Andy Mulholland delivering insight at eGov 2009 conference in Sweden
The EU conference eGov 2009 just finished in Malmö. It has been two days filled with discussions and debates on the shape of the future e-government of the EU. The goals are lofty and ambitious in the accepted declaration and I look forward to seeing the visions be implemented. Capgemini was obviously there and Andy Mulholland, our own CTO, had a presentation yesterday and was interviewed afterwards. What are your comments?
New tech discussion
We will be launching a live photo stream from an event in Stockholm that starts in approximately 1,5 hours. It will be on topics from Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco recently. I think you could like it. We will also live stream it on Bambuser. That you can find here. Or follow in the embedded player below. Hopefully this will work, this is the first time trying this particular kind of streaming media.
Follow on twitter from Web 2.0 Expo
Short morning post here from the west coast in the US and web 2.0 Expo. I will be manically tweeting the last day of the expo and if you wanna follow, add @johanbergelin. By the way, picture above show the Queries per Second when Obama used Google Moderator to get questions for a speech. Quite cool and the numbers were announced just 10 min ago. Remember where you read it first.
First impressions last – web 2.0 Expo thoughts
Johan from Tieto, sleepy eye Mattias from Blogloving and Dan from Blogloving as well. The expo has had its first half day and I must say my feelings are mixed. Some ups and some downs and some stuff we have already seen. For me the day kicked of with a panel discussion around social media marketing which was moderated a not very well functioning Twitter hashtag system. Essentially, twitter your question to the panel and …
The joy of intercontinental flights or let’s make Mr Khonaysser a web star
I must admit, when I first entered flight UA901 at Frankfurt Airport bound for San Francisco, I did not have any high anticipations for the actual flight. It all started at check in. Apparently, which was very poorly communicated, you have to check in a secondary time in transit going to the US. Security checks in the Nordics are obviously not sufficient for immigration in the land of the free. Accompanying the check-in I needed …
Look for changes elsewhere
There is currently a small ruckus in the in the blogosphere in Sweden around the low quality of blogs, around the herd mentality that often comes with a hot topic being discussed. The complaints are all too common, we hear them all the time, often put forward by representatives from so called old media that see their monopoly on organisation of information being challenged by, ohh my god, individuals! Equally often I hear people expressing …
Web 2.0 Expo – socializing?
I am going to Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco in the beginning of April. Needless to say, this will be a great and most educating conference. And hey, I will get to see SF, from what I can gather from Bullit is a quite tremendous little city. Anyway, I want to meet up with people of all sorts, Capgeminin people, web people, readers of the blog people, all kinds that havea common interest in …
Simon Wardley and Innovation – Lego IT explained
This video quite elegantly puts an academic aspect on the concept of Lego IT that I outlined briefly recently. Jon Mulholland notified this in the comment thread. Thank you for the link, Jon.
Lego IT – competitive advantage by assembly
Meeting clients and discussing their IT challenges and how they look at how IT can support competitive advantage is always interesting and enlightening. One common argument that often comes up is that the truly differentiating solutions, where a company builds an edge towards their competitors, need to be supported by internally developed IT systems that are unique. The view is that standard off-the-shelf packages can´t be used since competitors could then copy the solution and …
Streaming love!
When I opened my email-box this morning I was pleasantly surprised. Very pleasantly. Someone at Spotify had decided to send me an invite to their rather amazing music streaming service. This post I primarily about that I need to tell the world about that. Rest assured, the invite did not come with an agreement to mention them in every second post here, it came with no strings attached what so ever and I am no …
