major breakthroughs of being human - our fingers - finely tuned gesticulation as a reflection of our minds - and our voices - again, finally tuned expression of our minds. Pattie is on to something here. This post is really a bookmark of sorts, for more thinking that I've been doing about how this relates to search, real time search, and interface.

The Times runs a piece today citing a media analyst at Sanford Bernstein claiming: monetizing Twitter “would be difficult at best and likely unsuccessful.” People who sign up for free services tend to resent a company for trying to wring revenue from the business later. Subscription fees are out of the question, they said, and advertising-based revenues don’t seem to have yielded enough cash flow to make a Web 2.0 property viable.

I just logged into Facebook for the first time since The Change. And I have to say, it's totally a Twitter experience. Except.that's not why I am going to Facebook. I find myself wanting all the simplicity and tools of Twitter, and they are not there. (Except I like the threaded conversations, which are nice, however, I wonder if and how folks know you've "replied?").

As I think through the major themes of the book I hope to write over the next year, the word "horizontal" keeps coming up, over and over and over. It comes up in nearly every conversation I have with marketers. More often than not, when you get to the heart of an innovative marketing program, you find a block that can be summed up thusly: "That's not what we do.".
