This week we have launched the new site where we will be maintaining a blog, podcast, and all kinds [...]
There is an interesting battle going on between the Enterprise Irregulars vs. Robert Scoble and Nick Carr about the lack of sexiness in enterprise software. In Scoble's original post, he asks if anyone knows how to make business software sexy. Fellow Irregular, Michael Krigsman, responded in his blog:
Enterprise software is all about helping [...]
Majority Desk is a project that Dan McWeeney and I worked on this year for demo jam at SAP TechEd. It's basically a 3D rendered widget desktop ran by an open source physics server; and oh yeah, all user interaction is completely controlled by two Nintendo wiimotes. It supports full interaction with flash movies running on floating, spinning [...]
Let's face it, knowledge workers of today's new net generation are different than the cubicle junkies of the past. The new NetGen is a burst economy rather than a busy economy. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I highly recommend you read this classic blog entry by Anne Zelenka from Web Worker Daily [...]

In a recent response from Mike Prosceno of SAP, he answers a couple of questions regarding his post about Enterprise 2.0 and The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration.

A powerful global conversation has begun. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, [...]
I used to think I was half way competent until I recently tried to order a pen and some laser printer toner using the newly implemented procurement application at my workplace. Boy, was I wrong; it turns out that I must be flat-out, stupid.
I tried, I really did, but upon entry into a maze [...]
Last year, a big eye opener for me was watching Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth. More recently, I have been reading Thomas Friedman's new book Hot, Flat, and Crowded. It's sad and depressing to watch, even in the span of my own lifetime, what we are doing to our precious planet. [...]
Last week, I was introduced to an application called feedly by one of my fellow Enterprise Irregulars, Anshu Sharma. From the home page, it's described as "…a firefox extension which weaves twitter and Google Reader into a magazine like experience." In Anhsu's blog post, his focus is on the new service called feedly [...]
A lot of people ask me if the the lake that I live on in New Jersey freezes in the winter. It does indeed freeze solid, and it's really cool to see the different winter activities on the lake. Some things you would expect, and some others that are a little less known. [...]
