    Excellent addition Sean! As a concerned Coloradoan, currently working in DC, I am very interested in enabling positive transformation in our Colorado government. Thanks.

    I was a Twitter skeptic for a long time. I had no interest in sharing what I was eating, or what movie I was going to. And maybe even less interested in reading that kind of info from others. (Curmudgeon factor!)

    Recently, however, I’ve converted. I find Twitter to be a valuable source of real-time information – current events/news, trends,…[Read more]

    Nathan.

    You make some good points; at least as social computing pertains to that segment of the workforce who “did not grow up with computing.” Although I think you’re too pessimistic in number 3. Aren’t most social computing (end-user) tools at least as easy to use as the MS Office suite?

    For me, the overarching issue is that the use of social…[Read more]

    Victor Brown started the topic A Rational Discussion of Web 2.0 in the Federal Government in the forum E-government 11 years, 3 months ago

    Here’s an excellent article by Chris Richter (http://bit.ly/27xlTM) that addresses one of the realities facing Web 2.0 in the Federal government – chain of command. As Chris points out, it’s neither realistic nor desirable to leverage Web 2.0 technologies to totally flatten our chains of command.

    There are, however, many opportunities to leverage…[Read more]

    Victor Brown replied to the topic Is IaaS Doomed in the forum Cloud Services | SaaS-DaaS-PaaS-IaaS-XaaS 11 years, 3 months ago

    Agree!!

    Recently, I’ve been giving presentations about Cloud strategies which of course entail talking about the trinity — IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. I haven’t thought of any way around the IaaS pronunciation, so I’ve just turned it into humor (at least I hope it’s funny), by saying, “SaaS, PaaS, and. . . hum… well, I’m sure you get it.”

    That’s…[Read more]

    @04rc7uuoa3vqnGood morning, Kristie.

    Thanks for the note. The opportunity to participate at the Security Conference and Exhibition on Nov. 12-13 sounds interesting. Tell me more.

    Victor Brown replied to the topic Gov 2.0 tools in the forum Government 2.0 Club 11 years, 4 months ago

    Thanks Henry. Interesting information.

    But in some aspects, it does seem to be counter to my personal experience working in a variety of corporate environments. I’d be curious about the very small sample (2001) and where the sample was drawn from.

    For example, I have clients for whom IM is part of the corporate infrastructure – tens of thousands…[Read more]

    Very interesting dialog! I look forward to “hearing” more.

    I’m a chronological member of the Boomers, but I’m definitely an emotional, attitudinal, and intellectual member of Gen-C. (Whew! Did I use enough adjectives?)

    Debbe’s comments resonate strongly… labels have always scared me! I strongly believe that any progress we can make to erase the…[Read more]
