Socialprise | “…applications are a convergence of social media and enterprise applications”. *sigh*, you have a busy couple of weeks and they sneak a new buzzword on you. More here and here. It seems to be a step beyond with the likes of Oracle are doing – adding social functionality to existing systems. Instead, based on what InsideView seems to be offering, platforms now actively search the social web for customer data.

Blist Social Network | Social Networks are about data and communication right? So what makes more sense than a social network based on sharing databases?

Live Journal abandons its previous pricing model | I found this interesting for two reasons:

1) As the article states, LJ was unusual in the subscription options it offered.
2) LJ seems to be becoming an object lesson on how NOT to run an online community.

Everywhere and nowhere | The article doesn’t have anything particularly original to say, especially for those who are “in the business”, but I did note with interest that Aaron Greenspan had left a comment.

Amazon Takes the Humans Out of Fulfillment With New API | It’s something that some of the Sri Lanka based organizations I’m working for might seriously consider. While they are eager to start selling over the web, there’s any number of logistical issues – particularly for the smaller companies – that hold them back. Amazon’s page on Fulfillment is here and relevant information for overseas based organizations can be found here.

Breathtaking Typographic Posters | Some stunning designs. One of my perennial complaints about web design, particularly in Sri Lanka, is the lack of graphic design knowledge that is displayed. As a  result, one of the most useful books I have is Stylepedia. The book also proves an invaluable tool for generating ideas with clients.
